Proper use of freezer
- The low temperature of freezer may keep food fresh for a long time and it is mainly used to store frozen foods and making ice.
- The freezer is suitable for storing meat, fish, shrimp, pastries, and other foods that are not to be consumed in the short term.
- It is not suitable to store bottled or closed containers of fluid items for a long time. If you want to store such items, they should not be placed close to the wall of the freezer. There is a certain deviation between the temperature inside the box and the actual set temperature, which does not affect normal use.
- Please note that food shall be consumed within the shelf life.
- The fast-freezing function is designed to maintain the nutritional value of food. It can quickly freeze food in a short time. If a large amount of food needs to be frozen at one time, it is recommended that users turn on the fast-freezing function 5 hours in advance. In this case, the freezing speed of the freezer increases, allowing it to quickly freeze food and effectively preserve its nutrition.

Energy saving tips
- The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
- Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
- Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
- Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
- Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
