*optional
It is normal for the first few glasses of
water taken from the dispenser to be
warm.
If the water dispenser is not used for
a long period of time, dispose of first few
glasses of water to obtain fresh water.
1. Push in the lever of the water
dispenser with your glass. If you are
using a soft plastic cup, pushing the lever
with your hand will be easier.
2. After filling the cup up to the level you
want, release the lever.
Please note, how much water flows
from the dispenser depends on how far
you depress the lever. As the level of
water in your cup / glass rises, gently
reduce the amount of pressure on the
lever to avoid overflow.
If you slightly press the arm, the water
will drip; this is quite normal and not a
failure.
Filling the water dispenser's tank
Water tank filling reservoir is located
inside the door rack.
1. Open the cover of the tank.
2. Fill the tank with fresh drinking water.
3. Close the cover.
Do not fill the water tank with any
other liquid except for water such as fruit
juices, carbonated beverages or
alcoholic drinks which are not suitable to
use in the water dispenser. Water
dispenser will be irreparably damaged if
these kinds of liquids are used. Warranty
does not cover such usages.
Some chemical substances and
additives contained in these kinds of
drinks/liquids may damage the water
tank.

4. Maximum frozen food storage
volume is achieved without using the
drawers provided in the freezer
compartment. Energy consumption of
your appliance is declared while the
freezer compartment is fully loaded on
shelves without the use of the
drawers.
5. It is recommended that you place
foodstuffs on top shelf of freezer for
initial freezing.
Dual cooling system
Your refrigerator is equipped with
two separate cooling systems to cool
the fresh food compartment and
freezer compartment. Thus, air in the
fresh food compartment and freezer
compartment do not get mixed.
Thanks to these two separate cooling
systems, cooling speed is much higher
than other refrigerators. Odors in the
compartments do not get mixed. Also
additional power saving is provided
since the defrosting is performed
individually.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with
water and place it in the Ice Bank.
Loosen frozen trays with the handle of
a spoon, never use sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks. Store
ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are
not consumed for several weeks and
stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly
reduce in size and eventually
disappear completely.
Freezing fresh food
 Wrap or cover the food before
placing them in the refrigerator.
 Hot food must cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in the
refrigerator.
 The foodstuff that you want to freeze
must be fresh and in good quality.
 Foodstuff must be divided into
portions according to the family’s daily
or meal based consumption needs.
 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.
 Materials to be used for packagings
must be resistant to cold and humidity
and they must be airtight. The
packaging material of the food must
be at a sufficient thickness and
durability. Otherwise the food
hardened due to freezing may
puncture the packaging. It is important
for the packaging to be closed
securely for safe storage of the food.
 Frozen food must be used
immediately after they are thawed and
they should never be re-frozen.
 Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the cooling
system to operate continuously until
the food is frozen solid.
 Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
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.
2. Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
3. Make sure raw foods are not in
contact with cooked foods in the
fridge.

DO'S AND DON'TS
Don't-Store bananas in your fridge compartment.
Don't-Store melon in your fridge. It can be chilled for short periods as long as it is
wrapped to prevent it flavouring other food.
Don't-Cover the shelves with any protective materials which may obstruct air
circulation.
Don't-Store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your appliance. It has been
designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
Don't-Consume food which has been stored for an excessive length of time.
Don't-Store cooked and fresh food together in the same container. They should be
packaged and stored separately.
Don't-Let defrosting food or food juices drip onto food.
Don't-Leave the door open for long periods, as this will make the appliance more
costly to run and cause excessive ice formation.
Don't-Use sharp edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice.
Don't-Put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down first.
Don't-Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into the
freezer, as they may burst.
Don't-Exceed the maximum freezing loads (4 kg in any 24 hours) when freezing fresh
food.
Don't-Give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer. The low
temperature may cause 'freezer burns' on lips.
Don't-Freeze fizzy drinks.
Don't-Try to keep frozen food which has thawed; it should be eaten within 24 hours or
cooked and refrozen.
Don't-Remove items from the freezer with wet hands.
Don't- Close the freezer door before placing the compartment cover in its place.
Don't- Leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost food is
to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food
juices drip onto other food.
