culation is intensified in the crisper. Keep
fruits and vegetables in this compartment.
Keep the green-leaved vegetables and fruits
separately to prolong their life.
Ethylene Filter
The ethylene retaining filter helps to remove
the ethylene gas and bad odours released
from the vegetables and fruits in the crisper.
You may store the fruits such as pear,
apricot, peach and particularly apples, which
generate high amount of ethylene gas, sep-
arately with other vegetables and fruits in the
same crisper thanks to the vegetable separ-
ator.
The ethylene gas released from these fruits
may cause your other vegetables and fruits
to ripen faster and rot in a shorter time.
Thanks to this feature, you may keep your
fresh food and particularly your green veget-
ables that are sensitive to ethylene gas fresh
for a longer period of time.
You may store your food for a longer period
of time by placing the foods sensitive to
ethylene gas in one of the compartments
separated by the crisper separator, and the
foods that generate ethylene gas in the other
compartment.
Foods that generate ethylene gas and that
are sensitive to ethylene gas are listed be-
low.
Foods that generate ethylene gas; Apple,
pear, apricot, peach, nectarine, avocado,
kiwi, plum, fig, quince, tomato
Foods that are sensitive to ethylene gas;
Fresh green vegetables (such as lettuce,
parsley), strawberry, cherry, grapes, orange,
tangerine, pineapple, cherry, lemon, cucum-
ber, broccoli, pepper, eggplant, okra, zuc-
chini
Cleaning of the Ethylene Filter
Ethylene filter shall be cleaned once a year.
Remove the ethylene filter by pulling the filter
cover upwards as shown in the figure.
Leave the ethylene filter under sunlight for a
day. Thus, your filter shall be cleaned.
Put the filter back, and close the upper
cover.
To provide maximum effectiveness of your
filter and to preserve its performance, avoid
contact with oil and similar fluids, and mater-
ials such as water and detergents. Commu-
nicate with the service to replace your filter
with a new one after such contact.
Cleaning of the Crisper Separator
To prevent blockage of the clean air holes of
the crisper separator, wipe it with a clean,
dry cloth in specified intervals. If the separ-
ator shall be washed, always remove the fil-
ter from the separator.
Ensure that the holes around the fil-
ter are not blocked to ensure air cir-
culation.
