Snack Drawer Store small foods such as bread, snacks, etc. Freezer compartment shelf Store various frozen foods such as meat, fish, ice cream, frozen snacks, etc. Freezer compartment door rack Freezer compartment drawer Dairy compartment Store dairy products such as butter, cheese, etc. Egg box Store small packaged frozen food. Temperature is likely to increase as door opens. So, do not store long-term food such as ice cream. Store meat, fish, chicken, etc. after wrapping them with aluminum. Place this egg box in the proper location. Home bar Store frequently accessed foods such as beverage, etc.. Refrigerator compartment shelf Store side dishes or other foods at a proper distance from each other for effective cooling. Refrigerator compartment door rack Store small packaged food or beverages such as milk, juice, beer, etc.. Vegetable compartment Store vegetables or fruits. Vegetable compartment/fre sh compartment conversion corner Store vegetable, fruits, meat to thaw, fish, etc. setting the conversion switch as necessary. Be sure to check the conversion switch setting before storing foods. 19 Suggestion on Food storage Storing Foods 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, and melons. Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher energy consumption. 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. Please keep a distance at least 15 mm from the air vents to food. Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise. Never keep too much food in door rack because they may push against by inner racks so that the door cannot be fully closed. Freezer compartment Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen. Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient. When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack. Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metallic -, with wet hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment. - That’s why you may have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters are frozen, causing personal injury. Refrigerator compartment Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct contact with chilled air. Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer. NOTE • 20 If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, and frequently open the door or put a lot of vegetables in it, moisture may form in it which has no effect on its performance. Just wipe the moisture with a cloth free. Care and Maintenance How to Dismantle Parts NOTE • Dismantling is done in the reverse sequence of assembly.
