Changing the door opening direction
Door opening direction of your refrigerator can be changed according to the place you are using it. If this is necessary, please call your nearest Authorized Service.

Recommendations for freshfood compartment
May not be available in all models In case of multiple options are present glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the backwall are not blocked, prefably air outlets are remaining below the glass shelf. This combination may help impoving air distribution and energy efficiency. 

Open door warning
An audio warning will be given when the fridge or freezer compartment door of your product is left open for a certain period of time. This audio warning signal will mute when any button on the indicator is pressed or when the door is closed.

Changing the illumination lamp
To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, call your AuthorisedService. The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way. The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20 °C. (only chest and upright freezer)

Deodoriser Module (FreshGuard)
The deodoriser module quickly eliminates the bad smells in your refrigerator before they permeate the surfaces. Thanks to this module, which is placed on the ceiling of the fresh food compartment, the bad odours dissolve while the air is actively being passed on the odour filter, then the air that has been cleaned by the filter is re-emitted to the fresh food compartment. This way, the unwanted odours that may emerge during the storage of foods in the refrigerator are eliminated before they permeate the surfaces.
This is achieved thanks to the fan, LED and the odour filter integrated into the module. In daily use, the deodoriser module will turn on automatically on a periodic basis. To maintain efficient performance, it is recommended to have the filter in the deodoriser module by the authorised service provider every 5 years. Due to the fan integrated into the module, the noise you will hear during operation is normal. If you open the door of the fresh food compartment while the module is active, the fan will pause temporarily and resume where it has left off after some time the door is closed again. In case of power failure, the deodoriser module will resume where it has left off in the total operation duration once the power is back.
Info: It is recommended to store aromatic foods (such as cheese, olives and delicatessen foods) in their packaging and sealed to avoid bad odours that may result when smells of various foods get mixed. Besides, it is recommended to take spoiled foods out of the refrigerator quickly to prevent the other foods from getting spoiled and avoid bad odours.

The dairy (cold storage) compartment
Provides lower temperature than the refrigerator compartment. Use this compartment to store delicatessen (salami, sausages, dairy products and etc. ) that requires lower storage temperature or meat, chicken or fish products for immediate consumption. Do not store fruits and vegetables in this compartment. 

Blue light/HarvestFresh
*May not be available in all models

For the blue light,
Fruits and vegetables stored in the crispers that are illuminated with a blue light continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus preserve their vitamin content.

ForHarvestFresh,
Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the HarvestFresh technology preserve their vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simula-te a day cycle. If you open the door of the refrige-rator during the dark period of the HarvestFresh technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue-green or red light to illuminate the crisper for your conve-nience. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle.
