5.1 What to Do for Energy Saving
Connecting the product to electronic
energy-saving systems is harmful, as
it may damage the product.
This refrigerating appliance is not intended
to be used as a built in appliance.
Do not keep the refrigerator doors open
for long periods.
Do not place hot food or beverages into
the refrigerator.
Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the
internal air flow will reduce cooling capa-
city.
In order to load the maximum quantity of
food into the freezer compartment of your
refrigerator, the upper drawers should be
taken out and the food should be placed
onto the wire/glass shelves. Net volume
and energy consumption information de-
clared in the energy label of your refriger-
ator was tested by taking out the upper
drawers in the cooler department and the
ice bucket, which is easily removable by
hand.
Using the below drawer when storing is
strongly recommended.
Depending on the product’s features; de-
frosting frozen foods in the cooler com-
partment will ensure energy saving and
preserve food quality.
Make sure the foods are not in contact
with the cooler compartment temperature
sensor described below.
If they are in contact with the sensor, en-
ergy consumption of the appliance might
increase
Food shall be stored using the drawers in
the cooler compartment in order to ensure
energy saving and protect food in better
conditions.

7.2 Freezing Fresh Foods
Foods to be frozen must be divided into
portions according to a size to be con-
sumed, and frozen in separate packages.
In this way, all the food should be preven-
ted from being re-frozen by thawing.
In order to protect the nutritional value, the
aroma and the colour of the foods as
much as possible, vegetables should be
boiled for a short period of time before
freezing. (Boiling is not necessary for foods
such as cucumber, parsley.) Cooking time
of the vegetables frozen in this way is
shortened by 1/3 than that of the fresh ve-
getables.
To extend the storage times of frozen
foods, boiled vegetables must first be
filtered and then hermetically packaged as
in the all types of foods.
Foods should not be placed in the freezer
compartment without package.
The packaging material of the food to be
stored should be air-tight, thick and dur-
able and should not deform with cold and
humidity. Otherwise, the food that is
hardened by freezing might pierce the
package. Sealing the package well is also
important in terms of securely storing the
food.
The Following Packaging Types Are
Suitable to Freeze Food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminium foil, plastic foil,
vacuum bags and cold-resistant storage
containers with caps.
The Use of Following Types of Pack-
aging Is Not Recommended to Freeze
Food:
Packaging paper, parchment paper, cello-
phane (gelatin paper), garbage bag, used
bags and shopping bags.
Hot foods should not be placed in the
freezer compartment without cooling.
When placing unfrozen fresh foods in the
freezer compartment, please note that it
does not contact with frozen foods. Cool-
pack (PCM) can be placed to the rack im-
mediately below the quick freezing rack for
preventing them from being getting warm.
During the freezing time (24 hours) do not
place other food to the freezer.
Place your foods to the freezing shelves or
racks by spreading them so that they will
not be cramped (it is recommended that
the packaging does not come into contact
with each other).
Frozen foods must be immediately con-
sumed in a short period of time after de-
frosting and must never be frozen again.
Do not block the ventilation holes by put-
ting your frozen foods in front of the ventil-
ation holes located on the back surface.
We recommend you to attach a label onto
the package and write the name of the
foods in the package and the freezing
time.

Advice on Storing Frozen Foods
While purchasing your frozen foods, make
sure that they are frozen at appropriate
temperatures and their packages are not
broken.
Put the packages in the freezer compart-
ment as soon as possible after purchasing
them.
Make sure that the expiration date indic-
ated on the packaging is not expired be-
fore consuming the packaged ready meals
that you remove from the freezer compart-
ment.
Defrosting
The ice in the freezer compartments is auto-
matically thawed.
Freezer Details
The EN 62552 standard requires (according
to specific measurement conditions) that at
least 4.5 kg of food for each 100 litres of
freezer compartment volume can be frozen
at 25 °C ambient temperature in 24 hours.
Defrosting the Frozen Foods
Depending on the food diversity and the pur-
pose of use, a selection can be made
between the following options for defrosting:
At room temperature (it is not very suitable
to defrost the food by leaving it at room
temperature for a long time in terms of
maintaining the food quality)
In the refrigerator
In the electrical oven (in models with or
without fan)
In the microwave oven
CAUTION!
Never put acidic beverages in glass bottles
and cans into your freezer due to the risk
of explosion.
If there is moisture and abnormal swelling
in the packaging of frozen foods, it is likely
that they were previously stored in an im-
proper storage condition and their con-
tents deteriorated. Do not consume these
foods without checking.
Since the taste of some spices in cooked
meals may change when exposed to long-
term storage conditions, you must add
lesser amount of spices to your foods to
be frozen or the desired spices should be
added to the foods after the thawing pro-
cess.
