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.

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 the 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.
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.
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.
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.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Before you call for service, check the following points.
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).
4
• 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.
