ENERGY SAVING TIPS  
1- Ensure your appliance is installed in a  
well ventilated area.  
2- Ensure the time between buying  
chilled/frozen food and placing them in  
your appliance is kept to a minimum,  
particularly in summer. We recommend  
you use a cool bag or a special carrier  
bag to carry frozen food.  
3- Do not leave the door (s) of your  
appliance open longer than necessary  
and ensure they are closed properly after  
each opening.  
4- Defrost frozen food in the fridge  
compartment, so that frozen food acts  
as an ice pack to assist cooling in the  
fridge.

instructions to obtain the best results.  
The foodstuff must be packaged in an  
airtight manner to prevent them from  
drying even if they are going to be kept  
for a short time.  
1. Do not freeze too 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.  
Materials to be used for packaging  
must be tear-proof and resistant to  
cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids and  
they must also be airtight. Moreover,  
they must be well closed and they must  
be made from easy-to-use materials  
that are suitable for deep freeze usage.  
2. Placing warm food into the freezer  
compartment causes the cooling  
system to operate continuously until the  
food is frozen solid.

WARNING! A  
Deep-freeze information  
• Foodstuff must be divided into portions  
according to the familys daily or meal  
based consumption needs.  
Food must be frozen as rapidly as  
possible when they are put in a  
refrigerator in order to keep them in  
good quality.  
• Foodstuff must be packaged in an  
airtight manner to prevent them from  
drying even if they are going to be kept  
for a short time.  
The TSE norm requires (according to  
certain measurement conditions) the  
refrigerator to freeze at least 4.5 kg of  
foodstuff at 32°C ambient temperature  
to -18°C or lower within 24 hours for  
every 100-liters of freezer volume.

(in some models)  
The shelf should be hold tightly from the  
bottom as well in order to prevent it from  
tipping over. The body shelf is placed on  
the rails at the sides of the refrigerator  
body by bringing it to one lower or one  
upper level.  
Air is ionized by means of the ionizer  
system in the fridge compartment air  
duct. Thanks to this system, air-borne

Chiller compartment  
Crisper humidity control  
sliders  
If you wish to use the storage  
container under the shelf as the Chiller  
compartment, the storage container  
under the shelf should be placed as  
shown in the picture.  
Crisper of your refrigerator is designed  
specially to keep your vegetables freshly  
without loosing their humidity. Cold air  
circulates basically around the crisper  
and the amount of the cold air passing  
through the crisper is controlled by the  
sliders on the front side of the crisper  
cover.  
Chiller compartments enable the foods  
to be frozen become ready for freezing.  
You can also use these compartments to  
store your food at a temperature a few  
degrees below the fridge compartment.  
You can adjust the humidity control  
sliders to a suitable position according  
to the humidity and cooling condition of  
your food in the crisper.  
You can increase the inner volume of  
your refrigerator by removing any of  
the chiller compartments. To do this,  
pull the compartment towards yourself;  
the compartment will lean against the  
stopper and stop. This compartment will  
be released when you lift it about 1 cm  
and pull it towards yourself.  
If you want your food in the crisper  
to cool more, open the holes of the  
humidity control sliders and if you want  
them to cool less and keep their humidity  
for a longer time, close the holes.
