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.

Freezer Door Basket, marked is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for short term storage of frozen 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.

Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position for freezing:

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon 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

Newly Introduced Food

Refrigerator

Shelf

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 the cool circulating in the refrigerator.

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 longer.

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.

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 anti-

condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall.
