SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
21
STORING FOOD
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an
important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples,
and melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other
food, and lead to higher electric bills!
When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents
moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and
causes temperatures to rise.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Avoid placing moist food deeply positioned on the
refrigerator shelf, it could freeze upon direct contact
with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in
a covered container.
It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable
and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is
necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it
close to the door away from the back wall of the
refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating air in the refrigerator.
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped,
and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them
in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.

GENERAL INFORMATION
VACATION TIME
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.
When you plan to be away for an extended period,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean
the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN
to prevent odor formation.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two
and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off. During power
failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on
top of your frozen packages.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn them
all the way into the base.
ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may
sometimes get warm,
especially just after
installation.
Don't be alarmed.
This is due to the anti-
condensation pipe, which
pumps hot refrigerant to
prevent "sweating" on the
outer cabinet wall.
Caution
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
either unplug the refrigerator or turn off
power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
NOTE :Moving the control to the OFF position

It is recommended to install the earth to prevent electric shock in
case of electricity leakage.
How to connect the earth wire:
Connect the earth wire's metal ring end to the earth screw
on the back of the refrigerator.
Do not connect the earth wire to the following locations.
Gas pipe
It could produce sparks which lead to fire and explosion.
Telephone earth wire and lightning rod
It is dangerous during lightning.
Water pipe and water tap
The earth wire connection will not work when the middle of the water pipe is made of plastic.
When installing the product in a humid or wet location, you must install the earth wire.
Ex) • Unfloored or dirt floored room (Room with dirt and no floor), concrete floor
• Location where it can get wet such as near the sink
• Location where water can leak or is humid such as basement
• Other wet or humid location
Especially, for locations where it always get wet such as near the restaurant sink, you are obligated by
the law to install a circuit breaker in addition to the earth wire.
After consulting with your retailer or electric construction company, you must do the earth wire
