• If you plan on taking a long trip, make sure you remove all perishable food
before you leave to prevent any odors.
• Only freeze fresh, high-quality products. Meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruit,
dairy products and ready-made meals are suitable for freezing. Items with a
high water content, e.g. lettuce, radishes, grapes, apples, pears and
cucumbers, are not suitable for freezing.
Storing Food in the Freezer Compartment
• Pack items to be frozen in airtight containers, freezer bags or the like. Freeze
items in suitable portions. Do not freeze vegetables in portions larger than 5½
lbs. Do not freeze meat in portions larger than 5½ lbs. Keep packages dry to
prevent them from freezing together. To ensure rapid freezing, make sure, as
far as possible, that items placed in the freezer are not touching. Ensure that
there is as little air in the packages as possible to prevent the surfaces of the
items from drying out.
• Always remember to write the date, content and quantity on the packages
before placing them in the freezer.
Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment
The cooling unit (evaporator) in the refrigerator compartment is automatically
defrosted whenever the compressor motor stops running. No manual
defrosting is required. Frost may grow thick temporarily if the room
temperature is high or the door is opened frequently. Under normal
conditions, however, it will disappear after a period of operation.
:
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment should be kept free of frost for good freezing and
economical operation at low power consumption. Frost should not be allowed
to grow thicker than 1/8” to 1/4”.
:
• Scrape frost off the freezer
compartment walls with the scraper
supplied with your refrigerator. This
can be done without stopping
operation.
• After a long period of operation,
frost in the freezer compartment may become too hard to be removed
with the scraper. In this case, set the temperature control dial to
OFF ,
leave the freezer compartment door open for several minutes, and
wipe the freezer compartment walls clean of frost with a hot towel.
Afterwards, wipe the walls dry and reset the control dial.
