STORING FOOD Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.

To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products,

ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality.

The following is a general guide to help promote longer

To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be

loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags

(do not seal) and place in the Vegetable crisper or the Fruit

case. Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins e.g.

oranges do not require wrapping.

Dairy Products & Eggs

• Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer

packaging which informs the recommended temperature

and shelf life of the product.

• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.

Meats / Fish / Poultry

• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic

• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear of

• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in

• Hot foods should be cooled before

storing. Storing hot foods increases

the temperature in the unit and

increases the risk of food spoilage.

• Do not block the outlet and inlet of

the cool air circulating circuit with

foods or containers; otherwise the

foods will not be evenly cooled

throughout the refrigerator.

• Do not place food directly in front of cold air

outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.

• Quality of foods should be fresh.

• Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them

• Food should be properly stored or covered and the air

should be removed to seal tightly.

• Evenly place the food in the freezer.

• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing

1. Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and

door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water; rinse

in clean water and dry.

2. Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy

dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off soapy

3. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.

4. Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and warm

soapy dishwashing water.

5. Wipe the control panel with the dry cloth.

• Do not use polishing powder, benzine, hot water etc.

• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped

off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.

• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components as they

can cause cracking of the plastic surface.

• The glass shelves weigh approximately 3 kg each. Hold

firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.

Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation

starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while.

• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor

--- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic

• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound)

--- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may

become louder from time to time).

• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by

expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal

parts during cooling.

• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and

contraction of internal parts.

IT IS NORMAL that the outside of a cabinet may be hot

when touched. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to

prevent dew generation.
