Caring for your refrigerator
We recommend storing food in containers with lids, wrapped in or
stored in air light materials such as aluminum foil, plastic containers or
plastic wrap.
Do not store hot foods in the fresh food compartment or freezer. You
should wait until they have cooled down to room temperature.
Only open the doors for the time necessary to store or remove food
items or drinks. By doing this you will reduce energy consumption and
improve the performance of your refrigerator.
It may be difficult to open the door again after having opened and
closed it to introduce or remove foods. This is normal due to the vacuum
that forms in the interior of the refrigerator caused by the exchange of
air at different temperatures. If this happens, wait 10 to 15 seconds
before trying again and the doors should open easily.
Always store onions in a plastic bag or a hermetically-sealed container
to prevent their odor from penetrating other foods.
Do not store garlic inside your refrigerator as a cold, dark environment
promotes its germination. Store foods in small quantities in the freezer
as this facilitates quicker and more effective freezing.
We recommend placing food that you would like to freeze rapidly or ice
cubes on the freezer shelf.
Always take note of the manufacture’s expiring date on frozen
products.
Once food has been defrosted, it cannot be frozen.
Liquids increase in volume when frozen. For this reason, do not fill
recipients up to the brim with liquids.
Do not store closed glass recipients containing liquids in the freezer.
Cleaning your refrigerator
Always disconnect the refrigerator plug from the outlet before
cleaning or starting a technical revision.
1) Never use toxic products (ammonia, etc), abrasive products
(pastes) or fibers as they can damage the refrigerator.
Use a soft sponge or a cloth, which has been soaked in water and
a mild soap. Rinse and dry with a clean, dry cloth. You can also use
a solution of one spoon of bicarbonate of soda and two litters of
warm water to clean the interior.
Do not use fibers or sharp or pointed objects which can scratch
your refrigerator or the interior shelves.
2) To clean the condenser ( on the models which have them), use
a brush, cloth or sponge to eliminate accumulated dust. Do this at
least every six months..
During the cleaning, do not let accumulated liquid filter into the
interior or the refrigerator as this could damage the unit. Dry well.
