STORING FOOD
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maxi-
mize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that
the food is of the freshest possible quality. The following is a
general guide to help promote longer food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be
loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not
seal) and place in the Vegetable crisper. Those fruits and veg-
etables with thick skins e.g. oranges do not require wrapping.
Dairy Products & Eggs
•
Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer
packaging which informs the recommended tempera-
ture and shelf life of the product.
•
Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
•
Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic wrap.
•
For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear
of the shelves.
•
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
NOTE:
•
Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cool-
ing air to circulate efficiently.
•
Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot
foods increases the temperature in the unit and
increases the risk of food spoilage.
•
Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool
air circulating circuit with foods or contain-
ers; otherwise the foods will not be evenly
cooled throughout the fridge freezer.
FOR BEST FREEZING
•
Quality of foods should be fresh.
•
Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them
quickly.
•
Food should be properly stored or covered and the air
should be removed to seal tightly.
•
Evenly place the food in the freezer.
•
Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freez-
ing food.
CARE AND CLEANING
Some household cleaning chemicals may
affect the inside surfaces and plastic shelves
resulting in splitting or cracks occurring.
When cleaning all plastic parts inside
this fridge freezer, only use diluted dish-
washing liquid(soapy water). Make sure
that all plastic parts are thoroughly
rinsed with water after cleaning.
1.
Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and
door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water;
rinse in clean water and dry.
2.
Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy dish-
washing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off soapy water.
3.
Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
4.
Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
warm soapy dishwashing water.
5.
Whenever the fridge freezer is moved to clean or reposi-
tioned, the Evaporating pan should be removed and cleaned.

take the Evaporating pan off.
Please pay attention to the
safety since the compressor

NOTE:
•
Before starting cleaning, switch the fridge freezer off.
•
Never use steam cleaning machines, solvents or abrasive
detergents, which may damage the inside of your fridge
freezer. Do not place the inside fittings in the dishwasher.
•
The glass shelves weigh approximately 2kg each. Hold
firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.
Replacing method of the lamp bulb

Switching off your fridge freezer
If you switch your fridge freezer off when you are going
away for an extended period, remove all food, clean the
interior thoroughly. Remove the power cord plug from the
power socket and leave all doors open.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Before you call for service, check the following points.
IT IS NORMAL
for the fridge freezer to produce the follow-
ing sounds.
•
Loud noise produced by the compressor when opera-
tion starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while.
•
Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor --
- Operating sound produced immediately after auto-
matic defrost operation.
•
Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound) --
- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may
become louder from time to time).
•
Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by
expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal
parts during cooling.
•
Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and
contraction of internal parts.
IT IS NORMAL
that the outside of a cabinet may be hot
when touched. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to pre-
vent dew generation.
IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SERVICE
Refer to your nearest service agent.
