Storing foods

▪ 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 easily 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 air keeps
refrigerator temperatures even.
▪ Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the
refrigerator and causes temperatures to rise.
▪ Never keep too much food in the door rack as it may push against the inner racks
so that the door cannot fully close.
▪ 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 nutrients.
▪ When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf, not in the door rack.
▪ Do not touch cold foods or containers - especially 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.
▪ Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed
and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from
spoiling.
▪ When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and
always store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.
NOTE
• If you keeping the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequently open the
door or store a lot of vegetables, dew may form. This has no effect on operation
or performance. Remove the dew with an absorbent dry cloth.

Suggestion for energy saving

• Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest
time.
• Storing too much food is not recommended. Sufficient space should be left
to ensure proper air circulation.
• Do not set the temperature of fridge freezer lower than needed. Do not put
food near the temperature sensors. Keep the distance of at least 5mm from
the sensors.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge freezer
could affect other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
• Do not block air vents. Smooth circulation of cold air maintains the
appropriate temperature.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the
fridge-freezer, and causes the temperature to rise.

• The configuration of shelves, baskets and drawers supplied by the
manufacturer is the most efficient in terms of energy saving.
