Crisper
The refrigerator's crisper is designed to keep vegetables fresh by preserving their humidity. For this purpose, the overall cold air circulation 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, separately with other vegetables and fruits in the same crisper thanks to the vegetable separator.
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 vegetables 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 below.
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, cucumber, broccoli, pepper, eggplant, okra, zucchini
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 materials such as water and detergents. Communicate 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 separator shall be washed, always remove the filter from the separator.
NOTICE
Ensure that the holes around the filter are not blocked to ensure air circulation.
