STORING FOODS

INNER PARTS
This appliance can be used for both freezing and "soft freezing" food. Choose the
proper storage location and temperature control setting for the desired results.
Top shelf, door bins (S1, S2): Use for soft freezing
Main shelves (F): Use for freezing
Drip tray (S3): Use for defrosting (Do not use to store food)
CAUTION:
1.
Do not place ice cream or frozen dairy products on the
top shelf or in door bins.
2.
The drip tray has a maximum temperature of 21°F (-6°C).
Make sure that the drip tray is properly installed before
defrosting.
3.
For best results, store frozen food on the main shelves
(F). During defrosting, the warmer temperatures in the
soft freeze areas will shorten the storage life of foods.
4. Before storing food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store it in a container with a lid.
This prevents moisture from evaporating and helps food to keep its taste
and nutrients.
5. Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the freezer could
spoil other food and lead to higher energy consumption.

nutritional value of food.
8.
Do not overload the door bins so that they prevent the door from closing
properly.
Do not open the door frequently or keep it open longer than necessary.
9.
Opening the door allows warm air into the freezer, raising the interior
temperature.
10.
Do not store carbonated beverages in the freezer.
11.
Keep hands away from cold surfaces, especially when wet. Skin can stick to
cold surfaces, causing frostbite.
12. The temperature inside the freezer will not be affected by power outages
lasting only a few hours, as long as the door is kept closed. For longer power
outages, place a block of dry ice in the freezer or remove food and cook it.
When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation. Dry ice is frozen carbon
