may damage the product.
• Do not keep the refrigerator doors open for
long periods.
• Do not place hot food or beverages into the
refrigerator.
• Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the
internal air flow will reduce cooling capacity.
• To be able store maximum food in the freezer
compartment of your refrigerator, the upper
drawers have to be removed and placed on
top of wire rack. The net volume and energy
consumption values specified in the energy
label of the refrigerator was tested after
removing the freezer compartment’s upper
shelf and the ice container which can easily
be removed manually. Using the lower drawer
while loading is highly recommended.
• Depending on the product’s features;
defrosting frozen foods in the cooler
compartment will ensure energy saving and
preserve food quality.
• Make sure the foods are not in contact with
the cooler compartment temperature sensor
described below.
• Food must be stored in drawers inside the
cooler compartment in order to provide energy
saving and preserve the food in a better
ambient.
• Prevent direct contact between the
temperature sensor in the freezer compartment
and the food packages. Energy consumption
may increase in case of a contact with the
sensor.
4.2. First use

Movable middle section is intended to prevent
the cold air inside your refrigerator from escaping
outside.
Sealing is provided when the gaskets on the door
presses on the surface of the movable middle
section while the cooler compartment doors are
closed.
Another reason that your refrigerator is equipped
with a movable middle section is that it increases
the net volume of the cooler compartment.Standard
middle sections occupy some non-usable volume in
the refrigerator.
Movable middle section is closed when the left
door of the cooler compartment is closed.
It must not be opened manually. It moves under the

5.12. Humidity controlled crisper
(FreSHelf)
(This feature is optional)
Humidity rates of the vegetables and fruit are
kept under control with the feature of humidity-
controlled crisper and the food is ensured to stay
fresh for longer.
We recommend you to place the leafy vegetables
such as lettuce, spinach and the vegetables
which are sensitive to humidity loss, in a hori-
zontal manner as much as possible inside the
crisper, not on their roots in a vertical position.
While the vegetables are being placed, specific
gravity of the vegetables should be taken into
consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables should
be put at the bottom of the crisper and the
lightweight and soft vegetables should be placed
over.
Never leave the vegetables inside the crisper in
their bags. If the vegetables are left inside their
bags, this will cause them to decompose in a
short period of time. In case contacting with
other vegetables is not preferred for hygiene
concerns, use a perforated paper and other
similar packaging materials instead of a bag.
Do not place together the pear, apricot, peach,
etc. and apple in particular which have a high
level of generation of ethylene gas in the same
crisper with the other vegetables and fruit. The
ethylene gas which is emitted by these fruit may
cause the other fruit to ripen faster and decom-
pose in a shorter time.
