Suggestion on food storage
Storing \boods
▪ 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 \geasily 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 ai\gr keeps refrigerator temperatures even.▪ Do not open the doo\gr frequently. Opening the door \glets warm air enter the refrigerator and causes temperatures to rise.▪ \bever keep too much food in the door rack as it may push against the \ginner racks so that the door cannot \gfully close.
▪ Do not store bottles in the f\greezer compartment - they may break when frozen.▪ Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of\g taste and nutrients.▪ When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door \grack.▪ Do not touch cold foods or containers - especial\gly 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\g.▪ Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruit\gs should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wipe\gd, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.▪ When storing eggs in their st\gorage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in an upright position, which \gkeeps 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\f
Understanding 
so\fnds yo\f 
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.

General in\bormation
Cleaning
During average length vacations, you will probably find it bes\gt 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 OPE\b to prevent odour formation.
Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or t\gwo will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of do\gor openings while t\ghe 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\g 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 t\go prevent undesirable odours. Spilled food should be wipe\gd up immediately, since it may acidify and stai\gn plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.
Use a luke warm solution of mild\g soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean d\gamp cloth and then\g dry.
Regular cleaning is \grecommended. 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. \bever use metallic sc\gouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquid\gs on any surface. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp obj\gect will stick to extremely cold surfaces.
