5.1 What To Do For Energy Saving
Connecting the product to elec-
tronic energy-saving systems is
harmful, as it may damage the
product.
• This refrigerating appliance is not inten-
ded to be used as a built in appliance.
• 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.
• Since hot and humid air will not directly
penetrate into your product when the
doors are not opened, your product will
optimize itself in conditions sufficient to
protect your food. Under these circum-
stances, functions and components such
as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, light-
ing, display and so on will operate ac-
cording to the needs by consuming min-
imum energy.
• In case that multiple options are present,
glass shelves must be placed so that the
air outlets at the rear wall are not blocked
and preferably, in a way that air outlets
remain below the glass shelf. This com-
bination may help improving air distribu-
tion and energy efficiency.
• Using the below drawer when storing is
strongly recommended.
• Depending on the product’s features; de-
frosting frozen foods in the cooler com-
partment will ensure energy saving and
preserve food quality.
• In order to load the maximum quantity of
food into the freezer compartment of
your refrigerator, the upper drawers may
be taken out and the food should be
placed onto the wire/glass shelves.
• Food shall be stored using the drawers in
the cooler compartment in order to en-
sure energy saving and protect food in
better conditions.
• Food packages shall not be in direct con-
tact with the temperature sensor located
in the freezer compartment.
5.2 First Use
Before using your refrigerator, make sure
the necessary preparations are made in line
with the instructions in "Safety and Environ-
mental Instructions" and "Installation" sec-
tions.
• Keep the product running without placing
any food inside for 6 hours and do not
open the door, unless absolutely neces-
sary.
• The temperature change caused by open-
ing and closing of the door while using
the product may normally lead to con-
densation on door/body shelves and
glassware placed in the product.
A sound will be heard when the
compressor is engaged. It is nor-
mal for the product to make noise
even if the compressor is not run-
ning, as fluid and gas may be com-
pressed in the cooling system.
It is normal for the front edges of
the refrigerator to be warm. These
areas are designed to warm up in
order to prevent condensation.
For some models, indicator panel
turns off automatically 1 minute
after the door closes. It will be re-
activated when the door is opened
or any button is pressed.

7.2 Freezing Fresh Foods
• Foods to be frozen must be divided into
portions according to a size to be con-
sumed, and frozen in separate packages.
In this way, all the food should be preven-
ted from being re-frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional value,
the aroma and the colour of the foods as
much as possible, vegetables should be
boiled for a short period of time before
freezing. (Boiling is not necessary for
foods such as cucumber, parsley.) Cook-
ing time of the vegetables frozen in this
way is shortened by 1/3 than that of the
fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of frozen
foods, boiled vegetables must first be
filtered and then hermetically packaged
as in the all types of foods.
• Foods should not be placed in the freezer
compartment without package.
• The packaging material of the food to be
stored should be air-tight, thick and dur-
able and should not deform with cold and
humidity. Otherwise, the food that is
hardened by freezing might pierce the
package. Sealing the package well is also
important in terms of securely storing the
food.
The Following Packaging Types Are
Suitable to Freeze Food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminium foil, plastic
foil, vacuum bags and cold-resistant stor-
age containers with caps.
EN / 19
The Use of Following Types of Pack-
aging Is Not Recommended to Freeze
Food:
Packaging paper, parchment paper, cello-
phane (gelatin paper), garbage bag, used
bags and shopping bags.
• Hot foods should not be placed in the
freezer compartment without cooling.
• When placing unfrozen fresh foods in the
freezer compartment, please note that it
does not contact with frozen foods. Cool-
pack (PCM) can be placed to the rack im-
mediately below the quick freezing rack
for preventing them from being getting
warm.
• During the freezing time (24 hours) do
not place other food to the freezer.
• Place your foods to the freezing shelves
or racks by spreading them so that they
will not be cramped (it is recommended
that the packaging does not come into
contact with each other).
• Frozen foods must be immediately con-
sumed in a short period of time after de-
frosting and must never be frozen again.
• Do not block the ventilation holes by put-
ting your frozen foods in front of the vent-
ilation holes located on the back surface.
• We recommend you to attach a label
onto the package and write the name of
the foods in the package and the freezing
time.
Foods Suitable for Freezing:
Fish and seafood, red and white meat,
poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbaceous
spices, dairy products (such as cheese, but-
ter and strained yoghurt), pastries, ready or
cooked meals, potato dishes, souffle and
desserts.
Foods Not Suitable for Freezing:
Yoghurt, sour milk, cream, mayonnaise,
leaved salad, red radish, grapes, all fruits
(such as apple, pears and peaches).
• For foods to be frozen quickly and thor-
oughly, the following specified amounts
per package should not be exceeded.
– Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg
– Meat, 1-1.5 kg
• A small amount of foods (maximum 2
kg) can also be frozen without the use of
the quick freezing function.
To obtain the best result, apply the follow-
ing instructions:
1. Activate the quick freezing function 24
hours before placing your fresh foods.
2. 24 hours after you have pressed the
button, first place your food that you
want to freeze to the top shelf with
higher freezing capacity. Place your re-
maining food, if any, to the rightmost
part of the second shelf.
3. The quick freezing function will be
automatically deactivated after 52
hours.
4. Do not try to freeze a large quantity of
food at a time. Within 24 hours, this
product can freeze the maximum food
quantity specified as «Freezing Capa-
city … kg/24 hours» on its type label. It
is not convenient to put more un-
frozen/fresh foods to the freezer com-
partment than the quantity specified on
the label.
1. Switch the adjusting knob to MAX or 5
position 24 hours before placing your
fresh foods to freeze.
2. 24 hours after turning the thermostat
knob, place your food that you want to
freeze to the front of bottom drawer
with higher freezing capacity. If you
have food remained, place it in front of
the upper drawer.
3. Do not forget to turn the thermostat
knob to its previous position, after pla-
cing your food.
4. Do not try to freeze a large quantity of
food at a time. Within 24 hours, this
product can freeze the maximum food
quantity specified as «Freezing Capa-
city … kg/24 hours» on its type label. It
is not convenient to put more un-
frozen/fresh foods to the freezer com-
partment than the quantity specified on
the label.

• You can review the Meat and Fish, Veget-
ables and Fruits, Dairy Products tables
for placing and storing your foods in the
deep-freezer.
Advice on Storing Frozen Foods
• While purchasing your frozen foods,
make sure that they are frozen at appro-
priate temperatures and their packages
are not broken.
• Put the packages in the freezer compart-
ment as soon as possible after purchas-
ing them.
• Make sure that the expiration date indic-
ated on the packaging is not expired be-
fore consuming the packaged ready
meals that you remove from the freezer
compartment.
Defrosting
The ice in the freezer compartments is
automatically thawed.
Freezer Details
The EN 62552 standard requires (according
to specific measurement conditions) that
at least 4.5 kg of food for each 100 litres of
freezer compartment volume can be frozen
at 25 °C ambient temperature in 24 hours.
Defrosting the Frozen Foods
Depending on the food diversity and the
purpose of use, a selection can be made
between the following options for defrost-
ing:
• At room temperature (it is not very suit-
able to defrost the food by leaving it at
room temperature for a long time in
terms of maintaining the food quality)
• In the refrigerator
• In the electrical oven (in models with or
without fan)
• In the microwave oven
CAUTION!
• Never put acidic beverages in glass
bottles and cans into your freezer due to
the risk of explosion.
• If there is moisture and abnormal swell-
ing in the packaging of frozen foods, it is
likely that they were previously stored in
an improper storage condition and their
contents deteriorated. Do not consume
these foods without checking.
• Since the taste of some spices in cooked
meals may change when exposed to
long-term storage conditions, you must
add lesser amount of spices to your
foods to be frozen or the desired spices
should be added to the foods after the
thawing process.
Recommended Temperature Settings

used for protecting the quality of your fresh foods. There is no need for you to
use the quick freezing function when storing your frozen foods. There is no need
for you to use the quick freezing function to freeze the small amounts of fresh
food up to a maximum of 2 kg daily.
