Instructions for food storage

INSTRUCTIONS Cold storage is for short-term food

Storage or for daily consumption. Although the temperature in most parts of the cold storage compartment can be regulated between 0 and 10 degrees Centigrade, extended periods of food storage is not recommended. Cold storage should only be used for short-term storage.

Cold storage compartment

1. Eggs and butter 2. Beverages and bottled drink 3. Food to be frozen 4. General food, meat, vegitables, etc.

* Storage period will be extended if vegetables are placed with their roots towards the cold source.

*Leaves of carrots of turnips should be removed before storage * Put a wad of tissue on the bottle holder before placing bottles on it so that later cleaning is easier * Frozen food can be placed in the cold compartment before serving, as this will conserve energy. * Onions, garlic, ginger, water chestnuts and other root vegetables should not be stored in the refrigerator, as these foods are suitable for long-term storage at normal temperatures. * Ripe squash, melon, papaw, bananas and pineapples should not be stored in the refrigerator. Freezing will accelerate the ripening process.

Long-term storage of food

As the freezer storage temperature is very low, fresh food can be stored in the freezer compartment for a long time. Food requiring long-term can be stored in the frozen food compartment. Attention should be paid to the storage information printed on the food packing.

* The recommend weight of fresh food is less than 2 kg. * Hot food should not be stored in the refrigerator until it has cooled down to room temperature. * The outside of any food packing should dried before storage in the freezer, and any packing materials should be odor-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic. * Only remove the required amount of food from the refrigerator. Defrosted food cannot be re-stored in the freezer unless it is first cooked. * Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 1.5 kg. * Do not put in bottled beer or drinks. * Do not touch frozen food wet-handed. Making water-Ice

Cautions for cold storage

* Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator * Dry any water droplets on the food before placing it in the refrigerator. * It is recommended that food be sealed in suitable storage bags before being placed in the refrigerator; this will prevent moisture in the food from evaporating and prevent vegetables and fruit from withering or altering in flavor. * Do not store excess quantities or weights of food; food should be stored with spaces in between for better storage results. Never overload shelves, as the may collapse under excessive loads. * Food to be stored should be sorted according to consumer requirements. Food consumed daily should be placed in the most convenient area, this will minimize opening periods for the door. Do not place food to close to the internal walls.

* Pour water into the water ice mould up to three-quarters of the mould volume, and then place the mould in the freezing compartment.

* Do not a use knife or other metal tools to take the ice out of the mould. * The ice can be easily removed by hand after the mould has been placed in warm water for a short time.

DEFROSTING CLEANING DE COMMISSIONING Defrosting the cold storage compartment

The cold storage compartment is designed for automatic defrosting. Frost formed on the back wall will melt and flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container over the compressor on the back of the refrigerator, where the heat generated by the compressor will evaporate the water.

Food holder cleaning

* Food holders can be taken out for cleaning

Caution: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensure the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the rod provided to clear any blockages.

Defrosting the freezer

Lamp: 240V, 10W Lamp holder: E14 (lamps exceeding 15W must not be used) * For replacement, unplug to disconnect the Power * Remove the lamp by turning anti-clockwise

After a period of operation, a layer of frost will form on the surface of the freezer. Additional electricity will be consumed if this layer becomes too thick.

The defrosting process must be carried out when a thick layer of frost has been formed. To defrost the freezer, first disconnect the power by unplugging the refrigerator, and then remove any food from the refrigerator and place it in a cool place. Use a plastic defrosting tool. After ice and frost are melted, wipe up the inside of the freezer compartment. Caution: Never use a metal tool or electrical heater for defrosting. After the defrosting is completed, plug in the refrigerator and it starts operation again.

Even in summer, food can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours after a power failure.

* Don’t put additional food into the refrigerator during a power failure.

* Avoid opening the door during power failures * If prior notice of a power failure is given, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the cold storage compartment.

The lamp does not blink

Caution: temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power failure or in the event of technical problems, and the storage period will be reduced.

The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the formation of bad odors. * Disconnect the power before cleaning the refrigerator. * Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, gasoline or other solvents, hot water, acid or alkali for cleaning. * Wipe water drops on the surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth. (1) Do not use excessive amounts of water for cleaning the refrigerator (2) Use a dry cloth to clean the switch, the lamp and the temperature controller

Compressor operates for a long period or temperature does not reach set point

Thick frost on frozen food Strange odor

* Always keep the rubber door seal clean

* Clean the back and sides of the refrigerator regularly.

Cessation of Operation

If the power failure lasts for an extended period, unplug the refrigerator and clean the refrigerator as previously described. Keep the door of refrigerator open when the power is turned off to prevent any food remaining in the compartment from producing bad odors. Caution: It is recommended that the refrigerator is not turned off
