5.13. Moisture
controlled
vegetable bin
(Optional)
With moisture control feature,
moisture rates of vegetables and
fruits are kept under control and
ensures a longer freshness period for
foods.
It is recommended to store leafed
vegetables such as lettuce and
spinach and similar vegetables prone
to moisture loss not on their roots
but in horizontal position into the
vegetable bin as much as possible.
When placing the vegetables, place
heavy and hard vegetables at the
bottom and light and soft ones on the
top, taking into account the specific
weights of vegetables.
Do not leave vegetables in the
vegetable bin in plastic bags.
Leaving them in plastic bags causes
vegetables to rot in a short time. In
situations where contact with other
vegetables is not preferred, use
packaging materials such as paper
that has a certain porosity in terms of
hygiene.
Do not put fruits that have a high
ethylene gas production such as pear,
apricot, peach and particularly apple
in the same vegetable bin with other
vegetables and fruits. The ethylene
gas coming out of these fruits might
cause other vegetables and fruits
to mature faster and rot in a shorter
period of time.
5.14. Automatic
ice machine
(Optional)
Automatic ice machine enables you
to easily make ice in your refrigerator.
In order to obtain ice from the ice
machine, take out the water tank in

can obtain about 60-70 cubes of ice
until it is fully empty.
If the water in the tank has waited for
2-3 weeks, it should be changed.
C
In products with automatic
ice machine, you might hear a
sound when pouring the ice.
This sound is normal and is not
a sign of failure.

5.16. Freezing
fresh food
• To preserve food quality, the
food items placed in the freezer
compartment must be frozen as
quickly as possible, use the rapid
freezing for this.
• Freezing the food items when
fresh will extend the storage time
in the freezer compartment.
• Pack the food items in air-tight
packs and seal tightly.
• Make sure the food items are
packed before putting in the
freezer. Use freezer holders, tinfoil
and damp-proof paper, plastic
bag or similar packaging materials
instead of traditional packaging
paper.
C
Ice in the freezing
compartment thaws
automatically.
• Mark each food pack by writing
the date on the package before
freezing. This will allow you to
determine the freshness of each
pack every time the freezer is
opened. Keep the earlier food
items in the front to ensure they
are used first.
• Frozen food items must be used
immediately after defrosting and
should not be frozen again.
• Do not free large quantities of
food at once.
5.15. Icematic and ice
storage container
*optional
Using the Icematic

5.18. Deep freezer details
As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze
4,5 kg of food items at -18°C or lower temperatures in 24 hours for each 100
litres of freezer compartment volume.
Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below
temperature of -18°C .
You can keep the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer at or below
temperatures of 18°C ).
The food items to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to
avoid partial defrosting.
Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend the frozen storage time.
Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer.
Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and similar food
items should not be frozen. In case this food rots, only nutritional values and
eating qualities will be negatively affected. A rotting threatening human
health is not in question.

WARNING:First unplug the product
before cleaning your refrigerator.
•
Never use any sharp and abrasive
tools, soap, household cleaners,
detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
•
Dissolve one teaspoon of carbonate
in half liter of water. Soak a cloth with
the solution and wrung it thoroughly.
Wipe the interior of the appliance with
this cloth and the dry thoroughly.
•
Make sure that no water enters the
lamp housing and other electrical
items.
•
Clean the door with a damp cloth.
To remove door and body shelves,
remove all of its contents. Remove
door shelves by moving them
upwards. After cleaning, slide them
from top to bottom to install.
•
Never use cleaning agents or water
that contain chlorine to clean the
outer surfaces and chromium coated
parts of the product. Chlorine causes
corrosion on such metal surfaces.
• Do not use sharp, abrasive tools,
soap, household cleaning agents,
detergents, kerosene, fuel oil,
varnish etc. to prevent removal and
deformation of the prints on the
plastic part. Use lukewarm water and
a soft cloth for cleaning and then
wipe it dry.
6.1. Avoiding bad odors
Materials that may cause odor are not
used in the production of our appliances.
However, due to inappropriate food
preserving conditions and not cleaning
the inner surface of the appliance as
required can bring forth the problem of
odor.
Therefore, clean the refrigerator with
carbonate dissolved in water every 15
days.
•
Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from
uncovered containers can cause
unpleasant odours.
•
Never keep the food that have expired
best before dates and spoiled in the
refrigerator.
6.2. Protecting the
plastic surfaces
Clean with arm water immediately as the
oil may cause damage on the surface
when it is poured on plastic surfaces.
6.3. Door Glasses
Remove the protective foil on the
glasses.
There is a coating on the surface of
the glasses.This coating minimizes the
stain build-up and helps to remove the
possible stains and dirt easily.Glasses
that are not protected with such a
coating may be subject to persistent
binding of air or water based organic or
inorganic dirt such as limescale, mineral
salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal
oxides and silicones that can easily and
quickly cause stains or material damage.
Keeping the glass clean becomes too
difficult despite the regular cleaning.
Consequently, the appearance and the
transparency of the glass deteriorates.
Harsh and corrosive cleaning methods
and compounds will intensify these
defects and speed up the deterioration
process.
29/32 EN
Refrigerator / User Guide
Water-based cleaning products that are
not alkaline and corrosive must be used
for regular cleaning purposes.
Non-alkaline and non-corrosive
materials must be used for cleaning so
that the service life of this coating lasts
for a long time.
These glasses are tempered to increase
their durability against impacts and
breaking.A safety film is also applied to
their rear surfaces as an extra safety
measure in order to prevent them from
causing damage to their surrounding in
case of a breakage.
