WARNING
 
						

							Suggestions on food storage
Storing Food
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at lowtemperature, 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.
