CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration
cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat
may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages
on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
NOTE
: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your

CHAPTER -5: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it.
Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps for cleaning the appliance. After washing, rinse with clean
water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned regularly using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase
productivity.
The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning.
Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment
during operation. The water is collected by the evaporation tray and
evaporates automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned
periodically with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from
collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring half a glass of water
down it.
