OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Operation - Temperature regulation
To control the internal temperature, adjust the thermostat dial. “1” is the
warmest setting. “7” is the coldest. The Dial may be set any place on the
scale. It does not have to be set exactly on a number. To make ice cubes
in the freezer compartment, adjust the thermostat to the coldest setting.
Note:
Wait 3-5 minutes before restarting if you unplug the freezer. The unit may fail to operate
properly if restarted too quickly.
Storing food and drink
For optimal use of the refrigerator compartment observe the following instructions:
1. Never put hot liquids or food in the refrigerator;
2. Cover or wrap food prior to storage
3. Arrange food so that air can circulate freely inside the compartment.
Cooked food, cold meals etc. must be covered well and stored in proper position in the refrigerator.
Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the relative drawer.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator unless wrapped first.
Storing frozen food/freezing fresh food
Appliances with compartments can be used to store frozen food for a maximum time of one month.
1. The interval between purchase and placing the food in the freezer should be as short as possible.
2. Never exceed the storage period indicated on the food packaging.
3. Only open the freezer door when necessary and as quick as possible.
In the event of operation after prolonged periods of disuse, switch on the appliance under no-load conditions
for 2-3 hours taking care to set the thermostat knob to the highest setting, then place food in the refrigerator as
required and adjust the thermostat knob to an intermediate setting.
IMPORTANT
If food stored in the compartment is defrosted, e.g. due to a power failure, it should be consumed within a
short time, even if not completely thawed.
The care required for best performance, such as
1) Loadings in the refrigerating appliance should not exceed its storage volume. If the refrigerating appliance
stopped for a long time (due to interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system), the
frozen food (fresh food) had better to be disposed of according to user’s need.
2) It is better to arrange the food when storage, to avoid cross-contamination.
3)
Some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold; therefore they are not suitable for storage in
chill compartment.
Defrosting food
For optimal cooking results with frozen food, we recommend defrosting inside the refrigerator or at ambient
temperature, the latter obviously required less time. If you need to save time and cook food in the shortest time,
