Suggestion on food storage

Storing food

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.

NOTE

Do not touch deep-frozen foods with wet hands.
You could get chilblains on your hands.

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.

Making Ice

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.

Tips

To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray
before twisting.

Care and Maintenance

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.

Tips

NOTE

It is helpful to place a saucepan with hot water inside
of the freezing room in order to assist defrost.

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.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

Warning

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.
