Power Cool
Power Cool speeds up the cooling process at maximum fan speed. The fridge keeps running at full speed
for two and a half hours and then returns to the previous temperature.
Power Freeze
Power Freeze speeds up the freezing process at maximum fan speed. The freezer keeps running at full
speed for 50 hours and then returns to the previous temperature. To freeze large amounts of food, activate
Power Freeze for at least 20 hours before putting food in the freezer.
NOTE
When you use this function the energy consumption of the refrigerator will increase. Remember to turn it
off when you don’t need it and return the freezer to your original temperature setting.
How to store for best preservation (applicable models only)
Cover foods to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors from other foods. A large pot of
food like soup or stew should be divided into small portions and put in shallow containers before being
refrigerated. A large cut of meat or whole poultry should be divided into smaller pieces or placed in shallow
containers before refrigerating.
Placement of Foods
Shelves Shelves should be adjustable to accommodate a variety of packages.
Specialized compartment
(applicable models only)
Sealed crisper drawers provide an optimal storage environment for fruits
and vegetables. Vegetables require higher humidity conditions while fruits
require lower humidity conditions.
Crispers are equipped with controls devices to control the humidity level.
(*Depending on model and options) An adjustable temperature meat
drawer maximizes the storage time of meats and cheeses.
Stored on the door
Don’t store perishable foods in the door. Eggs should be stored in the
carton on a shelf. The temperature of the storage bins in the door fluctuate
more than the temperature in the cabinet. Keep the door closed as much
as possible.
Freezer Compartment
You can store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the
freezer compartment.
NOTE
Freeze fresh, undamaged food only. Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.
To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.
