OPERATION CHECK
7
The temperature in the fresh compartment is between 0~10 C, although this lower temperature can limit the bacteria propagation, it is not suitable for a long period of food storage.
FRESH FOOD STORAGE
Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator.
The internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more energy.
It is better to put the food in a sealed bag before
placing into the refrigerator.
In order to keep vegetables fresh in the crisper, any
water should be removed first, otherwise the vegetables may spoil. If you put the vegetables in a bag, they
may be stored for a longer period.
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material.
This prevents food odour and taste transfer throughout refrigerator.
• Fruit: wash, allow to dry and store in plastic bags, preferably in the crisper.
• Leafy vegetables: remove wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discoloured areas,
wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in the
crisper.
• Fish: use fresh fish the same day as purchased.
• Meat: store most meat in original wrapping as long as it’s airtight and moisture-proof.
Re-wrap if necessary.
• Leftovers – Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminium foil.
FOOD STORAGE

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
When using the fridge freezer for the first time, turn the temperature control to set “6” for at
least two hours before introducing the food to be stored. All frozen food products you purchase should be placed in the freezer compartment as soon as possible to avoid defrosting.
Storage recommendation printed on the packaging of frozen food by the manufacturers
should be always be followed. Be careful that the drawer doesn’t damage the refrigeration
pipeline.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as
freezing alone does not sterilize the food. It is advisable to freeze the food by packing it into
separate meal portions and not in bulk form. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the
freezer compartment. Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminium
sheets or freezing containers and place into the freezer compartment. See the data plate on
the back of the refrigerator-freezer for the maximum permissible amount in kilograms of
fresh food that can be frozen in any 24 hour period with a room temperature of 25. Never
freeze more than the maximum permissible.
Note: Never put bottled food or drinks in the freezer compartment. For best performance,
leave enough space in the Freezer compartment for air to circulate around the packages.
