STORING FOOD
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 fruit and vegetable crisper.
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.•
To set sound “ON”
Press the key and key simultaneously and
continuously for 3 seconds or more.
Beep beep beep
The indication will
disappear.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic •
wrap.
For larger cuts of meat, 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 efciently.
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.

--- 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 owing uid (gurgling sound, zzing sound) •
--- Sound of refrigerant owing in pipes (sound may become louder from time to time).
Cracking or crunching sound, squeaking sound •
--- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during
cooling.
This may occur in one of the following cases. Use a wet cloth for wiping frost and a dry
cloth for wiping condensation.
When the ambient humidity is high.•
When the door is frequently opened and closed.•
When food containing plenty of moisture is stored. (Wrapping is required.)•
