CAUTIONS Regarding the fridge storage Hot foods must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator. Clean the food and dry any droplets on it before placing in the refrigerator. Food to be stored should be properly sealed. This will prevent moisture in the food from evaporating and prevent them from spoiling. Sorted storage of food. Food to be stored should be sorted according to their category. Food consumed daily should be placed on the front part of the shelves. This can avoid unnecessary delays in door opening as well as expiration of the storage period because you forgot to eat it. Do not store excess quantities of food. Food should be stored with spaces in between them. This allows cold air to flow smoothly and therefore obtain better storage results. Do not place the food too near to the inner walls. Do not store foods with high moisture content clinging to the inner walls. Otherwise they may freeze to the walls. Place food a little away from the inner walls. Avoiding food (especially oil food) contact with the inner liner directly, as oil can erode the inner liner. So it's better to clean the oily dirt whenever it is found. For turnip radish and other similar vegetables, please cut off their leaves before storage so as to prevent the nutrition from being absorbed by the leaves. Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. In this way you can use the frozen food to decrease the temperature in the compartment and save energy. Some vegetables, for example, onion, garlic, ginger, water chestnut, and other rhizomatic foods, can be stored for long periods at normal temperature. There is no need to store them in the refrigerator. The metabolism of vegetable marrow, melons, pawpaw, banana, pineapple can be ...

CAUTIONS It's better to pack food before putting it in the freezer. The outside of the packing must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packing materials should be odor‐free, airtight, non‐poisonous and nontoxic. In order to avoid expiration of storage period, please note the freezing date, time limit and name of the food on the packing according to the storage periods of different foods. Only take the required amount of food from the freezer. Defrosted food cannot be re‐ frozen unless it is first cooked; otherwise it may be less edible. Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer. It is better to refer to the cooling capacity of the refrigerator. (See “Technical data”.) Energy Saving Tips Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation. Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance. Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance. Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator. Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter time, for which the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer. Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust increases energy consumption. Do not set temperature colder than necessary. Ensure sufficient air exhaust at the refrigerator base and at the back wall of the refrigerator. Do not cover air vent openings. Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower. ...
