Suggestions on food storage
24
•
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
•
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food
in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to
higher electric bills.
•
When storing the food, use 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
cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
•
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets
warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause
temperature to rise.
•
Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
stop the door from fully closing.
•
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment,
Miracle Zone or snack bin they may break when frozen.
•
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes
loss of taste and nutrition.
•
Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific materials
or other temperature sensitive products in the refrigerator.
Products that require strict temperature controls must
not be stored in the refrigerator.
•
If you want to quick freeze new food, you put it middle
drawer of freezer compartment, and then press the
Super Freezer button.
•
Do not put in front of the air hole of the upper drawer of
freezer compartment. It could decrease freezer capacity.
Caution
Storing Food
Suggestions on food storage
25
•
To ensure good air circulation in the appliance, insert
the freezer drawers all the way.
•
If large quantities of food are to be stored in the freezer,
a middle drawer of freezer compartment can be taken
out of the appliance and the food can be stored directly
right over the food stacked from the lower drawer.
To remove a freezer drawer, pull out all the way, lift at
the front and remove.
Note
If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid place,
frequently open its door or put a lot of vegetables in it, dew
may form in it, which has no effect on its performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.
Care and Maintenance
26
•
Especially after installation or
when ambient temperature
is high, the fridge-freezer
may feel hot, which is quite normal.
•
The Anti-Condensation pipe
is installed around the front
side of fridge-freezer as well
as on the partition between
fridge compartment and
freezer compartment to
prevent dewing.
General Information
Power Failure
•
