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.
Arranging food
- Store the food products that give off odor in closed
containers and wrap.
- Use aluminum foil, plastic foil and metal or glass
containers as the packing material for foods.
- Allow warm foods to cool down sufficiently before
placing inside the appliance.
- Keep high-proof alcoholic beverages in airtight bottles
and upright position.
- Do not store the products (melon, banana, pineapple
etc) which are likely to go bad at low temperature.
<Refer to the Figure of page 7>
Bread, ready-cooked meals.
Meat, Sausages, Slice products.
Vegetables, Fruit, Salad produce.
Butter, Cheese.
Small glasses or bottles, cans, spices.
Eggs.
Large beverage bottles.
Make sure the door is closed properly.

Care and Maintenance
Defrosting
Defrosting the fridge compartment
When the refrigerator is working, frost is formed at the
rear wall of the fridge compartment and melts
automatically when the compressor stops. The thawed
water is collected in the discharge gutter and evaporates
by heat of the compressor.
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.
