tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, oils
and acids and they must also be airtight. All
packaging must be completely sealed.
• Frozen food must be used immediately after
they are thawed and they should never be re-
frozen.
• Do not freeze excessively large quantities of
food at one time.The quality of the food is best
preserved when it is frozen right through to the
core as quickly as possible.
• Placing warm food into the freezer compartment
causes the cooling system to operate
continuously until the food is frozen solid.
6.6 Recommendations for
preserving frozen food

Crisper bins allow you to prepare the food for
freezing. You can also use these compartments to
store your food at a temperature a few degrees
below the fridge compartment.
You can increase the inner volume of your

6.14 Humidity controlled crisper
Humidity levels of the vegetables and fruit are
kept under control with the feature of humidity-
controlled crisper and the food is ensured to stay
fresh longer.
We recommend you to place the leafy vegetables
such as lettuce, spinach and the vegetables which
are sensitive to humidity loss, in a horizontal
manner as much as possible inside the crisper, not
on their roots in a vertical position.
While the vegetables are being placed, individual
weights 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
on top.
Never leave vegetables inside the crisper in
their bags. This will cause them to decompose
prematuraly. If you wish to keep vegetables
separate, use perforated paper bags or similar
materials to do so. Certain fruits such as pears,
apricots, peaches or apples generate high levels of
ethylene gas. Do not place them with other fruits
and vegetables which do not, as this will cause
them to decompose faster.
6.15 Ice container
The ice container is used to collect ice produced
by the ice maker. Do not put water in it to make ice
as it may break. The ice container is not used for
storing foods.

7.1 Avoiding bad odors
Materials that may cause odor are not used in the
production of our refrigerators. However, due to
inappropriate food preserving conditions and not
cleaning the inner surface of the refrigerator as
required can bring forth the problem of odor . Pay
attention to following to avoid this problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean is important.
Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odor .
Therefore, clean the refrigerator with baking
soda dissolved in water every 15 days. Never
use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered
containers can cause unpleasant odors.
• Never keep the food that is past its expiration
date or has spoiled in the refrigerator.
7.2 Protecting the plastic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your
refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage
the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is
spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean
and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once
with warm water.
