Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
You can stop operation of your
device by adjusting the thermostat
knob to “0” position.
Please note that there will be
different temperatures in the cooling
area.
The coldest region is immediately
above the vegetable compartment.
The interior temperature also
depends on ambient temperature,
the frequency with which the door is
opened and the amount of foods kept
inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
Using interior compartments
Freezer compartment : Food that
should be frozen and stored is placed
in this compartment.
Body shelves: Distance between
the shelves can be adjusted when
necessary.
Crisper: Vegetables and fruits can be
stored in this compartment for long
periods without decaying.
Bottle shelf: Bottles, jars and tins can
be placed in these shelves.
Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the
short-term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
