INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOD STORAGE

Precautions for use

• The appliance might not operate consistently (there is possibility of defrosting or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) if situated for an extended period of time below the cold limit of the temperature range for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.
• The information about the climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating label.
• The internal temperature can be affected by such factors as the location of the refrigerating appliance, the ambient temperature, and how frequently the door is opened. If necessary, the setting of any temperature control device might have to be adjusted to allow for these factors.
• Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or the low-temperature compartment, and some products, such as water ices, should not be consumed too cold.

Food storage location

Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator, the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is different, so different kinds of food should be placed in different areas.

The fresh food compartment is suitable for the storage of food that does not need to be frozen, such as cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments that need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc. The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of vegetables, fruits, etc.

The freezer compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and food that needs to be preserved for a long time.

Use of the fresh food compartment

Set the temperature of the fresh food storage compartment between 2^ C \~ 8^ C and store food that is intended for short-term storage, or to be eaten at any time, in the fresh food compartment.

Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up first, and then pull it out; and when installing the shelf, place it into position before putting it down. (For the two-section shelf, push the first section to the rear, and then pull the second section out). Keep the shelf's rear flange upward, to prevent foods from coming into contact with the liner wall. When taking out or putting in the shelf, hold it firmly, and handle with care to avoid damage.

Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box to access the food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of the crisper box, be sure to put it back onto the crisper, so that the internal temperature of the crisper box will not be affected.

How to use the ice-making box

Place the ice-cube tray in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it will freeze as soon as possible.

Suggestions for food storage

It is best to wash food items and wipe them dry before storing them inside the refrigerator. Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is advisable to wrap them up, so as to prevent water evaporation in the case of fresh fruits and vegetables on the one hand and prevent the taint of odours on the other hand.

Do not put too much or very heavy food inside the refrigerator. Leave enough space between food items: if they are too close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not store an excessive amount of heavy items, to avoid the shelf from being crushed. When storing the food, keep it away from the inner wall. Also, do not place water-rich foods too close to the rear of the fridge, lest they get frozen to the inner wall.

Categorized storage of foods: Foods should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed at the front of the shelf, so the length of time the door is open can be shortened and food spoilage due to expiration can be avoided.

Energy-saving tips: Allow hot food to cool down to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Put any frozen food in the fresh food compartment to thaw, using the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus saving energy.

Storage of fruits and vegetables

In the case of refrigerating appliances with chilling compartments, it is important to note that some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and are, therefore, not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment.

Use of the frozen food storage compartment

The freezer temperature is set at -18^ , and it is advisable to store food requiring long-term preservation in the freezer compartment, although the storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to.

The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and meat in large blocks should be cut into small pieces and packed into freezer bags before being evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.

• Allow hot food to cool down to room temperature before putting it in the freezer compartment.
• Do not put sealed glass containers or cans full of liquid in the freezer compartment, so as to avoid bursting or distortion due to expansion after the liquid freezes.
• Divide food into appropriately small portions.
• It is best to wrap food up before freezing it, and the materials used for wrapping should be dry, to prevent the freezer bags from freezing together. Foods should be packed in or covered with suitable materials that are firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and the transfer of odours.

Tips for shopping for frozen food

1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as "Best before", found on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy frozen food.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen items together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steamed. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When food is frozen in small quantities, it will take less time for it to freeze and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of food that needs to be frozen. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to the low mode to lower the freezer temperature so, food can be frozen quickly and retain its freshness.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning the appliance, carefully review the safety information (Section 1).

For hygienic reasons, the inside of the appliance, including accessories, should be cleaned regularly.

! CAUTION!

• Remove the plug from the socket before cleaning. Never touch the plug with wet hands because of the risk of electric shocks and injury.
• Do not spill water directly onto the appliance to prevent rust, leakage and accidents.
• Do not put your hands in the bottom of the fridge as the sharp metal corners can cause scratches.
• Do not use water jets and steam to clean the appliance.
• To prevent damage, do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, petrol, acids, chlorine, abrasive powders, hot water or other corrosive or soluble substances to clean the cabinet surface, door gasket or plastic decorative parts.
• Do not use electrical appliances (such as a hairdryer or heater) to defrost your appliance.

! ATTENTION!

- The electrical parts of the appliance may only be cleaned with a dry cloth.

Interior and exterior cleaning

• Food residues in the appliance can cause a bad smell. The appliance should therefore be cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is preferably cleaned monthly.
• Remove all shelves, fruit and vegetable compartment, bottle racks, cover plate, drawers, etc. and clean with a soft cloth or sponge moistened with warm water or a neutral detergent.
• If you are using cleaning agents, clean with a soft cloth or sponge, and wipe dry.
• Regularly remove the dust from the back panel and side plates of the appliance. Use a dry cloth for this. (no water)
• If the appliance has been empty for a long time, turn it off, defrost, clean, dry and leave the door open to avoid mould forming in the appliance.
