The food products to be frozen must not
contact the already-frozen food inside to
avoid partial defrosting.
Boil the vegetables and filter the water to
extend the frozen storage time. Place the
food in air-tight packages after filtering and
place in the freezer. Bananas, tomatoes,
lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and
similar food items should not be frozen. In
case these foods are frozen, only nutri-
tional values and eating qualities will be
negatively affected. A rotting that would
threaten human health is not in question.
Placing the food
Freezer compartment shelves: Different
frozen foods like meat, fish, ice cream, ve-
getables etc.
Cooler compartment shelves: Food items
inside pots, capped plate and capped
cases, eggs (in closed case)
Cooler compartment door shelves: Small
and packaged food or beverages
Crisper: Vegetables and fruits
Fresh food compartment: Delicatessen
(breakfast food, meat products to be con-
sumed in short time)
Storing food in the cooler compartment
• Compartment temperatures rise promin-
ently if compartment door is opened and
closed frequently and kept open for a
long time, this can reduce the life span of
the food and cause the food to spoil.
• In order not to cause odour and taste
changes, the food should be stored in the
closed containers.
• Do not store too much food in your refri-
gerator. To achieve a better and homo-
geneous cooling, place the food separ-
ately in a way that cold air can wander
through them.
• Provide air flow by leaving a space
between the food and internal wall. If you
lean the food against the rear wall, the
food may freeze.
• Bring cooked hot meals to the room tem-
perature before placing them in the refri-
gerator. Then, you can place the tepid
meal in the lower shelves of your refriger-
ator. Do not place the tepid meals close
to the foods which may easily spoil.
• Defrost your frozen food in the fresh food
compartment. Thereby, you can cool
fresh food compartment by using frozen
food and save energy.
• Storing unripe tropical fruits (mango,
melon varieties, papaya, banana, pine-
apple) in the refrigerator may speed up
the ripening process This is not recom-
mended because it will cause shorter
storage time.
• You should store onions, garlics, gingers
and other root vegetables in dark and
cold room conditions, not in the refriger-
ator.
• If you notice that a food has spoiled in
the refrigerator, throw away that food and
clean the accessories which have come
into contact with it.
• In order to cool the meals like soups and
stews, which are cooked in the large
pots, quickly, you can put them in the re-
frigerator by separating them into their
own shallow containers.
• Do not place unpackaged food close to
eggs.
• Keep the fruits and vegetables separately
and store each variety together (for ex-
ample; apples with apples, carrots with
carrots)
• Take green vegetables out of the plastic
bag and place them in the refrigerator
after wrapping them in a paper towel or
drying cloth. If you wash this type of food
before placing them in the refrigerator, re-
member to dry them.
• You can both create a damp environment
and provide an air flow by keeping fruits
and vegetables, which are prone to dry-
ing, in the perforated or unsealed plastic
bags.
• Except the cases where extreme circum-
stances are available in the environment,
if your product (on the recommended set
values table) is set to the specified set
