Energy saving tips
1. Ensure your appliance is installed in a
well ventilated area.
2. Ensure the time between buying
chilled/frozen food and placing
them in your appliance is kept at
minimum, particularly in summer. We
recommend you use a cool bag or a
special carrier bag to carry perishable
food.
3. Do not leave the door (s) of your
appliance open longer than
necessary and ensure they are closed
properly after each opening.
4. Defrost frozen food in the fridge
compartment, so that frozen food
acts as an ice pack to assist cooling
in the fridge.
5. Energy consumption of this
appliance is measured while freezer
compartment is loaded without
use of top shelf lid and the drawers
except the bottom drawer. It is
advised that freezer compartment is
loaded without use of drawers except

Rotating Middle Section
Rotating middle section is intended
to prevent the cold air inside your
refrigerator from escaping outside.
1- Sealing is provided when the
gaskets on the door presses on the
surface of the rotating middle section
while the fridge compartment doors
are closed.
2- Another reason that your refrigerator
is equipped with a rotating middle
section is that it increases the net
volume of the fridge compartment.
Standard middle sections occupy
some non-usable volume in the
refrigerator.
3- Rotating middle section is closed
when the left door of the fridge
compartment is closed.
4- It must not be opened manually.
It moves under the guidance of the
plastic part on the body while the door
is closed.
Blue light
Foodstuff stored in the crispers that
are enlightened with a blue light
continue their photosynthesis by
means of the wavelength effect of blue
light and helps preserve their freshness
and increase their vitamin content.
