Setting the temperature of your refrigerator

The overall temperature setting of your refrigerator is made by means of the temperature setting Control on the right wall of the fridge compartment.

This button has 5 different 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 than other refrigerators. Odours in the compartments do not get mixed. Also additional power saving is provided since the automatic defrosting is performed individually.

Silver: Inner surfaces and crispers

of the refrigerator are rendered antibacterial by means of the silverion additive. Thus, growth and reproduction of bacteria on interior body parts and crisper are prevented.

11

EN

Crisper humidity control sliders

Using the crisper humidity control sliders

The crisper of your refrigerator is designed to keep your vegetables fresh without loosing their humidity.

Cold air circulates 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

EN

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.
