IN USE

1. The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed

2. The information about the climate range of the appliance is provided on the rated plate.

3. The fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as the location of the refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature and the frequency of door opening, and, if appropriate, a warning that the setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors

4. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold
5. The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food

Storage of food

1. The cook dishes can be put into refrigerator to keep fresh after their temperature decreases to room temperature.
2. Egg pockets and bottle pockets for eggs, butter, milk and bottle drinks, etc. Storage of food or containers should be left between the gap, so as not to affect the air-conditioning cycle
3. The arrangement of food for storage, in particular the need to avoid cross-contamination, such as food to be stored should be wrapped with clean plastic film or fresh keeping paper, then distributed to several frames even to avoid contamination and the loss of water and smell mixture.
4. Fruits and vegetables should be put into the salad crisper to prevent excessive evaporation of water and freshness.
5. Cool hot food down to the room temperature before storing otherwise consumption of electricity will increase and would lead to frost forming inside.
6. In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill compartment, a statement to the effect that some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold, and that therefore they are not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment.
7. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold

Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge

1. Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
2. This allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept cool.
3. To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.

4. Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.

5. To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.

Interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating

system

The care required with regard to frozen food in storage in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating appliance (interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system)

1. Do not open the refrigerator door as much as possible so that even in hot summer food can be safely and freshly kept for hours.
2. If you have a power outage notice in advance:
   1) Please an hour in advance will be temperature control stalls transferred to a strong cold position, so that the refrigerator fully frozen. (Note that this time do not store new food!) To be restored after the timely supply of temperature control gear to the original location.
   2) You can also make some ice, with a watertight container, and put it in the upper part of the freezer. So that it is necessary to extend the time for fresh food to be deposited.

Preparations for freezing

1. Leave cooked food to cool completely.
2. Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible.
3. Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.
4. Don't freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from the Freezer.

5. Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits). Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first).

6. Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.

7. Leave a small amount of "air space" when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.

8. You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. This is known as "performing" Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it like this, then remove it from the container and seal the bag.

Tips for shopping for frozen foods

1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as "Best, Before", found on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping, and on the journey home as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep frozen food cold for longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities, it freezes faster, takes less time to thaw and enables you to eat it in the quantity you need.
9. First, estimate the amount of food you will be freezing. If you are freezing large amounts of fresh food, remember to turn the control dial to the low temperature range. This will lower the temperature in the Freezer, freezing your food quicker and helping to keep the goodness in. However you should do this sparingly to conserve energy.

Defrosting

This appliance is designed as automatic defrosting ,no need to defrost by hand.

Moving the Fridge/Freezer

Location

Do not place your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg. Cooker, boiler or radiator.

Also avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.

Leveling the Fridge/Freezer

Make sure the Fridge/Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the Fridge/Freezer is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may cause your Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly.

After the Fridge/Freezer is in place, it can be used after 4 hours. This allows time for the coolant to settle.

Installation

Don't cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.

If you're not at home for a long time

• If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
• Remove all the food.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the door removed.
• Keep the cleaned fridge in a dry, ventilated place away from the heat source, where the fridge is placed smoothly and do not place heavy objects on top of the fridge.
• Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child's play.

Save energy

1. Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
2. The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not place hot food inside the refrigerator.
3. Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
4. The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy consumption, and the formation of excess ice and / or condensation inside.
5. Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate the flow of air.
6. Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
7. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
8. The arrangement of food for storage and for freezing, where applicable, particularly including advice that food to be frozen is not to be placed in direct contact with food in storage and, if appropriate, that it could be necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing every day is anticipated.
9. During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it. The door should be left slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not affect the refrigerator when it is reconnected.
10. During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on. However,

remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you are gone.

1. The door to the evaporator clearance can be used to store food.
2. The storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets.
3. The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
