CAUTIONS
!
Do not place the food too near to the inner walls. Do not store foods with high
moisture content touching the inner walls. Otherwise the food may freeze to the
walls. Place food a little away from the inner walls.
Avoiding food (especially oil food) touching the inner liner directly, as some oils
can damage the inner liner. So it's better to clean the oily contamination
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.
Defrost 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 quickened in the refrigerator, so it is not suitable to store them in the fridge
storage compartment. But storing green fruits in the refrigerator for certain
periods can promote its maturing.
!
Hot food should not be stored in the refrigerator until it has cooled down to room
temperature.
Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook.
!
The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5kg.
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 refrozen unless it is first cooked; otherwise it may be less edible.
