OPERATION

ENGLISH

•  Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has 

a permissible range in the appliance 

specifications. If you wish to minimise the impact 

on the food storage due to a temperature rise, 

seal or wrap the stored food in several layers.

Storing Foods Effectively

•  Food may freeze or spoil if stored at the wrong 

temperature. Set the refrigerator to the correct 

temperature for the food being stored.

•  Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside 

sealed containers.

•  Check the expiration date and label (storage 

instructions) before storing food in the 

appliance.

•  Do not store food for a long period of time if it 

spoils easily at a low temperature.

•  Do not place unfrozen food in direct contact with 

food that is already frozen. It could be necessary 

to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing 

every day is anticipated.

•  Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in 

each fridge or freezer compartment 

immediately after purchasing.

•  Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in 

the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or 

drip onto other food.

•  Refrigerated foods and other food items can be 

stored on top of the vegetable drawer.

•  Avoid refreezing any food which has been 

completely thawed. Freezing any food which has 

been completely thawed again will lower its taste 

and nutrition.

•  Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not 

circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.

•  Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot 

food is placed inside, the internal temperature of 

the appliance can increase and negatively affect 

other foods stored in the appliance.

•  If you set an excessively low temperature for 

food, it may become frozen. Do not set a 

temperature lower than the required 

temperature for the food to be stored correctly.

•  If there are chill compartments in the appliance, 

do not store vegetables and fruits with higher 

moisture content in the chill compartments as 

they may freeze due to the lower temperature.

•  In the event of a blackout, call the electricity 

company and ask how long it is going to last.
-  You should avoid door openings while the 

power is off.

-  When the power supply gets back to normal, 

check the condition of the food.

Maximum Freezing Capacity

• 

Express Freeze

 must be switched on for 7 hours 

before fresh products are placed in the freezer 

compartment.

•  To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts 

like baskets and shelves.

NOTE

•  The max freezing capacity of your appliance is 

stated on the rating label inside the fridge 

compartment.

•  To have the maximum freezing capacity, we 

recommend that you set the freezer 

temperature to the coldest temperature setting.

Freezing the Maximum Amount 

of Food

If large quantities of food are to be stored, all the 

freezer drawers should be taken out of the 

appliance and the food should be stacked directly 

on the freezer shelves in the freezer compartment.

CAUTION

•  To remove the drawers, first remove the food 

from drawers and then pull out the drawers 

carefully. Not doing so could cause injury or 

damage to the drawers.

NOTE

•  The shape of each drawer may be different, 

insert in the right position.
