STORING FOOD

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maxi-

mize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that

the food is of the freshest possible quality. 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 Vegetable 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 pack-

aging which informs the recommended temperature 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 affect the

inside surfaces and plastic shelves resulting 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 reposi-

tioned, the Evaporating pan should be removed and

cleaned.

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.

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 follow-

ing sounds.

• Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation

starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while.

• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor

- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic

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 tempera-

ture 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/set

Remove the two screws

to take the Evaporating

pan off. Please pay at-

tention to the safety

since the compressor is

very hot.

Replacing method of the

lamp bulb

1.Unplug the refrigerator first to

prevent electric shock.

2.Remove the light cover.

3.Replace the lamp bulb with

same type.

Base E12, MAX 15W, T-20

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.

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

pansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts

during cooling.

• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and

contraction of internal parts.

IT IS NORMAL

when touched. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to

prevent dew generation.
