Suggestions on food storage
10
Storing food
Making Ice
Opening the door often or keeping the door opened a long time, increases the inside temperature. This causes the storage life and flavor of the foods to reduce, and increases the energy consumption.
To make ice cubes, fill ice tray 3/4 full with water and place it on the bottom of the freezer compartment. To remove ice cubes, hold the ice tray at its ends and twist gently.
Make sure foods that are not frozen do not touch the frozen foods. The frozen foods may melt.
The packing materials suitable for refrigerating the foods are
- Polyethylene bags, Plastic foil, freezing containers.
The suitable wrapping materials are
- Rubber band, Plastic clips, attaching tape, string. Before
sealing, get rid of air from packing bags and foil.The remained air makes the storing foods dry.
You can freeze foods quickly when packing is level. Do not store bottles in freezer compartment. They may break when frozen.
Note
Do not touch deep-frozen foods with wet hands. You could get chilblains on your hands.
To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray before twisting.

Care and Maintenance
Note
Never place electrical devices in the refrigerator for defrost. Take care when using defrosting sprays
for assisting defrosting. These sprays include substances containing explosive gas, or harmful for synthesis or human health.
Tips
It is helpful to place a saucepan with hot water inside of the freezing room in order to assist defrost.
Defrosting
Defrosting the fridge compartment
When the freezer is working, frost is formed at the rear wall of the fridge compartment and melts automatically when the compressor stops.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Humidity forms frost or ice in the freezer compartment while the appliance is working or when the freezer door is opened. The thick ice and frost decrease cool air and increase the energy consumption.
Defrost Ice Layer
If the freezer compartment is heavily iced, defrost as follows.
- Remove the frozen food, wrap in newspaper and store in a cool place.
- Leave the door open, and wipe out water with a sponge.
- Dry the freezer compartment thoroughly, turn on the appliance, and replace frozen foods.

Warning
Cleaning
Always remove plugs or Switch off supply before cleaning.
Do not use sharp objects (such as knife, screwdriver) which could break refrigerant circuit resulting in environmental and health risks.
Never use steam cleaner or steam pressure cleaner since hot steam may damage refrigerator surface and electrical devices. Never use sand, abrasive detergent, acid or chemical solvent.
The freezer compartment should be cleaned at least once a month.
The most appropriate time for cleaning of the freezer compartment is a time after defrosting.
Clean refrigerator including inside devices with clothes or lukewarm water. You may use commercial detergent for tableware.
Frequently clean the water drain inlet on the inside rear side of refrigerator. Clean the drain inlet using objects like a toothpick so that the drain inlet is not clogged. Care should be taken so that cleaning water does not overflows in the drain tub.
Regularly clean the heat exchanger on the rear side of refrigerator using a smooth brush so that accumulations of dusts and residues. Do not disrupt expansion from the inside and cause increased energy consumption.
Any damage to the heat exchanger or other events leading to the exposure of the refrigerant to the environment, should be avoided because of potential environment and health risks.

Care and Maintenance
Going away
General Information
When you plan to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave the door OPEN to prevent odor formation.
Power failure
Anti-condensation
pipe
Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is OFF. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages.
If you move
Remove all items inside the refrigerator or securely fasten all loose items. To avoid damaging the leveling screw, turn them all the way into the base.
The Anti-condensation pipe is installed around the front side of fridge-freezer to prevent dewing.
Especially after installation or when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot, which is quite normal.
