SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD

• 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, pineapples, and melons.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills!
• 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.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

• 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 nutrition.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.
• Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position for freezing:

Newly Introduced Food

• Freezer Door Basket, marked ( ^** ) is -12^ section, that is suitable for short term storage of frozen food (optional).
• Two star frozen food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice cream and making ice cubes (optional).
• Two star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food (optional).

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

• Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container.
• It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the back wall of the

Refrigerator Shelf Vegetable Drawer

refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator.

• Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

• Refrigerated foods and other food items can be stored on top of the vegetable box.
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.

CLEANING

GENERAL INFORMATION

VACATION TIME

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 to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.

POWER FAILURE

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

However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages.

IF YOU MOVE

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

To avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn them all the way into the base.

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments.

• Bed and breakfast type environments.
• Catering and similar non-retail applications.

ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may

sometimes get warm, especially just after installation.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

- This product applies LED Lamp which can not be replaced by the user. Please contact authorized service centre for the lamp replacement.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload that could cause a power outage.

ACCESSIBILITY OF SUPPLY PLUG

The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.

SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

ABOUT GROUNDING (EARTHING)

In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT MODIFY OR EXTEND THE POWER CORD LENGTH.

It will cause electric shock or fire.

TH.

An empty refrigerator can be a dangerous attraction to children. Remove either gaskets, latches, lids or the entire door from your unused appliance, or take some other action to make it harmless.

This appliance must be grounded (earthed).

DON'T WAIT! DO IT NOW!

Do not store inflammable materials, explosives or chemicals in the refrigerator.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

SERVICE CALLS CAN OFTEN BE AVOIDED!

IF YOU FEEL YOUR REFRIGERATOR IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, CHECK THESE POSSIBLE CAUSES FIRST :

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSES
REFRIGERATOR DOES NOT OPERATE	Has a house fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?Has the power cord plug been removed or loosened from the electrical wall outlet?
REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER COMPARTMENT TEMPERATURE TOO WARM	Temperature control not set on proper position.Appliance is placed close to wall or heat source.Warm weather-frequent door openings.Door left open for a long time.Large amount of foods are kept in the refrigerator.
ABNORMAL NOISE(S)	Refrigerator is installed in a weak or uneven place, or leveling screw needs adjusting.Unnecessary objects placed in the back side of the refrigerator.
REFRIGERATOR HAS ODOR	Foods with strong odors should be tightly covered or wrapped.Interior needs cleaning.
DEW FORMS ON THE CABINET SURFACE	Not unusual during periods of high humidity.Door may have been left ajar.

EARTH (GROUNDING) CONSTRUCTION (OPTIONAL)

It is recommended to install the earth wire to prevent electric shock in case of electricity leakage.

Diagram showing electrical connections with a battery, switch, and a cartoon character holding a device.

How to connect the earth wire:

- Connect the earth wire's metal ring end to the earth screw on the back of the refrigerator.

- Peel off the cable sheath/insulation at the other end of the earth wire. Attach the peeled wire to a metal screw/nail and then drive it through the wall or ground.

Do not connect the earth wire to the following locations.

- Gas pipe

It could produce sparks which lead to fire and explosion.

- Telephone earth wire and lightning rod

It is dangerous during lightning.

• Water pipe and water tap

The earth wire connection will not work when the middle of the water pipe is made of plastic. If it is connected to a metal water pipe, it could cause someone to be electrocuted.

When installing the product in a humid or wet location, you must install the earth wire.

Ex) • Unfloored or dirt floored room (Room with dirt and no floor), concrete floor

• Location where it can get wet such as near the sink
• Location where water can leak or is humid such as basement
• Other wet or humid location

Especially, for locations where it always get wet such as near the restaurant sink, you are obligated by the law to install a circuit breaker in addition to the earth wire.

After consulting with your retailer or electric construction company, you must do the earth wire construction (Type 3 earth construction). Please note that earth construction could incur extra fees.
