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) and
placed in the Vegetable crisper or the Fruit case. 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.

IN
OUT

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 frozen

food.

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.

CARE AND CLEANING

Some household cleaning
chemicals can cause cracks,
splits or discolouration on the
inside surface of the refrigerator
and door liner.

Only use diluted dishwashing
liquid and ensure that all plastic

is wiped with fresh water after
cleaning.

1. Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and

door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water;
rinse in clean water and dry.

2. Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy

dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off
soapy water.

3. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.

4. Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and

warm soapy dishwashing water.

5. Wipe the control panel with the dry cloth.

NOTE:

• Do not use hot water, household cleaning powders,

creams or spray on cleaning products, or any other
cleaning products such as mineral turpentine,
methylated spirits, thinners, petrol etc. These may
damage your refrigerator and may void any warranty.

• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped
off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.

• Wipe any spills from the refrigerator immediately, acid or
alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining of
plastic parts.

• The glass shelves weigh approximately 3 kg each. Hold
firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.

• Wipe any spills from the control panel immediately, liquid
ingress can damage the electronics.

Replacing method of the lamp bulb

prevent dew formation.

squeaking, popping, crackling or gurgling sounds from time to time,
particularly during automatic defrosting. These sounds are quite normal, and
are generally caused by the compact design, range of operating temperatures
and the different rates of expansion and contraction of the various materials
used.

This may occur in one of the following cases. Use a wet cloth for wiping frost
and a dry cloth for wiping dew.

• When the ambient humidity is high.

• When the door is frequently opened and closed.

• When foods containing plenty of moisture are stored. (Wrapping is required.)

• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with refrigerator temp. control set
at 0°C?

• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with freezer temp. control set at

-21°C?

• Low ambient temperature may cause placed foods to freeze even if
refrigerator temp. control is set to 6°C.

• Deodorizing unit cannot remove all of smell.
