Replacement bulb must be the samespecification as original 1.2.3. 4.5. lIf you want to check the F.I.R Lamp operation, dont touch F.I.R Lampbecause you may burn your fingers with the high temperature of its surface. CTIOAUN lDont try to take out the lamp cover to check F.I.R. lamp operation as youmay break it, if not removed carefully. Call service person / authorized dealerin case of doubt. 6. DeodorizerlBy using a catalyst, deodorizing performance is guaranteed.lUnpleasant odor of food in fresh food compartment is deodorizedwith no harm to you and the food. How to use lAs the catalyst is located in cooling air outlet for circulating air infresh food compartment, there is no need for any handling. lDo not prick the cooling air outlet with a sharp tip because thedeodorizing catalyst may be damaged.lWhen storing food with a strong odor, wrap it or store it in a container with a lid because odor may be passed on to other foods.lDont try to remove the deodorizer cover, as you may break the catalyst. 7. F.I.R Lamp Feature lFar Infrared Rays emitted from Far Infrared Ray Lamp restrains the drynessof the foods and keeps its Moisture without deteriorating nutrition value.lBy increasing the nucleic acid, Far Infrared Rays also keeps the aroma andthe smell of the food for a longer time. Operating lWhen the refrigerator begins to operate, F.I.R Lamp turns on.During the refrigerators operating, the on and off of theF.I. R Lamp is automatically controlled by the refrigerator innertemperature. Therefore it is not necessary to handle F.I.R Lamp. lIf you store the foods wrapped in the vinyl or wrapper, not in thevessel with lid, the foods will get more effective F.I.R results.Cool air vent 4. Fresh ZoneWhen the door is opened, the warmer air doesnt influence the cooling of Fresh Zone. So you can keep food fresher in it. 5. DefrostinglDefrosting takes place automatically. lThe defrosted water flows down to the evaporating tray which islocated in the lower back side of the refrigerator and is evaporatedautomatically. 3. Door Coolingl l If foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning,efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged,efficiency may be lowered due to the escape of cool air. So careshould be taken during cleaning.Cool air vent is placed on the refrigerator door to provide DoorShelves with cool air.
8 Storing Food lStore fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and defrosted is animportant factor in maintaining freshness and flavor. lDo not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, andmelons. lAllow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food,and lead to high electric bills! lWhen storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in a covered container. This prevents moisture fromevaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutritional value. lDo not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatureseven. lDo not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causingtemperatures to rise. lTo adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature control dial. Freezer Compartment lDo not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen. lDo not refreeze food that has been defrosted. This causes loss of taste and nutritional valve. lWhen storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in thedoor Shelf. Refrigerator Compartment lAvoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contactwith chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container. lAlways clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, andpacked food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. lWhen storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in aup-right position, which keeps them fresh longer NE OT lIf you keep the refrigerator in a hot, and humid place, frequently openits door or put a lot of vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has noeffect on its performance. Remove the dew with cloth free from dust. lDont use plastic cover. Cloth or any other item to cover your refrigeratoron sides, it will hamper performance of the refrigerator.Suggestions on Food Storage
