5Using your refrigerator
Fridge compartment
temperature setting button
543
At regular room temperatures:
Set the temperature button to a
position between “2 and 3” to store
your food.
543
At high room temperatures:
Temperature button must be set to a
cooler position if the food is going to
be frozen or large amounts of food will
be loaded.
If the food in the fridge
compartment
cools too much or freezes,
temperature button must be set to
position “1”.
If the fridge compartment is colder
then the required 24 hours after the
initial startup, open the lower door
and turn the fridge compartment
temperature setting button towards to
the position “1” and if it is warmer then
the required, slightly turn it towards to
the position “5”.
Temperature button allows you to
make the general temperature setting
of your refrigerator.
Temperature button of the refrigerator
controls both the temperature
of the freezer compartment and
the amount of the air send to the
fridge compartment and thus,
the temperature of the fridge
compartment.

EN
15
Freezer compartment
temperature setting button
Freezer compartment setting button
can be set to a position between
Normal and Quick Freezing.
• In Normal position, the amount of the
air sent to the fridge compartment
reaches to maximum.
• In Quick Freezing position, the
amount of the air sent to the
freezer compartment reaches to
maximum. And the amount of the
air sent to the fridge compartment
decreases to minimum. In this
case, the temperature of the fridge
compartment will increase. This is
normal.
• If you do not need more cooling in
either of the compartments, leave the
setting button in Normal position.
• In cases where the room temperature
is high (25 °C and above), it is
suggested to set the freezer
compartment setting button to a
position near the Normal.
• In low room temperatures, it
is suggested to set the freezer
compartment setting button to a
position between the Normal and
Quick Freezing.

Explanations
-18°C 4°C This is the normal recommended setting.
-20,-22 or -24°C 4°C These settings are recommended when the ambient
temperature exceeds 30°C.
Quick Freeze 4°C
Use when you wish to freeze your food in a short
time. Your refrigerator will return to its previous mode
when the process is over.
-18°C or colder 2°C
If you think that your fridge compartment is not cold
enough because of the hot conditions or frequent
opening and closing of the door.
-18°C or colder Quick Fridge
You can use it when your fridge compartment is
overloaded or if you wish to cool down your food
rapidly. It is recommended that you activate quick
fridge function 4-8 hours before placing the food.
Freezing fresh food
• It must be preferred to 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Frozen food must be used
immediately after they are thawed
and they should never be re-frozen.
• 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. Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the cooling
system to operate continuously until
the food is frozen solid.
3. Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
Recommendations for
preservation of frozen food
• Prepacked commercially frozen
food should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer's
instructions for a ( 4 star)
frozen food storage compartment.
• To ensure that the high quality
achieved by the frozen food
manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained, the following should be
remembered:
1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2. Ensure that contents are labeled and
dated.
3. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best
Before" dates on the packaging.

drying even if they are going to be kept
for a short time.
Materials necessary for packaging:
• Cold resistant adhesive tape
• Self adhesive label
• Rubber rings
• Pen
Materials to be used for packaging
the foodstuff must be tear-proof and
resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils
and acids.

Crisper humidity control
sliders
Using the crisper humidity control
sliders
Crisper of your refrigerator is designed
specially to keep your vegetables fresh
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.
You can adjust the humidity control
sliders to a suitable position according
to the humidity and cooling condition
of your food in the crisper.
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.
Using the rotary crisper (in
some models)
The crisper of your refrigerator which
opens with a rotating movement is
designed specially to provide ease of
usage and allow you to store more
vegetables and fruits (large volume)
you buy during large shopping.
When you grab and pull the handle
on the lower left hand side of the
crisper, it will rotate from left to right
and open easily. The separator in the
crisper will allow you to separate the
vegetables and fruits according to their
types and prevent them from crushing.
Making ice
Fill the ice container with water and
place it into its seat. Your ice will be
ready approximately in two hours.
You can easily remove your ice by
slightly twisting the ice container.
