1. What to Do before You Call for Service

STORING FOOD

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To

maximize the shelf life of perishable food products,

ensure that the food is of the freshest possible qual-

ity. The following is a general guide to help promote

longer food storage.

Fruit / Vegetables

To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should

be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap,

bags ( do not seal ) and place in the Fruit and veg-

etable crisper. Those fruits and vegetables with thick

skins e.g. oranges do not require wrapping.

Dairy Products & Eggs

• Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer

packaging which informs the recommended tem-

perature and shelf life of the product.

• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.

Meats / Fish / Poultry

• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or

plastic wrap.

• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the

rear of the shelves.

• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or

placed in an airtight container.

CARE AND CLEANING

Some household cleaning chemicals may af-

fect the inside surfaces and plastic shelves re-

sulting in splitting or cracks occurring.

When cleaning all plastic

parts inside this refrigerator,

only use diluted dishwashing

liquid(soapy water). Make

sure that all plastic parts are

thoroughly rinsed with water

after cleaning.

1.Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet

and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing

water; rinse in clean water and dry.

2.Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy

dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe

off soapy water.

3.Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is

soiled.

4.Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and

warm soapy dishwashing water.

5.Whenever the refrigerator is moved to clean or re-

positioned, Evaporating pan should be removed and

cleaned.

Switching off your refrigerator

If you switch your refrigerator off when you are going away for an extended period, remove all food, clean the interior

thoroughly. Remove the power cord plug from the power socket and leave all doors open.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Before you call for service, check the following point.

IT IS NORMAL

for the refrigerator to produce the

following sounds.

• Loud noise produced by the compressor when op-

eration starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while.

• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor

--- Operating sound produced immediately after au-

tomatic defrost operation.

• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound)

--- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may

become louder from time to time).

NOTE:

• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air to

circulate efficiently.

• Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot foods

increases the temperature in the unit and increases the risk of

food spoilage.

• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating circuit

with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will not be evenly

cooled throughout the refrigerator.

Do not place food di-

rectly in front of cold air

outlet. This may lead to

the food freezing.

FOR BEST FREEZING

• Quality of foods should be fresh.

• Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them quickly.

• Food should be properly stored or covered and the air should

be removed to seal tightly.

• Evenly place the food in the freezer.

• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.

Evaporating pan;

How to remove

Move the Evaporating pan to

the left to pull it toward your-

self.

How to set

Set the Evaporating pan so

that the two protrusions on

the machine come through

its corresponding holes, and

move the pan to the right.

Please pay attention to the safety

since the compressor is very hot.

Make sure the back end of the

Evaporating pan rests securely on

the rail. Otherwise water will leak.

NOTE:

• Do not use polishing powder, benzine, hot water etc.

• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped off

thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.

• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components as they can

cause cracking of the plastic surface.

• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by expan-

sion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during

cooling.

• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and con-

traction of internal parts.

IT IS NORMAL

that the outside of a cabinet may be hot when

touched. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew

generation.
