Drawer: packaged frozen foods, etc.;
Never forget:
• When you freeze fresh foods with a 'use by /best before/best by/' date, you must freeze them
before this date expires.
• Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be
re-frozen.
• Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy.
• Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (Direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc.)
• Don't set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Don't store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free room. Please refer to Installing your new appliance
chapter.
• Foods cannot block the air outlet; otherwise, abnormal air circulation will be caused.
• Make sure that the temperature sensor is not covered or blocked by foods, and keep proper distance with
foods.
Hints for refrigerator
• Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
• Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: They should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in the special drawer provided.
• Butter and cheese: Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic film wrap.
• Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be stored in the door racks.
Hints for freezing
• When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings
before putting food in the compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to
subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the
latter.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause
frost burns to the skin.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.
• Do not put bottled or canned foods into the freezer chamber to prevent frost cracking.
• Glass bottles or glass containers shall not be placed into the freezer chamber or at the air outlet of
refrigerating chamber duct; otherwise, they may explode.
• Do not put too many fresh foods into the freezer chamber once, preferably not exceeding the freezing
capacity value of refrigerator.

liner. When the interior stained with oil or oily food soup stains, it should be cleaned immediately to avoid the
