USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Final checks before operating the appli-
ance
1. Good air circulation around the appliance
positioned.
2. The feet have been adjusted for perfect
levelling.
3. Clean the compartment per recommenda-
tion in section “Care and Maintenance”.
4. Plug in the appliance and interior light will
come on when the door is open.
Important: The compressor starts up and in
operation may produce some background
noise and it is normal, this is not a defect.
Storing fresh food
• Use the fridge compartment to store fresh
food and drinks.
• Do not exceed the food capacity that the
appliance able to handle.
• Do not put warm food to the appliance
immediately as it may cause excessive
cooling of the compartment.
• Set the temperature knob at medium po-
sition for storing fresh food.
• Do not mix already frozen food and fresh
food.
The following guidelines and recommenda-
tions are suggested to obtain the best results
and storage hygiene.
• Frequent door openings can cause inter-
nal temperature rise so the door shall be
closed as soon as possible after use.
• For hygiene reasons, it is always a good
practise to pack, wrap and cover the food
before storing.
• Use a polythene bag to store raw meat
and place on the lowest shelf. Avoid con-
tact with cooked food to prevent contam-
ination. For safety reason, store raw meat
for two to three days only.
• Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight
covered containers.
• Food and beverages shall cool to room
temperature before storing.
• Most vegetables should be blanched and
chilled before freezing.
• Bottles can be placed in the door section.
• Some fruits and vegetables like pineap-
ples, melons, tomatoes, and cucumbers
shall be wrapped in polythene bags.
• Do not leave frozen food at room temper-
ature to thaw. You could defrost the food
by putting it in the fridge to thaw slowly.
Make sure you avoid defrosting food or
food juices drip onto other food.
Energy saving tips
• Cover all food stored, and arrange it so
that cold air can circulate freely.
• Higher cold setting will use more energy.
Do not set to maximum cold if it is not
necessary.
• Cool the hot/warm food to room tempera-
ture before put them into your fridge.
• Frequently open and close door would
cause internal temperature rise and it will
consume more energy.
• Close the door(s) properly, and make sure
the seals and hinges are airtight. Check
the seals by putting a sheet of paper
between the door and the main body of
the fridge. If the paper moves, your seals
need replacing.
We recommend a maximum weight of 10kg
per shelf for storage of goods
