Storage of fresh food in the refrigerator
Food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in bags or
stored in airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and prevent
the strong smell of some foods transferring to milder ones.
To store raw meat wrap in polythene bags or airtight containers and place on
the lowest shelf.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only
store raw meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the crisper drawer.
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf
on the door.
Store frozen food
When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, turn the thermostat
temperature control to setting 7 for at least two hours before introducing the
food to be stored, then adjust to your preferred setting.
All frozen food products you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon
as possible to avoid the frozen food from defrosting.
Storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the
manufactures should always be followed.
Freezing fresh food (Freezer)
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic
conditions, as freezing alone does not sterilise the food. Never put hot or even
warm foodstuffs into the freezer. Prior to storing the food, pack it in plastic bags,
aluminum foil or freezer containers and place into the freezer without putting
them in contact with food that has already been frozen.
See the technical data sheet at the rear of this booklet for the maximum
permissible amount in kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen in any 24-hour
period with a room temperature of 25
℃
. Never freeze more than the
maximum permissible for a given 24 hours period.
Note: There are load limit lines as shown in right photo in the freezer
compartment. Never put food outside the load lines where the
desired temperature can not be reached.
Making ice cubes
Pour water into the ice cube tray until it is two thirds full and place into the
freezer. Ice cubes will form in approximately 2 to 3 hours. The ice cubes can be
easily removed by twisting the ice cube tray or running under cold water for a
short time.
Refrigerator defrost process
The refrigerator defrosting process is carried out automatically every time the
compressor stops.
The defrost water drains from the cabinet into a tray placed on the top of the
compressor to the rear of the unit where it evaporates.
