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, cover food 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, causing
temperatures to rise.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
�
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
�
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This deteriorates 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.
�
Avoid storing any food close to the bottom area of the freezer shelf to keep efficient air circulation.
�
It is recomended to load food at least 25mm for type A or 15mm for type B against back of
freezer wall, it will keep good air circulation in the freezer compartment (see page 12).
�
Freezer Door Basket, marked (
storage of frozen food (optional).
) is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for short term
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
�
Avoid placing moist food deep inside refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon 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. Always store them in a upright
position, which keeps them fresh longer.

CLEANING
GENERAL INFORMATION
VACATION TIME
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.
When you plan to be away for an extended period,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the
interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN
to prevent odor formation.
POWER FAILURE
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.
DRY ICE WARNING
When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO
2
).
When it vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing
dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness, and
death by suffocation.
Open a window and do not breathe the vapors.
Be sure the soda is completely dissolved to avoid
scratching the inside of the refrigerator (freezer).
Secure any loose items, such as racks, bins, ice
trays, etc. Do not try to move a loaded refrigerator.
ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may
sometimes get warm,
especially just after

Don't be alarmed.
This is due to the
anti-condensation pipe,
which pumps hot refrigerant
to prevent sweating on the
outer cabinet wall.
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to
prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be
wiped up 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.
