shall freeze at least 4.5 kg of food at 25°C
ambient temperature to -18°C or lower within 24
hours for every 100-litres of freezer volume.

only at -18°C or lower temperatures.
Youcankeepthefreshnessoffoodformany
months (at -18°C or lower temperatures in the
deep freeze).
Foods to be frozen should not be allowed to come
in contact with the previously frozen items to
prevent them from getting thawed partially.
Boil the vegetables and drain their water in order
to store vegetables for a longer time as frozen.
After draining their water, put them in air-proof
packages and place them inside the freezer. Food
such as bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled
eggs, potatoes are not suitable for freezing. When
these foods are frozen, only their nutritional value
and taste shall be affected negatively. They shall
not be spoiled so that they would create a risk for
human health.

5.7 Door open warning
(This feature is optional)
The door open alert system of your refrigerator
may differ depending on the model.
Version 1;
If the door of the product remains open for a
certain time (between 60 s and 120 s), an audio
warning signal sounds; depending on the product
model, a visual warning signal (light flash) can also
be displayed. If you close the door of the device or
press a button on the screen of the device, if any,
the warning sound will stop.
Version 2;
If the door of the device remains open for a certain
period of time (between 60 s and 120 s), the
door open alert is sounded. The door open alert is
sounded gradually. First, an audible warning starts
to sound. After 4 minutes, if the door is still not
closed, a visual warning (lighting flash) is activated.
The door open alert will be delayed for a certain
period of time (between 60 s and 120 s) when any
key on the product screen, if any, is pressed. Then
the process will start again. When the device door
is closed, the door open alert will be cancelled.
5.8 Crisper
Crisper of the refrigerator is designed specially
to keep the vegetables fresh without loosing their
humidity. For this purpose, cool air circulation is
intensified around the crisper in general. Remove
the door shelves that stand against the crisper
before removing the crisper.
5.9 Humidity-controlled crisper
Humidity rates of fruits and vegetables are kept
under control thanks to the humidity-controlled
crisper and thus the food is ensured to stay fresh for
a longer period.
We recommend that you place leafy vegetables such
as lettuce and spinach and vegetables sensitive to
humidity loss as horizontally as possible when put
-
ting them in the crisper; not in a horizontal position
on their roots.
While the vegetables are being replaced, their
specific weights should be taken into consideration.
Heavy and hard vegetables must be placed at the
bottom of the crisper and light and soft vegetables
must be on the upper part.
Never leave the vegetables in their plastic bags in
the crisper. If they are left in their plastic bags, this
will cause them to rot in a little while. If you not
prefer the vegetable to get in contact with other veg
-
etables for hygienic reasons, use perforated paper or
a similar material instead of plastic bags.
background
23 / 37 EN
Refrigerator / User Manual
Operating the product
Do not place pears, apricots, peaches etc., especially
those fruits that generate large amounts of ethylene,
in the same crisper with other fruits and vegetables.
The ethylene gas emitted by these fruits cause other
fruits to ripen sooner and to rot in a
shorter span of
time.

the cold air inside your refrigerator from escaping
outside.
1- Sealing is provided when the gaskets on the
door presses on the surface of the movable middle
section while the fridge compartment doors are
closed.
2- Another reason that your refrigerator is
equipped with a movable middle section is that it
increases the net volume of the fridge compart-
ment. Standard middle sections occupy some
non-usable volume in the refrigerator.
3-Movable middle section is closed when the left
door of the fridge compartment is opened.
4-It must not be opened manually. It moves under
the guidance of the plastic part on the body while
the door is closed.
5.12 Cool Control Storage
Compartment
*May not be available in all models

Cool Control Storage Compartment's Temperature
Setting Button. The temperature of the Cool
Control Storage Compartment may be set to 0 and
10 degrees in addition to the fridge compartment
temperatures and to -6 degrees in addition to the
freezer compartment temperatures. 0 degree is used
to store the deli products longer, and -6 degrees is
used to keep the meats up to 2 weeks in an easily
sliceable condition.
The feature of switching to a Fridge or Freezer
compartment is provided by a cooling element
located in the closed section (Compressor
Compartment) behind the refrigerator. During
operation of this element, sounds similar to the
sound of seconds heard from an analogue clock may
be heard. This is normal and is not fault cause.
5.13 Blue light/VitaminCare+
*May not be available in all models
For the blue light,
Fruits and vegetables stored in the crispers that are
illuminated with a blue light continue their photosyn-
thesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light
and thus preserve their vitamin content.
ForVitaminCare+,
Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated
with the VitaminCare technology preserve their
vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green,
red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day
cycle.
If you open the door of the refrigerator during the
dark period of the VitaminCare technology, the
refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable
the blue-green or red light to illuminate the crisper
for your convenience. After you have closed the door
of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue,
representing the night time in a day cycle.

(5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4
gal. (15L) has been dispensed. This will flush air
from the filter and water dispensing system, and
prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing
may be required in some households. As air is
cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down
and chill water. Dispense enough water every week
to maintain a fresh supply.
C
After 5 minutes of continuous
dispensing, the dispenser will stop
dispensing water to avoid flooding.
To continue dispensing, press the

5.17 For using water dispenser
A
Before using your fridge first time and
after replacing your water filter, water
dispenser may drip drops of water. To
prevent water dripping or leaking from
dispenser, please bleed the air from
the system by dispensing 5-6 gallons
(about 20 liter) of water through the
water dispenser before the first use
and every time after you change
the water filter. This will remove any
air trapped in the system and stop
the water dispenser from leaking.
Checking coupler position and the
straightness of water line at the back
of the unit will be required if there’s an
obstruction in water flow.
C
If your water dispenser is leaking just a few
drops of water after you have dispensed some
water, this is normal.
5.18 Icematic
(in some models)
To get ice from the icematic, fill the water tank
in the fridge compartment with water up to the
maximum level.
Ice cubes in the ice drawer may stick to each
other and become a bulk due to hot and humid
air in approximately 15 days. This is normal. If you
cannot break the bulk apart, you can empty the ice
container and make ice again.
C
It is recommended to change the water
in the water tank if it remains in the
water tank for more then 2-3 weeks.
C
Strange noises you hear from the refrig-
erator at 120-minute intervals are the
sounds of ice-making and pouring. This
is normal.
C
If you do not want to make ice, press the Ice
off icon to stop the icematic to save energy
and prolong the service life of your refrigerator.
C
It is normal that a few drops of water drop
from the dispenser after you have taken water.
