Temperature Instruction
Recommended Temperature
The optimal temperature setting for food storage:
•
Fridge: 3 °C
•
Freezer: -19 °C
•
Meat and fish of Coolselect Zone: 0 °C (only for RB29****C** & RB31****C** model)
•
Vegetable of Coolselect Zone: 3 °C (only for RB29****C** & RB31****C** model)
NOTE
The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature. Above optimal
temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 25 °C.
Power Freeze
Power Freeze speeds up the freezing process at maximum fan speed. The freezer keeps running at full speed
for 50 hours and then returns to the previous temperature. To freeze large amounts of food, activate Power
Freeze for at least 20 hours before putting food in the freezer.
NOTE
When you use this function the energy consumption of the refrigerator will increase. Remember to turn it off
when you don't need it and return the freezer to your original temperature setting.
How to store for best preservation (applicable models only)
Cover foods to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors from other foods. A large pot of food
like soup or stew should be divided into small portions and put in shallow containers before being refrigerated.
A large cut of meat or whole poultry should be divided into smaller pieces or placed in shallow containers
before refrigerating.

Freezer Compartment
NOTE
Freeze fresh, undamaged food only. Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.
To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.
Shelves should be adjustable to accommodate a variety of packages.
Sealed crisper drawers provide an optimal storage environment for fruits
and vegetables. Vegetables require higher humidity conditions while fruits
require lower humidity conditions.
Crispers are equipped with controls devices to control the humidity level.
(*Depending on model and options) An adjustable temperature meat drawer
maximizes the storage time of meats and cheeses.
Don't store perishable foods in the door. Eggs should be stored in the
carton on a shelf. The temperature of the storage bins in the door fluctuate
more than the temperature in the cabinet. Keep the door closed as much as
possible.
You can store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the
freezer compartment.
