							Suggestions on food  storag e
53
Storing Food • Do not store food which goes bad easily at lowtemperature, 
  such as banana, and melon.
• Always allow hot food to cool to room temperature. 
  Never put hot food into refrigerator and freezer chambers. 
  It could spoil other food, and lead to higher electricity loss.
• When storing the food, use a container with a lid. 
  Thisprevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food 
  tokeep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold 
  air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Frequent opening the 
  doors warm up temperature in the chambers which leads 
  to spoil other products & electricity loss.
• To adjust the temperature control easily, do not storefood 
  near the temperature control dial.
• Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this maystop 
  the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may 
  break when frozen.
N ote
If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid place,
frequently open its door or put a lot of vegetables in it,
dew may form in it, which has no e ffect on its
performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.
 
						

							Suggestions on food storage

To ensure good air circulation in the appliance, insert
the freezer drawers  all the way.
If large quantities of  food are to be stored in the freezer 
the middle drawer of the freezer compartment can be

over the food stacked in the lower drawer.
To remove one of the freezer drawer do the following:
