Refrigerator Compartment
The refrigerator compartment is used for storing
fresh food for a few days.
• To prevent humidification and odor formation,
the food should be placed in the refrigerator
in closed or covered containers.
• Hot foods and drinks should be cooled to
room temperatures before being placed in the
refrigerator.
• Please do not prop packaged food and
containers against the lamp or cover of the
cooling compartment.
• Fruits and vegetables may be placed directly
in the vegetable holder without being
wrapped separately.
• Some recommendations have been
specified below for the placement and
storage of your food in the cooling
compartment.
reezer Compartment
The freezer compartment is used for freezing
fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the
period of time indicated on packaging, and for
making ice cubes.
• Use the deep freeze compartment of your
refrigerator for storing the frozen food for a
long time and for producing ice.
• Place the food you would like to freeze
initially in the upper basket of the deep freeze
section in such a way that it shall not exceed
the declared freezing capacity of your
refrigerator. You may place your food next to
the other frozen foods after they are frozen
(for at least 24 hours).
• It is recommended to keep thermostat set at
level 5.
• It is recommended that the food which is
being newly frozen be kept separate from the
already frozen food.
• Foods should be frozen in single portion
sized containers.
• Do not refreeze the frozen food once it is
thawed. It may pose a danger to your health
as it might cause problems like food
poisoning.
• Do not place hot meals in your deep freeze
until they cool down. You could cause the
other food frozen beforehand in the deep
freeze compartment to become spoiled.
• As you buy frozen food, make sure it was
frozen under appropriate conditions and that
the packaging is not torn.
• While storing frozen food, the storage
conditions on the package should certainly
be observed. If there are no instructions, the
food has to be consumed in the shortest
possible period of time.
• Frozen food has to be transported before it
thaws and it should be placed in the fast
freezing shelf as soon as possible. Please
do not use the door shelves for fast freezing
purposes.
• The storage durations of frozen food change
depending on the environmental
temperatures, the frequent opening and
closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food
types, and the period of time that elapsed
from when the food was acquired to the time
it entered the freezer. Always abide by the
instructions on the package and never
exceed the storage duration.
• During extended power outages, please do
not open the door of the deep freeze
compartment. Your refrigerator will preserve
your frozen food in the ambient environmental
temperature of 25°C for about 12 hours. This
preservation time period decreases the
higher the ambient environmental
temperatures are. During longer lasting
power cuts, you should not refreeze your
food.
