To select a lower temperature: Turn clockwise
To select a higher temperature: Turn anticlockwise
Turn temperature regulator counterclockwise to the lowest
setting=lightest cooling;
(Turn the regulator counterclockwise to the most will
power off the refrigerator, compressor will stop)
Turn temperature regulator counterclockwise to the
highest setting=coldest setting;
Temperature setting should conform to the following
conditions:
y
Ambient temperature;
y
Quantity of food stored;
y
Door openings;
Through observation, you’ll soon learn how to select an
appropriate temperature setting.
Appropriate temperature setting is very important for food
storing. Microbes can get food spoiled very quickly, unless
there growth is sprouted by low temperature environment.
It is recommended to set the temperature to 5°C or lower
which may effectively eliminate food spoiling process by
microbes.
d). Stopping
Turn temperature regulator counterclockwise to the most.
The compressor should stop by then.
Unplug from wall outlet.
7. Freezer compartment (not
available in some models, only
for refrigerators with 4-star
marking)
3-star or 4-star freezer are suitable for storing deep frozen
food (already frozen before added to the freezer), storing
fresh food for a short period (2-3 weeks) by freezing it, or
making ice, ice cream and water ice.
Recommended expiration date of food must be observed.
Freezer can be used to produce ice cubes.
1 Temperature within the freezer can be adjusted by
setting temperature regulator. For fresh food and
food which needs to be stored for a long period,
-18°C or below is recommended, as microbes can
barely survive under this temperature. Once
temperature is higher than -10°C, microbes will start
to cause spoiling of food, and storage period of food
will be effectively reduced. If you need to freeze food
which is already partly or totally thawed, please cook
it before adding it to the freezer again. The high
temperature of cooking process can eliminate most
microbes.
2 The higher the temperature regulator is set, the
lower the temperature within the freezer will be.
3 Normally, when food requires only short period of
storage, select a medium setting.
4 Normally, when food requires a long period of
storage, select a high setting.
NOTE!
y
Never add caned or bottled carbon dioxide drinks to
the freezer, as carbon dioxide may expand when under
freezing, and lead to explosion hazard.
y
Bottled food which needs immediate cooling should be
stored in the freezer for no more than one hour before
they’re taken out, otherwise bottles may burst.
y
Ice cream or water ice should be allowed several
minutes before using, as lips and tongue may get
frostbite (chap may occur in skin). Meanwhile, avoid
touching inner walls of freezer with wet hands.
IMPORTANT!
y
Food to be added to freezer must be well wrapped.
y
Observe expiration date of frozen food.
y
Only fresh food in high quality is suitable for freezing
storage.
y
Food stored in freezer should be properly sized.
y
Weight of a single package of frozen food should not
exceed 2 kg.
y
Please use reusable plastic film, aluminum film for
packing food, or put food in containers.
y
Food packages should not entrap too much air inside.
y
Use bungee, clip, rope or freezing-resistant tape for
sealing of food package.
y
Film welding device can be used to seal the plastic
packages.
y
Place the wide side of food package downward to
obtain a faster freezing process.
y
Wipe the packages dry before adding them to the
freezer, as they may stick together when frozen.
y
If you need to freeze food which is already partly or
totally thawed, please cook it before adding it to the
freezer again.
y
Don’t use food which is already expired, as they may
cause poisoning.
