Cautions for cold storage

* Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator
* Dry any water droplets on the food before placing it in the refrigerator.
* It is recommended that food be sealed in suitable storage bags before being placed in the refrigerator; this will prevent moisture in the food from evaporating and prevent vegetables and fruit from withering or altering in flavor.

Long-term storage of food

As the freezer storage temperature is very low, fresh food can be stored in the freezer compartment for a long time. Food requiring long-term storage can be stored in the frozen food compartment. Attention should be paid to the storage information printed on the food packing.

Frozen food storage

* The recommended weight of fresh food is less than 2 kg.
* Hot food should not be stored in the refrigerator until it has cooled down to room temperature.
* The outside of any food packing should dried before storage in the freezer, and any packing materials should be odor-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic.
* Only remove the required amount of food from the refrigerator. Defrosted food cannot be re-stored in the freezer unless it is first cooked.
* Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 1.5kg.
* Do not put in bottled beer or drinks.
* Do not touch frozen food wet-handed.

Making water-Ice

* Pour water into the water ice mould up to three-quarters of the mould volume, and then place the mould in the freezing compartment.
* Do not a use knife or other metal tools to take the ice out of the mould.
* The ice can be easily removed by hand after the mould has been placed in warm water for a short time.

Defrosting the cold storage compart-

ment

The cold storage compartment is designed for automatic defrosting. Frost formed on the back wall will melt and flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container over the compressor on the back of the refrigerator, where the heat generated by the compressor will evaporate the water.

Water outlet, cleaning rod

Caution: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensure the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the rod provided to clear any blockages.

Defrosting the freezer

After a period of operation, a layer of frost will form on the surface of the freezer. Additional electricity will be consumed if this layer becomes too thick. The defrosting process must be carried out when a thick layer of frost has been formed.

To defrost the freezer, first disconnect the power by unplugging the refrigerator, and then remove any food from the refrigerator and place it in a cool place. Use a plastic defrosting tool.

After ice and frost are melted, wipe up the inside of the freezer compartment.

Caution: Never use a metal tool or electrical heater for defrosting.

After the defrosting is completed, plug in the refrigerator and it starts operation again.

Power failure

Even in summer, food can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours after a power failure.

* Don't put additional food into the refrigerator during a power failure.

* Avoid opening the door during power failures

* If prior notice of a power failure is given, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the cold storage compartment.

Caution: temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power failure or in the event of technical problems, and the storage period will be reduced.

Cleaning

The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the formation of bad odors.

* Disconnect the power before cleaning the refrigerator.
* Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, gasoline or other solvents, hot water, acid or alkali for cleaning.
* Wipe water drops on the surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth.
(1) Do not use excessive amounts of water for cleaning the refrigerator
(2) Use a dry cloth to clean the switch, the lamp and the temperature controller
* Always keep the rubber door seal clean
* Clean the back and sides of the refrigerator regularly.

Cessation of Operation

If the power failure lasts for an extended period, unplug the refrigerator and clean the refrigerator as previously described.

Keep the door of refrigerator open when the power is turned off to prevent any food remaining in the compartment from producing bad odors.

Caution: It is recommended that the refrigerator is not turned off

During Vacations

* Remove any food from refrigerator is the vacation is short. Turn the temperature selection knob to the proper position, and make sure that the door of the refrigerator is properly closed.
* If the vacation is long, take out the food from the refrigerator and disconnect the power. When the frost inside melts, clean and dry the compartment.

Discarding

* Remove the door of the refrigerator when you get rid of it, in case children may get trapped in.

Moving the refrigerator

* Unplug the refrigerator
* Remove any food
* Tightly close the door with tape

Events below are not problems:

* The temperature of the refrigerator and the compressor will rise and the compressor will run for comparatively longer periods when the refrigerator is first started.
* Wipe water drops on the external surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth.
* When the refrigerator is opened frequently or stay open too long in humid seasons, the cavity will be dampened.
* A slight sound will be heard when the liquid refrigerant circulates or when the compressor switches on and off.
* A slight sound will be heard when defrosted water drops into the evaporating dish.
* The compressor will operate for comparatively longer periods if excessive quantities of food are stored or the ambient temperature is high.
* The evaporator will produce odors if the compartment is not cleaned.

Caution: The refrigerator should never be restarted until a period of at least five minutes has elapsed.
