Refrigerating storage precautions

Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before
storing in the refrigerator.

Food to be stored should be properly sealed.
This will prevent moisture in the food from evaporating
and prevent vegetables and fruit from tainting in flavor.

Dry any water droplets on the food before placing it in

the refrigerator.

Storage of sorted food
Food to be stored should be sorted according to
consumer requirements. Food consumed daily should be
placed in the most convenient area, this will minimize
opening periods for the door.

14

Do not store excess quantities or weights of food.
Food should be stored with spaces in between for better
storage results. Never overload shelves, as they may
collapse under excessive loads.

Do not place food too close to the internal walls.
Food with high moisture content should not be placed
close to the walls of the inner liner. Maintain a space to
prevent food from freezing to the walls.

Suggestions

Storage period will be extended if vegetables are placed
with their roots towards the cold source.

Eggs should be stored vertically in the egg holder.

Leaves of carrots or turnips should be removed before

storage.

Frozen food can be placed in the cold compartment before
serving, as this will conserve energy.

Onions, garlic, ginger, water chestnuts and other root
vegetables should not be stored in the refrigerator, as
these foods are suitable for long-term storage at normal
temperatures.

Vegetables and fruits should be stored on the upper areas in the refrigerator
when ambient temperature is 0-10

Caution

the refrigerator compartment will be around 0

Ripe squash, melon, pawpaw, bananas and pineapples
should not be stored in the refrigerator. Freezing will

18

Do not load excessive quantity of food. Quantity of

the food in storage shall comply with the cooling

capacity of the refrigerator .

Defrosting

Defrosting the refrigerator

The refrigerator is designed for automatic defrosting.
Frost formed on the back wall will melt and flow via the
drainpipe to the evaporating recipient over the
compressor on the back of the refrigerator, where the
heat generated by the compressor will evaporate the
water. It is normal for frost and water droplets to form on
the back wall of the refrigerator.

Always keep the drain over the fresh food container clear to ensure the normal

flow of defrosted water. Use the pin provided to clear any blockage.

Caution
