4Using your refrigerator
Dual protection
Hygiene : Odour filter in the air duct of
the fridge compartment helps to clean
the air in the refrigerator. This filter
reduces the formation of bad odours
by means of its coating.
Silver: Inner surfaces and crispers
of the refrigerator are rendered
antibacterial by means of the silver-
ion additive. Thus, growth and
reproduction of bacteria on interior
body parts and crisper are prevented.
Temperature setting button
Temperature setting button allows you
to make the temperature setting of
your refrigerator.
Setting the temperature of
your refrigerator
The overall temperature setting of
your refrigerator is made by means of
the temperature setting button on the
right wall of the fridge compartment.
This button has 5different temperature
setting position. Select the position
suitable to your needs.
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
then other refrigerators. Odours in the
compartments do not get mixed. Also
additional power saving is provided
since the automatic defrosting is
performed individually.

EN
11
Crisper humidity control
sliders
Using the crisper humidity control
sliders
Crisper of your refrigerator is designed
specially to keep your vegetables
freshly 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.
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.

EN
12
Sliding Body Shelves
• Sliding body shelves can be pulled
by slightly lifting up from the front and
moved back and forth. They come to
a stop point when pulled towards front
to allow you reach the foods placed at
the back of the shelf; when it is pulled
after slightly lifted upwards at the
second stop point, the body shelf will
be released.
The shelf should be hold tightly from
the bottom as well in order to prevent
it from tipping over. The body shelf is
placed on the rails at the sides of the
refrigerator body by bringing it to one
lower or one upper level.
The body shelf should be pushed
backwards to seat it completely.
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.
