internal temperature toward warmer one to
allow automatic defrosting and so a saving
in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator.
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has
a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely
around it.
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
•
Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for
at most 1-2 days.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place
on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and
place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes,
onions and garlic must not be kept in the
refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight
container or wrap in an aluminium foil or
a polythene bag to exclude as much air as
possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on the
door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the
bottle rack.
Cautions for Use
•
The more food stuff put in or the more and
the longer for once the door is opened, the
more it needs electric consumption, which
even leads malfunction.
• Re-plug in the power plug at the interval of
over ten minutes.
• Do not store bottled drink in the freezer,
so as to prevent from being broken and
damaging the refrigerator.
• Open the door as less as possible during
power-cut.
• When defrosting, never use any sharp or
metallic objects to remove the frost on the
surface of the evaporator as it will damage
the evaporator.
• Do not touch foods and containers in the
freezing compartment with your wet hands
so as to prevent from being frostbitten.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hour is shown on the rating
plate.
•
The freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be added
during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it
to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw only
the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the packages
are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a
rise in temperature of the latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food.
• Water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
• It is advisable to show the freezing in date
on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• Make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer.
•
Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the food store to the
freezer in the shortest possible time.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly
and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated
by the food manufacturer.
