Suggestion on food storage
Storing foods
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed 
is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavour.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, 
and melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in a refrigerator could 
spoil other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
When storing food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in 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 chilled air keeps 
refrigerator temperatures even.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the 
refrigerator and causes temperatures to rise.
Never keep too much food in the door rack as it may push against the inner racks 
so that the door cannot fully close.
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 nutrients.
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer 
shelf, not in the door rack.
Do not touch cold foods or containers - especially metallic containers - with wet 
hands or place glass products in the freezer compartment.
- You may get chill blains, and glass containers may break when frozen, causing 
personal injury.
Avoid placing sauces on top refrigerator shelves, which could freeze on direct 
contact with chilled air.
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed 
and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from 
spoiling.
When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and 
always store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds 
are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. 
Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they 
describes the kinds of actually are. The following sounds and what may be making them:Understanding  
sounds you  
may hear
•The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The 
thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when 
cycling on and off.
•Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant,the water line, or items stored on top 
of the refrigerator.
•Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired 
temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer 
than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
•You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and 
freezer compartments.
•As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due the refrigerant flowing in your 
refrigerator.
Contraction cause a popping noise to and expansion of the inside walls may a popping 
noise.
•Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
•You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
•You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
CareCare and maintenance
General information
Cleaning
During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in 
operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. When you plan not to operate, 
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each 
door OPEN to prevent odour formation.
Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator 
temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the 
power is off.
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging 
the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after 
installation. Don’t be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps 
through the  refrigerator to prevent “sweating” on the outer cabinet wall.
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odours. Spilled 
food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if 
allowed to settle.
Use a luke warm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your 
refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.
Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments with a baking soda solution 
or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.
Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or 
power plug is well inserted into the wall outlet socket.
Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning near to electrical 
equipment (lamps, switches, controls, etc.). Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge 
or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing 
an electric shock. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, 
strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not 
touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick to 
extremely cold surfaces.
