food StoRagE comPaRtmEnt
• Cool the refrigerator before placing any food inside.
• 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.
• 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.
• Never put hot food or drinks into the refrigerator - cool
them first.
• Do not leave the unit's door open any longer than necessary.
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 freezing
of food. To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered
dishes, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum
foil.
• 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 compart-
ment.
• Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the
frozen food storage compartment provided they are pre-
cooled first in the refrigerator. They can be stored about
three times longer in the frozen food compartment as com-
pared to the fresh food compartment.
• To prevent frost buildup, which can reduce the efficiency,
wipe excess moisture off items being placed in the compart-
ment.

able retainer bars are mounted on the shelves. These can be
employed to separate the shelf into smaller sections which
will hold the contents in place. slide the shelf guards snugly
against food item(s). The "front to back" shelf guard must be
in upright position.
