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.

Icematic and ice storage

container

Using the Icematic

* Fill the Icematic with water and place

it into its seat. Your ice will be ready

approximately in two hours. Do not

remove the Icematic from its seating to

take ice.

* Turn the knobs on it clockwise by 90

degrees.

Ice cubes in the cells will fall down into

the ice storage container below.

* You may take out the ice storage

container and serve the ice cubes.

* If you wish, you may keep the ice

cubes in the ice storage container.

Ice storage container

Ice storage container is only intended

for accumulating the ice cubes. Do not

put water in it. Otherwise, it will break.

Door Glasses

C Remove the protective foil on the glasses.

CThere is a coating on the surface of

the glasses. This coating minimizes

the stain build-up and helps to

remove the possible stains and dirt

easily. Glasses that are not protected

with such a coating may be subject

to persistent binding of air or water

based organic or inorganic dirt

such as limescale, mineral salts,

unburned hydrocarbons, metal

oxides and sliciones that can easily

and quickly cause stains or material

damage. Keeping the glass clean becomes too difficult despite the

regular cleaning. Consequently, the

appearance and the transparency

of the glass deteriorates. Harsh

and corrosive cleaning methods

and compounds will intensify

these defects and speed up the

deterioration process.

CWater-based cleaning products

that are not alkaline and corrosive

must be used for regular cleaning

purposes.

CNon-alkaline and non-corrosive

materials must be used for cleaning

so that the service life of this coating

lasts for a long time.

CThese glasses are tempered to

increase their durability against

impacts and breaking.

CA safety film is also applied to their

rear surfaces as an extra safety

measure in order to prevent them

from causing damage to their

surrounding in case of a breakage.

*Alkali is a base that forms hydroxide

ions (OH¯) when it is dissolved in

water.

Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (Potassium) Rb (Rubidium), Cs (Cesium) and artificial and radioactive Fr (Fan-sium)

metals are called ALKALI METALS.6Maintenance and cleaning

ANever use gasoline, benzene or

similar substances for cleaning

purposes.

BWe recommend that you unplug the

appliance before cleaning.

BNever use any sharp abrasive

instrument, soap, household

cleaner, detergent and wax polish for

cleaning.

C Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe

it dry.

C Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of

bicarbonate of soda to one pint of

water to clean the interior and wipe it

dry.

BMake sure that no water enters the

lamp housing and other electrical

items.

BIf your refrigerator is not going to be

used for a long period of time, unplug

the power cable, remove all food,

clean it and leave the door ajar.

CCheck door seals regularly to ensure

they are clean and free from food

particles.

ATo remove door racks, remove all the

contents and then simply push the

door rack upwards from the base.

Protection of plastic

surfaces

CDo not put the liquid oils or oil-

cooked meals in your refrigerator

in unsealed containers as they

damage the plastic surfaces of your

refrigerator. In case of spilling or

smearing oil on the plastic surfaces,

clean and rinse the relevant part of

the surface at once with warm water.

7Recommended solutions for the problems
