CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
DEFROSTING
• DEFROSTING THE FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in
unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest
parts of the evaporator and in time will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool
at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation
in the refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages
can stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fi sh(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic)
which you will use in 1-2 days,in the bottom section of the refrigerator
compartment(that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will
ensure the best storing conditions.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
Some recommendations have been specifi ed below for the placement and storage
of your food in the cooling compartment.
NOTE:
Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
• Defrosting occurs fully automatically in fridge compartment during
operation; the defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates
automatically.
• The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf )
should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the
bottom of the fridge instead of fl owing out.
• DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be
removed periodically.
• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the
refrigerant circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic
scraper provided.
• When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be
carried out.
• Before defrosting, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping it in
sheets of newspaper (this will help the food to maintain it’s tempertaure for
longer).
• To accelerate the defrosting
process, place one or more bowls
of warm water in the freezer
compartment.
• Dry the inside of the compartment
with a sponge or a clean cloth.
• Once the unit has been defrosted,
place the food into freezer and
remember to consume it in a
short period of time.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing the
frozen food for a long time and for producing ice.
• To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves
for upper and middle section. For bottom section, please use lower basket.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, Set
the refrigerator at 4 for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 5 for 24 hours is
generally suffi
cient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.
• Please do not place the food you shall newly freeze nearby the already frozen
food.
• You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, fi sh, etc.) by
dividing them into portions in such a way that they can be consumed once.
• Please do not refreeze the frozen food once they are thawed. It may pose a
danger for your health since it might cause problems such as food poisoning.
• Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You
would cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze to become
putrefi ed.
• When you buy frozen food, makes sure that they were frozen under appropriate
conditions and the package is not torn.
• While storing the frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should
certainly be observed. If there is not any explanation, the food must be
consumed within the shortest time possible.
• If there had been humidifi cation in the frozen food package and it has a foul
smell, the food might have been stored under unsuitable conditions previously
and gone rotten. Do not purchase this type of foods!
• The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the ambient
temperature, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat
settings, food type and the time elapsed from the purchase time of the food
to the time it is placed into the freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the
package and never exceed the indicated storage duration.
