B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very simple and hassle-free
thanks to a special defrost collection con-
tainer.
7.3 Storing Food in the Cooler Compartment
Storing Food in the Cooler Compart-
ment
• 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.
Defrost twice a year or when a layer of ice
around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start
the defrosting procedure, disconnect the
appliance from the power outlet and pull
out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several lay-
ers of newspaper and stored in a cold place
(e.g. refrigerator or pantry).
To speed up the defrosting process, con-
tainers of hot water can be carefully placed
inside the freezer.
Do not use pointed or sharp objects such
as knives or forks to remove ice.
Never use a hair dryer, electric heater or
similar electrical appliances for defrosting.
Sponge off any defrost water that has ac-
cumulated under the freezer compartment.
After defrosting, dry the interior completely.
• 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
