Suggestion on food storage Suggestion on food storage

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, 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.

Never keep too many foods in door rack because they may be interrupted by inner racks so that the door cannot be fully closed.

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 nutrient.

When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.

Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metallic -, with wet hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment. - That’s why you may have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters are frozen, causing personal injury.

Avoid placing moist food upmost refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air.

Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.

When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer. Freezer compartment Refrigerator compartment

If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequent openning of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in it may cause dew to form which has no effect on its performance. Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care. NOTE Suggestion on food storage

Dismantling is done in the reverse sequence of assembly. Be sure to unplug the power plug before dismantling and assembly. Never apply severe force to dismantle parts. Parts may be damaged. NOTE16 Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance General information Cleaning 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 not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation. Vacation time Power failure If you move Anti condensation pipe Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base. The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Don’t be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerator to prevent “sweating” on the outer cabinet wall. Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or power plug is well inserted into the power consent. Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.). Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry. Exterior Interior After cleaning Warning

Exterior Interior After cleaning Warning17 Care and maintenance Care and maintenance Trouble shooting Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. Runing of refrigerator Refrigerator compressor does not run. Refrigerator runs too much or too long Possible cause Refrigerator control is off. Refrigerator is in defrost cycle. Plug at wall o u t le t is disconnected. Power outage. Ch e ck house lights. Refrigerator is large r than the pre vio u s one you owned. Room or outside weather is hot. Refrigerator has re ce n t ly been disconnected for a period of time . Large amounts of warm or hot food may have been stored recently. Doors are opened too frequently or too long. Refrigerator or f r e e ze r door may be slightly open. Refrigerator control is set too co ld . Refrigerator or f r e e ze r gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted. Thermostat is keeping the refrigerator at a constant temperature. Solution Set refrigerator control. See settin g the controls. This is normal f o r a fully automatic defrosting refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically. Make sure plug is tightly pushed into outlet. Call local electric co mp an y. This is normal. Larger, more efficien t units run longer in these condit io n s. It is normal f o r the refrigerator to work longer under th e se conditions. It takes some hours for the refrigerator to cool down completely. Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the desired temperature is reached. Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to r u n longer. Open the door less often. Make sure the refrigerator is level. Keep food and containers from blocking door. See problem section. OPENING/CLOSING of d o o r s. Set the refrige r at o r control to a warmer setting unt il the refrigerator temperature is satisfact o r y. Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desire d temperatures. This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and off to keep the temperature constant. Occurrence18 Care and maintenance19 Care and maintenance Sound and noise Louder sound levels when refrigerator is on. Louder sound levels when compressor comes on. Moisture collects on inside of refrigerator walls. Water/Moisture /Ice outside refrigerator Moisture forms on outside of refrigerator or between doors. Vibrating or rattling noise. Water/Moisture /Ice inside refrigerator Refrigerator is touching wall or cabinets. Weather is hot and humid which increases rate of frost buildup and internal sweating. Door is slightly open. Door is opened too often or too long. Weather is humid. Door is slightly open, causing cold air from the inside the refrigerator to meet warm air from the outside. Floor is uneven or weak. Refrigerator rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. Refrigerator operates at higher pressures during the start of the ON cycle. Items placed on the top of refrigerator are vibrating. Dishes are vibrating on the shelves in the refrigerator. This time, close the door completely. This is normal in humid weather. When humidity is lower, the moisture should disappear. See problem section opening/closing of doors. Relieve or move refrigerator This is normal. It is normal for dishes to vibrate slightly. Move dishes slightly. Make sure refrigerator is level and solidly set on floor. Be sure floor is level and solid and can adequately support refrigerator. Remove items. It is normal for sound levels to be higher. This is normal. Sound will level off as refrigerator continues to run. Open the door less often.
