The higher the number the Freezer setting is set to, the lower the temperature of the freezer compartment will become.
Since the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer compartments is controlled with a fixed amount of cooled air, the refrigerator compartment will be warmer if the freezer compartment becomes colder.
When the freezer compartment is not cold enough in summer, adjust the control in the freezer to High (4~5) for type A or (3~4) for type B.
Setting the Freezer dial at (4~5) for type A or (3~4) for type B will maintain a low temperature in the freezer. But the Refrigerator's cooling speed will be reduced. When set to (4~5) for type A or (3~4) for type B during
hotter climates, it may also be necessary to adjust the refrigerator compartment temperature to a cooler
temperature
Knob for type B is for quick freezing in the freezer compartment. The refrigerator can be operated
continuously or the refrigerator compartment can be warmer. When the quick freezing is finished, please return to set the Knob at Normal

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 13).
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.
