refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy. Do cover or wrap the food， particularly if it has a strong flavor. Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it. Hints for refrigeration Meat (All Types) Wrap in polyth ene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers. Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: They should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in the special drawer provided. Butter and cheese: Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic film wrap. Energy saving tips We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy. Ensure the appliance is awa y from any sources of heat (Direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc) Don't set the temperature colder than necessary. Don't store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance. Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free, room. Please refer to Installing your new appli ance chapter. If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration. Hints for fresh food refrigeration Do not place hot food directly into the

Hisense Refrigerator film wrap. Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be stored in the door racks. Hints for freezing When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in th e compartment. Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly a nd completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required. Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight, Do not allow fresh，unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter. Iced products， if consumed immediately after removal from t

freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin. It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time. Hints for the storage of frozen food Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer Once defrosted，food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food ma nuf acturer. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
