Refrigerant gas information

CAUTION!

When you close the door, the vertical door beam on

the left door should be bent inside (1).

If you try to close the left door and the vertical door

beam is unbent (2), you should bend it rstly, other-

wise the door beam will hit the xing shaft or right

door. Thus a damage to the door beam or a leak will

occur.

There is a heating thread inside the vertical door

beam. The temperature of the surface will rise a lit-

tle, which is normal and won´t aect the function of

refrigerator.

5.14 Tips on storing fresh food

5.14.1 Storing into the refrigerator compartment

▶ Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.

▶ Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.

▶ Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing

▶ Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations.

▶ Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold

air owing around them, for a better and more homogeneous cooling.

▶ Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.

▶ Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air owing. In special way

don’t store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against rear wall. Avoid di-

rect contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as oil/acid can

erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found.

▶ Frozen food can be gently thawed in the refrigerator compartment. This saves en-

ergy.

▶ The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, ba-

nana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not advis-

able to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits

can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegeta-

bles should also be stored at room temperature.

▶ Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and clean-

ing is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.

▶ Dierent foods should be placed in dierent areas according to their properties (Fig.:

5.14.1).

5.14.2 Storage into the freezer compartment

▶ Keep the freezer temperature at- 18°C.

▶ 24 hours before freezing switch on the Super-Freeze function; -for small quantities

of food 4-6 hours are sucient.

▶ Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment.

▶ Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The

recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg

▶ It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the pack-

aging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging materials should be

odour-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic.

▶ In order to avoid expiration of storage periods, please note the freezing date, time limit

and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of dierent

foods.

▶ WARNING!: Acid, alkali and salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer.

Do not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea sh) directly on the internal

surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately.

▶ Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the manufacturers. Only

take the required amount of food out of the freezer.
