You can turn off your refrigerator by turning the ON/OFF

If the refrigerator will not be in operation for an extended
period of time or put into winter storage, it should be
emptied, defrosted, cleaned, and the doors left ajar. If ice
cube trays are in use, they should also be dried and kept
outside the cabinet.

FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
• Cool the refrigerator before placing any food inside.
Never put hot food or drinks into the refrigerator - cool
them first.
• The food storage compartment is completely closed and
unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required
low temperature for food storage. Consequently, foods
having a strong odor or those that absorb odors easily
should be covered.
• Vegetables, salads, etc., should be covered to retain
their crispness.
• The coldest positions in the refrigerator are under the
cooling fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The
warmer areas are on the upper door shelves. This should
be considered when placing different types of food in
the refrigerator.

5.1
This refrigerator is intended for continuous
use. Do not allow it to run unattended when
there is a risk for loss of electricity or fuel.
Food spoilage could occur.
• Arrange all food in the unit to allow for free air circulation.
Do not overpack because a stuffed refrigerator must
work harder and will have higher cabinet temperatures.
• Do not leave the unit's door open any longer than neces-
sary. This will reduce frost formation and increase the
efficiency of the refrigerator.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
COMPARTMENT
This compartment is not designed for deep or quick freez-
ing of food.
• To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered dish-
es, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.
• Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared, can be stored
in the frozen food storage compartment provided they
are precooled first in the refrigerator. They can be stored
about three times longer in the frozen food compartment
as compared to the fresh food compartment.
• Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed
in the coldest part of the compartment, which is at the
bottom of the aluminum liner.
• Frozen vegetables, may be stored in any part of the
compartment.
• To prevent frost buildup, which can reduce efficiency,
wipe excess moisture off items being placed in the
compartment.
ICE CUBES
Ice cubes can be made in the freezer compartment. For
faster freezing, place trays in direct contact with the bottom
of the freezer compartment. Ice will be made more rapidly
if the thermostat is set at its highest position, but be sure to
move the thermostat back to normal setting when the ice is
formed; the refrigerator might otherwise become too cold.
