Tips for storing food
It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and,
whether possible, at -
18°C in the freezer compartment.
For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is
achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh
fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is
suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not
present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This
storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference
temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars
-18°C)
background
4. Maintenance and care of the appliance
4.1 Overall cleaning
Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and

Heat the door seal and then cool ii for restoration
(or blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating)
There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains
too much water,resulting in heavy defrosting
The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry
of air and increased water due to defrosting
Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which is normal.
When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature and
storage of too much food,it is recommended to provide sound ventilation
to facilitate heat dissipation.
Condensation on the exterior suace and door seals of the refrigerator
S
urface condensation
is normal when the ambient humidity is too
high. Just wipe the condensate
with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise

Middle drawer for frozen vegetables, chips.
Top tray for ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked
goods.
It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether
possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is achieved
with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables)
may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper
drawers, whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage
time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the
compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°
