Instructions (Cont.)
Fresh food storage
Use the fridge compartment for short-term storage of all your fresh food.
The temperature inside the fridge compartment is low enough to limit some
bacterial growth, but it is not suitable for long-term storage of perishable foods.
• Let hot food cool down to room temperature before storage. Otherwise the
cooling capacity will be affected and power consumption increased.
• Use sealed containers or plastic bags to prevent food from drying out,
losing its taste or taking on aromas from other foods.
• In both the fridge and the freezer compartments, keep enough space
around items for cold airflow. Do not block ventilation openings.
• Reducing the frequency and duration of door openings will increase the
appliance’s energy efficiency and reduce its power consumption.
• Pull out the drawers and shelves gently to prevent damage.
• Under certain conditions, fresh food may freeze in the fridge compartment.
To rectify if this happens:
• Set the temperature control to a middle level, if it was set to maximum
coldness.
• Set the temperature to the minimum level if the ambient (environmental)
temperature is lower than 5°C.
Crisper drawer
• The crisper drawer is designed to control humidity to keep your fruit and
vegetables fresh. Make sure to slide the drawer properly into place so the
crisper cover sits firmly on top.
• The glass cover has an opening at the top that you can adjust depending
on the contents. Fresh, leafy vegetables will stay crisp longer in a more
humid environment, so keep the opening closed; slide it open if you are
storing primarily fruit, or vegetables with skins, which require a lower
humidity than leafy vegetables.
Door racks and shelves
• Use the upper door racks for storing dairy foods, smaller jars and eggs (a
small egg rack is supplied).
• Jams, sauces, condiments and small bottles fit into the half-size door
racks, and drink cans on the specially designed can storage racks.
• The lower door shelf fits 2L bottles.
