Frozen foods
(Small size)
Frozen foods
(Big size)
Vegetables
Fruits
Dairy products
Small foods
Eggs etc.
Bottles etc.
(Big size)
Meat, Fish, Poultry etc.
Vegetables are improper ●
in this case. They may
be frozen.
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximise 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
place in the vegetable crisper and fruit case.
If you store a lot of vegetables, dew may form. This has no
effect on the operation or the performance. Use a dry cloth
to remove the dew.
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 tray.•
Meats / Fish / Poultry
Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic •
wrap.
For larger cuts of meat, fi sh, or poultry, place to the rear of •
the shelves.
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an •
airtight container.
NOTE
Evenly place the food on the shelves •
to allow the cooling air to circulate
effi ciently.
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.
Keep the door securely closed.•
IN
OUT
Do not place food directly in front of cold air
outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.
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 sealed, sealed tightly or covered.•
Evenly place the food in the freezer.•
Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen •
food.

CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
Unplug the refrigerator fi rst to prevent electric shock. ■
Do not splash water directly on the outer cabinet or ■
the interior. This may lead to rusting and deterioration
of the electrical insulation.
IMPORTANT
To prevent cracking on inside surfaces and plastic
components, follow these tips.
Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components.•
Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use •
only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).
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 as acid •
or alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining of
plastic parts.
Remove the accessories e.g. shelves from the cabinet
and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water;
1
rinse in clean water and dry.
Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off
