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 flavour.
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 a refrigerator could spoil
other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
- When storing 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 even.
* Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator
and causes temperatures to rise.
* Never keep too much food in the door rack as it may push against the inner racks so
that the door cannot fully close.
* Do not put items filled with water on the refrigerator.- If spilled, there is a risk of fire or
electric shock.
* Do not overfill the refrigerator with food. - When you open the door, an item may fall
out and cause personal injury or material damage.
* Do not put items filled with water on the refrigerator.- If spilled, there is a risk of fire or
electric shock.
* Do not place a lighted candle in the refrigerator for removing bad odors. - This may
result in electric shock or fire.
* Bottles should be stored tightly together so that they do not fall out.
* 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 nutrients.
* Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods.
. 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 cold foods or containers - especially metallic containers - with wet hands
or place glass products in the freezer compartment.
- You may get chill blains, and glass containers may break when frozen, causing
personal injury.
+ Avoid placing sauces on top refrigerator shelves, which could freeze on 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
- If you keeping the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequently open the door or
store a lot of vegetables, dew may form. This has no effect on operation or
performance. Remove the dew with an absorbent dry cloth.
e
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 not to operate,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave
each door OPEN to prevent odour formation.
And won't use water or ice dispensers, close the water valve. - Otherwise, water
leakage may occur.
Power failure Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the
power is off.
If the products equipped with LED Lamp, do not disassemble Lamp Cover and LED
Lamp by yourself. - Please contact your service agents.
If you move Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid
damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.
Anti The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just
condensation after installation. Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which
pipe pumps through the refrigerator to prevent “sweating” on the outer cabinet wall.
Understanding Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didnt make. Because the
sounds you sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds
may hear are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem
louder than they describes the kinds of actually are. The following sounds and what
may be making them:
* The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The
thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click
when cycling on and off.
* Rattling noises may come from the flow of reftigerant, the water line, or items stored
on top of the refrigerator.
* You refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the
desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator
to run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
* You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and
freezer compartments.
* As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due the refrigerant flowing in your
refrigerator.
» Contraction cause a popping noise to and expansion of the inside walls may a popping
noise.
» Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling
sound.
* You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
* You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

A WARNING
A CAUTION
Care and maintenance
Suggestion for energy saving
* Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
* Storing too much food is not recommended. Sufficient space should be left to ensure
proper air circulation.
* Do not set the temperature of fridge freezer lower than needed. Do not put food near
the temperature sensors. Keep the distance of at least 5mm from the sensors.
* Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge freezer could
affect other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
Do not block air vents. Smooth circulation of cold air maintains the appropriate
temperature.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-
freezer, and causes the temperature to rise.
The configuration of shelves, baskets and drawers supplied by the manufacturer is the
most efficient in terms of energy saving
Cleaning
lt is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odours. Spilled
food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if
allowed to settle.
Use a luke warm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your
refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.
Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments with a baking soda solution
or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.
Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or
power plug is well inserted into the wall outlet socket.
Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning near to electrical
equipment (lamps, switches, controls, etc.). Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or
cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing an
electric shock. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners,
strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not
touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick to
extremely cold surfaces.
* Do not directly spray water inside or outside the refrigerator. - There is a risk of fire
or electric shock.
* Do not spray cleaning products directly on the display. - Printed letters on the display
may come off.
* Remove any foreign matter or dust from the power plug pins. But do not use a wet
or damp cloth when cleaning the plug, remove any foreign material or dust from the
power plug pins. - Otherwise there is a risk of fire or electric shock.
