5.2. How to Freeze
Fresh Foods
• Foods to be frozen must be divided
into portions according to a size to
be consumed, and frozen in separate
packages. In this way, all the food
should be prevented from being re-
frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional value,
the aroma and the color 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.)
Cooking 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 durable 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 for use to freeze the food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil, plastic
foil, vacuum bags and cold-resistant
storage containers with caps.
The use of the following types of
packaging is not recommended to freeze
the food;
Packaging paper, parchment paper,
cellophane (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 immediately below the quick
freezer 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
consumed in a short period of time
after defrosting and must never be
frozen again.
• Do not block the ventilation holes by
putting your frozen foods in front of the
ventilation 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,
butter 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
thoroughly, the following specified

15 / 25 EN
Refrigerator/User Manual
Operating the product
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
following instructions:
1. Activate the quick freezing
function 30 hours before placing your
fresh foods.
2. 30 hours after pressing the
button, firstly place your food that
you want to freeze to the third drawer
from the bottom with higher freezing
capacity. If you have food remained,
place them in front of the second drawer
from the bottom.
3. The quick freezing function will be
automatically inactivated after 50 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 Capacity … kg/24 hours»
on its type label. It is not convenient to
put more unfrozen/fresh foods to the
freezer compartment than the quantity
specified on the label.
• You can review the Meat and Fish,
Vegetables and Fruits, Dairy Products
tables for placing and storing your
foods in the deep-freezer.
5.3. Recommendations
for Preservation of
Frozen Foods
• While purchasing your frozen foods,
make sure that they are frozen at
appropriate temperatures and their
packages are not broken.
• Put the packages on the freezer
compartment as soon as possible after
purchasing them.
• Make sure that the expiration date
indicated on the packaging is not
expired before consuming the
packaged ready meals that you remove
from the freezer compartment.
5.4. Defrosting
The ice in the freezer compartments is
automatically thawed.
5.5. Deep Freezer
Information
The EN 62552 standard requires
(according to specific measurement
conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of food for
each 100 liter of freezer compartment
volume can be frozen at a room
temperature of 25°C in 24 hours.
5.6. Defrosting the
frozen foods
Depending on the food diversity and
the purpose of use, a selection can be
made between the following options for
defrosting:
• At room temperature (it is not very
suitable 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

16 / 25 EN Refrigerator/User Manual
Operating the product
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
swelling 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 some spices in cooked meals
may change their taste when exposed
to long-term storage conditions, your
frozen foods should be less seasoned
or the desired spices should be added
to the foods after the thawing process.

6Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your fridge at regular intervals
will extend the service life of the pro-
duct.
BWARNING:
Unplug the product before cleaning it.
• Never use gasoline, benzene or
similar substances for cleaning
purposes.
• Never use any sharp and abrasive
tools, soap, household cleaners,
detergent and wax polish for
cleaning.
• For non-No Frost products,
water drops and frosting up to a
fingerbreadth occur on the rear wall
of the Fridge compartment. Do not
clean it; never apply oil or similar
agents on it.
• Only use slightly damp microfiber
cloths to clean the outer surface of
the product. Sponges and other types
of cleaning cloths may scratch the
surface
• Dissolve one teaspoon of bi-
carbonate in half litre of water. Soak
a cloth with the solution and wrung
it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the
refrigerator with this cloth and the
dry thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters the
lamp housing and other electrical
items.
• If you will not use the refrigerator
for a long period of time, unplug it,
remove all food inside, clean it and
leave the door ajar.
• Check regularly that the door gaskets
are clean. If not, clean them.
• To remove door and body shelves,
remove all of its contents.
• Remove the door shelves by pulling
them up. After cleaning, slide them
from top to bottom to install.
• Never use cleaning agents or water
that contain chlorine to clean the
outer surfaces and chromium coated
parts of the product. Chlorine causes
corrosion on such metal surfaces.
6.1 Avoiding bad odours
• Materials that may cause odour
are not used in the production of
our refrigerators. However, due
to inappropriate food preserving
conditions and not cleaning the inner
surface of the refrigerator as required
can bring forth the problem of odour.
Pay attention to following to avoid
this problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean is
important. Food residuals, stains, etc.
can cause odour. Therefore, clean
the refrigerator with bi-carbonate
dissolved in water every few months.
Never use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from
uncovered containers can cause
unpleasant odours.
• Never keep the food that have passed
best before dates and spoiled in the
refrigerator.
6.2 Protecting the plas-
tic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals
in your refrigerator in unsealed contai-
ners as they damage the plastic surfaces
of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or sme-
ared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and
rinse the relevant part of the surface at
once with warm water.
