INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOD STORAGE
Food storage locations
Do not put too much food inside the freezer. Keep enough space between
items; if items are too close together, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus
affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not store excessive amounts or very heavy
food, to avoid damage to the shelf. When storing food, keep it away from
the inner wall; and do not place water-rich foods too close to the back of the
freezer, lest they get frozen to the inner wall.
Freezer mode
Long-term storage of foods: The freezer compartment, where the
temperature is generally controlled below -18°C, is suitable for the long-term
preservation of foods, but the shelf life indicated on the food packages should
be adhered to.
Freezer drawer: Used for frozen food storage. Large pieces of meat or fish
should be cut into smaller portions, packed separately in freezer bags and
distributed evenly in the drawer.
Fast freezing
1.
Refer to the description of the fast- freezing function in the
"Functions" section.
2.
In contrast to normal freezing, fast freezing enables food to pass
through the maximum ice crystal formation zone at the fastest speed.
Fast freezing can freeze water in the food into fine ice crystals, without
damaging the cell membrane, so cell moisture will not be lost when
thawing, and the original freshness and nutrition can be maintained.
3.
The fast-freezing function is designed to preserve the nutrition of the
frozen food, by freezing the food thoroughly in the shortest time. Fast
freezing consumes more energy than the normal freezing does.
• Allow hot foods to cool down to room temperature before putting them in
the freezer compartment.
