IV. Functions
Temperature setting
1. The fridge and freezer temperatures are controlled by the thermostat installed on the fridge inner wall. It is strongly
recommended to use a cryostat to check whether the freezer temperature is below -18℃ before loading any food, which
may take 2-3 hours.
2. Scale marks on the knob swtich indicate the temperature mode rather than the exact temperature. "0" indicates "OFF",
and "7" the lowest temperature mode.
3. Make sure to adjust the knob switch to the mode "4", and use a suitable thermometer to check the temperature after two
hours, when the fridge temperature should be between 0℃ and +8℃ and the freezer temperature between -16 and
-25 ℃. To lower the temperature, adjust the knob switch to mode "7" and check the values in one hour.
Note: When the refrigerator/freezer is located in a particularly hot or cold room or the doors are opened too frequently, it
may not be operating under at the desirable temperature.
Fast Freeze
1. Fast freezing makes water in the food form into fine ice crystal, so as to prevent the cell membrane from being
damaged and the cytoplasm from being lost when thawing, thus preserving the original freshness and nutrition of food.
2. Fresh food and fish to be preserved for a long time should be frozen in a fast manner. To realize fast freezing, please
adjust the knob switch to mode "7" before adding the food.
3. After fast freezing, turn the knob back to its original mode (In general, the fast freezing time shall not exceed 4 hours).
V. Instructions for food storage
Precautions for use
l
The appliance might not operate consistently (there is possibility of defrosting or temperature becoming too warm in
the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold limit of the temperature range
for which the refrigerating appliance is designed
l
The information of climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating plate.
l
The internal temperature could be affected by such factors as the location of refrigerating appliance, ambient
temperature, and frequency of door open, etc., and if appropriate, a warning that setting of any temperature control
device might have to be varied to allow for these factors should be made.
l
Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or the low-temperature compartment, and some
products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold.
Food storage location
Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator, the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is different, so different
kinds of food should be placed in different areas.
The fresh food compartment is suitable for the storage of such foods as need not to be frozen, the cooked food, beer,
eggs, some condiments that need cold preservation, milk, fruit juice, etc. The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of
vegetables, fruits, etc.
The freezer compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long
time.
Use of the fresh food compartment
Set the temperature of the fresh food storage compartment between 2 ℃ ~ 8 ℃, and store the foods that are intended
for short-term storage, or to be eaten at any time in the fresh food compartment.
Fridge shelf: When removing the shelf, lift it up first, and then pull it out; and when installing the shelf, place it into position
before putting it down. (For the two-section shelf, push the first section to the rear end, and then pull the second section
out). Keep the shelf rear flange upward, to prevent foods from contact the liner wall. When taking out or putting in the shelf,
hold it firmly, and handle with care to avoid damage.
Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to food. After using or cleaning the cover plate of the crisper box, be sure
to put it back onto the crisper, so that the internal temperature of the crisper box will not be affected.
Cautions for food storage
You'd better clean the foods and wipe them dry before storing them inside the refrigerator. Before foods are put in the
