Energy-saving tips: Allow hot food to cool down to room temperature before
putting it in the refrigerator. Put any frozen food in the fresh food compartment
to thaw, using the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food,
thus saving energy.
Storage of fruits and vegetables
In the case of refrigerating appliances with chilling compartments, it is
important to note that some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to
cold and are, therefore, not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment.

for long-term preservation in the freezer compartment, although the storage
duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to.
The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and
meat in large blocks should be cut into small pieces and packed into freezer
bags before being evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.

compartment, so as to avoid bursting or distortion due to expansion after
the liquid freezes.
• Divide food into appropriately small portions.
• It is best to wrap food up before freezing it, and the materials used for
wrapping should be dry, to prevent the freezer bags from freezing together.
Foods should be packed in or covered with suitable materials that are firm,
tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid
cross-contamination and the transfer of odours.
