5.2. Defrost

Fridge compartment
Fridge compartment performs full-
automatic defrosting. Water drops and a
frosting up to 7-8 mm can occur on the
inner rear wall of the fridge compartment
while your refrigerator cools down.
Such formation is normal as a result of
the cooling system. The frost formation
is defrosted by performing automatic
defrosting with certain intervals thanks
to the automatic defrosting system of the
rear wall. User is not required to scrape
the frost or remove the water drops.
Water resulting from the defrosting
passes from the water collection groove
and flows into the evaporator through
the drain pipe and evaporates here by
itself.
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order to
prevent decaying of the frozen food.
The freezer compartment defrosts
automatically.
Check regularly to see if the drain pipe is
clogged or not and clear it with the stick
in the hole when necessary.

5.3. Freezing fresh food

• It must be preferred to wrap or cover
the food before placing them in the
refrigerator.
• Hot food must cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in the
refrigerator.
• The foodstuff that you want to freeze
must be fresh and in good quality.
• Foodstuff must be divided into portions
according to the family's daily or meal
based consumption needs.
• The foodstuff must be packaged in an
airtight manner to prevent them from
drying even if they are going to be kept
for a short time.
• Materials to be used for packaging
must be tear-proof and resistant to
cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids and
they must also be airtight. Moreover,
they must be well closed and they must
be made from easy-to-use materials
that are suitable for deep freeze usage.
• Frozen food must be used immediately
after they are thawed and they should
never be re-frozen.
• Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
1. Do not freeze too large quantities
of food at one time. The quality of the
food is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
2. Placing warm food into the
freezer compartment causes the cooling
system to operate continuously until the
food is frozen solid.
3. Take special care not to mix
already frozen food and fresh food.
