5.13. Moisture

controlled

vegetable bin

(Optonal)

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

(Optonal)

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

the cooler compartment, fill it with

water and fix it back.

First ice will be ready in about 2 hours

in the ice machine drawer in the

cooler compartment.

After placing the full water tank, you

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.

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.

5.18. 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

6.3. Door Glasses

Remove the protective foil on the

Keeping the glass clean becomes too

difficult despite the regular cleaning.
