Storing foods

• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, and melons.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
• When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise.
• Never keep too much food in door rack because they may push against by inner racks so that the door cannot be fully closed.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.
• Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metallic -, with wet hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.

- That's why you may have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters are frozen, causing personal injury.

• Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct contact with chilled air.
• Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

- If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in it may cause dew to form which has no effect on its performance. Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

When store vegetables and fruits, set the Multi-Use compartment temperature to 1-6°C. When store fish and meat for a short time, set the temperature to below 0°C. Therefore, always check the temperature setting before store foods.

! WARNING

Cleaning

It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.

Be sure to unplug the power.

Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator.

Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.

Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.

Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or power plug is well inserted into the power consent.

Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.).

Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock.

Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface.

Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stickor adhere to extremely cold surfaces.

Vacation time

Power failure

If you move

Anti condensation pipe

Replace the lamp

WARNING

General information

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.

When you plan not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.

Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.

However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator.

To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation.

Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerator to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall.

Lighting specifications of this product: refrigerator compartment lamp power: DC12V/1.2W;

Multi-Use compartment lamp: DC12V/0.3W (applicabe to some models only).

In case the lamp is damaged, contact service center to replace it. Never replace it by yourself.
