5.14. Humidity controlled crisper
(FreSHelf)
(This feature is optional)
Humidity rates of the vegetables and fruit are kept under control with the feature of humidity-controlled crisper and the food is ensured to stay fresh for longer.
We recommend you to place the leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and the vegetables which are sensitive to humidity loss, in a horizontal manner as much as possible inside the crisper, not on their roots in a vertical position.
While the vegetables are being placed, specific gravity of the vegetables should be taken into consideration.
Heavy and hard vegetables should be put at the bottom of the crisper and the lightweight and soft vegetables should be placed over.
Never leave the vegetables inside the crisper in their bags. If the vegetables are left inside their bags, this will cause them to decompose in a short period of time. In case contacting with other vegetables is not preferred for hygiene concerns, use a perforated paper and other similar packaging materials instead of a bag.
Do not place together the pear, apricot, peach, etc. and apple in particular which have a high level of generation of ethylene gas in the same crisper with the other vegetables and fruit.
The ethylene gas which is emitted by these fruit may cause the other fruit to ripen faster and decompose in a shorter time.

To remove door and body shelves, remove all of its contents. Remove door shelves by moving them upwards. After cleaning, slide them from top to bottom to install.
•
Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the outer surfaces and chromium coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes corrosion on such metal surfaces.
6.1. Avoiding bad odors
Materials that may cause odor are not used in the production of our appliances.
However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of the appliance as required can bring forth the problem of odor.
Therefore, clean the refrigerator with carbonate dissolved in water every 15 days.
•
Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odors.
•
Never keep the food that have expired best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.
6.2. Protecting the plastic surfaces
Clean with arm water immediately as the oil may cause damage on the surface when it is poured on plastic surfaces.
6.3. Door Glasses
Remove the protective foil on the glasses.
There 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 silicones 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.
Water-based cleaning products that are not alkaline and corrosive must be used for regular cleaning purposes.
Non-alkaline and non-corrosive materials must be used for cleaning so that the service life of this coating lasts for a long time.
