DEFROSTING
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving system. Whereby the defrost cycle start time
is proportional to the running time of your refrigerator compressor, i. e., the less time the refrigerator
compressor operates (during the winter season or you’re away on holidays), the longer the time between
each defrost cycle.
DEODORIZING UNIT
A built-in unit which requires no manual operation because it automatically starts operating when the
refrigerator is powered on.

•Weak or uneven floor.
• The back of the cabinet touching the wall.
IT IS NORMAL for the refrigerator to produce the following sounds.
• Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a
while.
• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor --- Operating sound produced immediately after
automatic defrost operation.
• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound) --- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound
may become louder from time to time).
• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and
internal parts during cooling.
• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of internal parts.
IT IS NORMAL that the outside of a cabinet may be hot when touched. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in
order to prevent dew generation.

STORING FOOD
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products,
ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality. The following is a general guide to help promote
longer food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables
should be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g.
wrap, bags ( do not seal ) and place in Vegetable
crisper. Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins
e.g. oranges do not require wrapping.
Dairy Products & Eggs
• Most dairy products have a use by date on the
outer packaging which informs the recommended
temperature and shelf life of the product.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
MILK
MILK
NOTE:
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before storing.
Storing hot foods increases the temperature
in the unit and increases the risk of food spoilage.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool
air circulating circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will not be evenly
cooled throughout the refrigerator.
Do not place food directly
in front of cold air outlet.
This may lead to the food
freezing.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or
plastic wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to
the rear of the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or
placed in an airtight container.
FOR BEST FREEZING
• Quality of foods should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them quickly.
• Food should be properly stored or covered and the air should be removed to seal tightly.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.
