Notes for Operation

Users should keep in mind that frost can form if the door is not closed completely or if the humidity is high during the summer.Ensure there is sufficient space between food stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the door to close completely.Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has a permissible range in the appliance specifications. If you wish to minimise the impact on the food storage due to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored food in several layers.The keys be kept out of the reach of children and not in the vicinity of the refrigerating appliance, in order to prevent children from being locked inside.

Suggestion for Energy Saving

For the most efficient use of energy, keep all inner parts (e.g. door bins, drawers and shelves) on their original location. Altering their positions may result in less efficient energy consumption or performance.Ensure there is sufficient space between stored foods. This allows cold air to be circulated evenly and lowers electricity bills.Store hot food only after it has cooled in order to prevent dew or frost.When storing food in the freezer compartment, set the freezer temperature lower than the temperature indicated on the food.Do not set the temperature of the appliance lower than needed.

Storing Foods Effectively

Food may freeze or spoil if stored at the wrong temperature. Set the appliance to the correct temperature for the food being stored.Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside sealed containers.Check the expiration date and label (storage instructions) before storing food in the appliance.Do not place unfrozen food in direct contact with food that is already frozen. It could be necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing every day is anticipated.Place the food in the appliance immediately after purchasing.Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the appliance, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.Avoid refreezing any food which has been completely thawed. Freezing any food which has been completely thawed again will lower its taste and nutrition.Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot food is placed inside, the internal temperature of the appliance can increase and negatively affect other foods stored in the appliance.Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.If you set an excessively low temperature for food, it may become frozen. Do not set a temperature lower than the required temperature for the food to be stored correctly.In the event of a blackout, call the electricity company and ask how long it is going to last.You should avoid door openings while the power is off.When the power supply gets back to normal, check the condition of the food.

Freezing the Maximum Amount of Food

If large quantities of food are to be stored, all the freezer baskets should be taken out of the appliance.To remove the baskets, first remove the food from baskets and then pull out the baskets carefully. Not doing so could cause injury or damage to the baskets.
