USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

This section tells you how to use most of the useful features.We recommend that you read through them carefully before using the appliance.

1. Using your refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storage of vegetables and fruit. Food inside should be packed to store in order to avoid losing moisture or flavor permeating into other foods

CAUTION

Never close the refrigerator door while the shelves, crisper and/or telescopic slides are extended. It may damage both them and the refrigerator.

Glass shelves and Door racks

The refrigerator compartment is provided with several glass shelves and several different door racks, which are suitable for the storage of eggs, canned liquid, bottled drinks and packed food. They can be placed at different heights according to your need. However, do not place too many heavy things in racks. Before you lift up the door bin vertically, please take the food out.

Drawer

This is suitable for storage of fruits and vegetables. And it can be taken out to be cleaned.

To take it out, open the door to the final location first. Then pull out the drawer and tilt up the front of the crisper after moving slightly in the direction.

2. Using the freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is provided with an upper drawer and a lower drawer. To remove all of them, refer to page 9 for disassembly instruction.

3. Automatic icemaker (Models with Ice Maker)

Icemaker makes Ice automatically.

CLEANING AND CARE

Exterior cleaning

To maintain good appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly.

Spray water onto a cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface.

Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Interior cleaning

You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of backing soda and water, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting them back into place. Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the freezer compartments interior walls if the freezer door is opened frequently or kept open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the freezer is nearly empty and proceed as follows:

1. Remove existing food and accessories baskets, unplug the appliance from the main power and leave the doors open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate the process.

2. When defrosting is completed, clean your freezer as described above.

Door gasket cleaning

Take care to keep door gasket clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause gasket to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash gasket with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.

Replacing the LED light

Warning: The LED light must be replaced by a competent person. If the LED light is damaged, follow the steps below:

1. Unplug your appliance.

2. Remove light cover by rising up and pulling out the LED light.

3. Hold the LED light with one hand and pull it with the other hand while pressing the connector latch.

4. Replace LED light and snap it correctly in place and recover the light cover.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Energy Saving Tips

We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.

Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc.)

Dont set the temperature colder than necessary.

Dont store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.

Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free, room. Please refer to Installing your New Appliance chapter.

If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.

Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.

Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

For Meat: (all types) wrap in cling wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.

Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:

They should be covered and placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables:

They should be stored in the special drawer provided.

Butter and cheese:

Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic film wrap.

Milk bottles:

Should have a lid and be stored in the door racks.

Hints for freezing

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.

Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.

Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or cling wraps which are airtight.

Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.

Iced products, (ice cubes, popsicles): if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin.

It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer

Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

Switching off your appliance

If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should be taken prevent mold on the appliance.

1. Remove all food.

2. Remove the power plug from the main socket.

3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly to allow air to circulate
