SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
Storing Food
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as banana, and melon.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
• When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause temperature to rise.
• To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature control dial.
• Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may stop the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
Note
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid place, frequently open its door or put a lot of vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no effect on its performance. Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

Care and Maintenance
• 1~2 hour power failure does no harm to the foods stores. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too frequently.
• Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix the loose items with tape.
• Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch the floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.
• The Anti-Condensation pipe is installed around the front side of fridge-freezer as well as on the partition between fridge compartment and freezer compartment to prevent dewing.
• Especially after installation or when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot, which is quite normal.
