ENGLISH
Storing Food
•Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing
hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other
food, and lead to higher electric bills.
• When storing the food, use a container with a
lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and
helps food to keep 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. Opening the
door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and
cause temperature to rise.
•Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this
may stop the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment-
they may break when frozen.
•Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This
causes loss of taste and nutrition.
•Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific
materials or other temperature sensitive products
in the refrigerator.
Products that require strict temperature controls
must not be stored in the refrigerator.
•If you want to quick freeze new food, you put it
middle drawer of freezer compartment, and then
press the Express Frz. button.
• To ensure good air circulation in the appliance,
insert the freezer drawers all the way.
