SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD

Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important
factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.

Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and
melons.

Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food,
and lead to higher electric bills!

When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in 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 chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures
even.

Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause
temperatures to rise.

In the event of a blackout, call the electricity company and ask how long it is going to last.

-You should avoid door openings while the power is off.

-When the power supply gets back to normal, check the condition of the food.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the

door rack.
Freezer section marked is -12C compartment/section, that is suitable for short term storage

of frozen food(optional).

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator
shelves, it could freeze by direct contact with chilled
air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered
container.

It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable
and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is
necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it
close to the door away from the back wall of the
refrigerator to avoid being frozen by direct contact with chilled air.

Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and
packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.

When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a
upright position, which keeps them fresh for longer time.

If there are chill compartments in the appliance, do not store vegetables and fruits with higher
moisture content in the chill compartments as they may freeze due to the lower temperature.

18

CLEANING

It is important that your refrigerator is kept clean to
prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be
wiped immediately, since it may acidify and
stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.

Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes,
coarse abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline
solutions on any surface.

Before you clean, remember that damp
objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold
surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with
wet or damp hands.

EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild
soap or dish washable solution to clean the
durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a
clean, damp cloth and then dry.

INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and
interior parts is recommended. Use a lukewarm
solution of mild soap or dish washable solution to
clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe
with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.

INTERIOR PARTS - Wash compartment
shelves, door racks, storage trays and magnetic
door seals etc. Use a lukewarm solution of mild
soap or dish washable solution to clean the
durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a
clean, damp cloth and then dry.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING

Always remove power cord from the wall
outlet prior to cleaning. Wipe excess
moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent
water or liquid from getting into any electrical
part and causing electric shock. Do not use
flammable or toxic cleaning liquids.

Caution for Cleaning - Not to use: Surface
active agent, Car wax, Anti-corrosive, All
sorts of oil, Gasoline, Acids, Wax.

Mild detergents, dish washable
solutions and soapy water can be used

Careless usage can lead to colour change.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two
and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.
During power failures of longer duration, place a
block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages.

IF YOU MOVE

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn
them all the way into the base.

ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may
sometimes get warm, especially just after
installation.

Don't be alarmed.
This is due to the anti­condensation pipe, which
pumps hot refrigerant to
prevent "sweating" on the
outer cabinet wall.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
either unplug the refrigerator or turn off power
at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

NOTE : Moving the control to OFF position
does not remove power from the light circuit.
