Operating your fridge
• For normal operating conditions, adjusting the temperature value of the cooler partition of the fridge
to 4°C will be enough.
• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed containers
in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time will
require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room
temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on the back
wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in
1-2 days,in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment(that is above the crisper) as this is
the coldest section and will ensure the best storing conditions.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the
cooling compartment.

Freezer compartment
• For normal operating conditions, a• Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator
for storing the frozen food for a long time and for producing ice.
• To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for upper and
middle section. For bottom section, please use lower basket.
• Please do not place the food you shall newly freeze nearby the already frozen food.
• You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.) by dividing them into
portions in such a way that they can be consumed once.
• Please do not refreeze the frozen food once they are thawed. It may pose a danger for your health
since it might cause problems such as food poisoning.
• Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You would cause the
other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze to become putrefied.
• When you buy frozen food, makes sure that they were frozen under appropriate conditions and the
package is not torn.
• While storing the frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed.
If there is not any explanation, the food must be consumed within the shortest time possible.
