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 Fruit and vegetable
crisper. Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins
e.g. oranges do not require wrapping.
Dairy Products & Eggs
• Most dairy products have a used by date on the outer
packaging which informs the recommended tem-
perature and shelf life of the product.
• Eggs should be stored on Egg pocket.
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.

positioned, Evaporating pan should be removed and
cleaned.
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 compres-
sor --- Operating sound produced immediately after
automatic defrost operation.
• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound)
--- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may
4
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 Evaporating pan to the left
and to pull it toward yourself.
How to set
Set Evaporating pan so that the
two protrusions on the machine
come through its corresponding
holes, and move the pan to the
right.
NOTE
Please pay attention to the safety
since the compressor is very high.
Make sure the back end of Eva-
porating 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.
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.
become louder from time to time).
• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by expansion
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.
