sparkling drinks inside your freezer.

least 24 hours before loading the fresh foods. Do not open the upper
lid for 24 hours.
Attention! Do not open the upper lid not to cause heat loss in case
of any long-term power interruptions.
PACKAGING THE FOOD
1. Place the foods in the package.
2. Evacuate the air inside by pressing down.
3. Shut the package tightly.
4. Check if there is any leakage around the package.
5. Write the content and date information down the package.
Remember to operate your chest freezer at least for twenty four (24)
hours unloaded and on quick freezing position before loading the foods.
Switch the thermostat arrow to SUPER position on A++ products and
to MAX position on A+ products. Make the loading after 24 hours.
Your A++ refrigerator will return to its normal operation period after
a certain while. And on A+ refrigerator, switch the thermostat arrow
to FREEZER position after 24 hours. In this way your refrigerator will
return to its normal operation period. Pack your foods up in a way
that no leakage will emerge before placing inside your chest freezer.
Otherwise the foods will lose their taste and become dry. Pack your
foods with suitable packing materials such as aluminium foil, locker
bag, plastic container and etc.
Pack the foods by separating them in portions according to your daily
or meal-based needs.
17

The temperature of the foods must not be higher than the ambient
temperature. If it is too hot, then ensure them to lose the temperature
in a convenient environment. Each package must be labelled (freezing
time, content, etc.).
Unsuitable Packages
Wrapping paper, newspaper, cellophane, bin bags, shopping bags,
glass or metal-lidded containers, metal container with cutting and
piercing features, wooden palettes.
Pay attention for the fresh foods not to contact the older foods. When
the hot foods contact the older frozen foods, this may cause melting.
Therefore, take the older frozen foods to the side of the freezer or to
the storage section.
PLACING THE FOOD
Purchase the frozen foods at the end of shopping and wrap them to
sustain the temperature degrees.
If there is a significant increase in the temperature degree of the
packaged frozen foods (e.g. if the power is interrupted or the lid is kept
open for a long time) take the expiry date indicated on the package
short.
Follow the instructions on the frozen food packages. If there is no
remark made for the duration, do not keep it for more than 3 months.
Do not re-freeze the foods that have just thawed or partially melted
and consume within 24 hours.
If you load the foods to the freezer without package, improperly,
with the packages that lead liquid leakages, the liquid leaking from
the foods can cause corrosion on the metal parts of your freezer, gas
leakages on the pipes, yellowing, cracking, non-hygienic conditions,
smell formation on the plastic sections and lead the micro-organisms
to reproduce and accordingly threaten your health.
Attention! Load the foods that you wish to cool on Fridge position
in a way that there will be spaces of 1.5 - 2cm by the side walls of
the freezer. So the air circulation is ensured and the foods are kept
18

homogeneously. If the foods contact the side walls of the freezer, then
cases like frosting, tarnishing, etc. may occur.
Freezing the cooked foods
• You can put the home-cooked of fried foods inside your chest
freezer. However please do not put the foods that are not fully frozen
such as egg, potato and macaroni inside the chest freezer. Add them
to your frozen foods later.
• Some certain foods to be put inside the freezer should slightly be
cooked and spiced if suitable.
• Place the foods that are eaten cold such as cake and milk puddings
after they are cooked.
• You can also put the foods without cooking them after you prepare
and separately pack them.
Defrosting the Frozen Foods
You can use one of the methods to defrost the foods you have taken
out of the freezer depending on the type and purpose.
1. At ambient temperature
2. In microwave oven
3. Hot air space / In electric oven without fan
4. In refrigerator
NOTE: Your frozen foods may not be in the same consistency and
integrity after being frozen. Never re-freeze the foods that you have
defrosted.
SWITCHING THE PRODUCT OFF
• Take the frozen foods inside your product to anywhere you may
like.
• Remove the product from the wall-socket.
• If you will not be using your product for a long time, perform the
following steps; clean and dry the product. Otherwise, the humidity
left on the walls of the product may cause frost deposit on inner
surface.
19

WARNING: If the product will be stored in a closed environment
after switching off, do not cover it with plastic covers. Since plastic
does not take the air, this may cause your product to smell and sweat.
As a result of sweating there is a possibility of corrosion. In the cases
where you do not store your product with its lid kept open, there may
be smell formation inside.
