OPERATION
Notes for Operation
• Users should keep in mind that frost can
form. If the door is not closed completely, if
the humidity is high during the summer, or if
the freezer door is opened frequently.
• Ensure there is sufficient space between food
stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the
door to close completely.
• Opening the door for long periods can cause
a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for
long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry,
and leave the door open to prevent mould
developing within the appliance.
Suggestion for Energy Saving
• Ensure there is sufficient space between
stored foods. This allows cold air to be
circulated evenly and lowers electricity bills.
• Store hot food only after it has cooled in order
to prevent dew or frost.
• When storing food in the freezer
compartment, set the freezer temperature
lower than the temperature indicated on the
food.
• Do not put food near the temperature sensor
of the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of
at least 3 cm from the sensor.
• Note that a temperature rise after defrosting
has a permissible range in the appliance
specifications. If you wish to minimise the
impact this may have on the food storage due
to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored
food in several layers.
• The automatic defrosting system in the
appliance ensures that the compartment
remains free of ice buildup under normal
operating conditions.
•
For the most efficient use of energy, keep all
inner parts (e.g. door bins, drawers and
shelves) on their original location.
•
Do not set the temperature of the appliance
lower than needed.
Storing Foods Effectively
•
Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside
sealed containers.
•
Check the expiration date and label (storage
instructions) before storing food in the
appliance.
•
Do not store food for a long period of time
if it spoils easily at a low temperature.
• Avoid refreezing any food which has been
completely thawed. Freezing any food which
has been completely thawed again will lower
its taste and nutrition.
• Do not wrap and store vegetables with
newspaper. Printing material of newspaper or
other foreign substances may smear and
contaminate food.
• Do not overfill the appliance.Cold air can not
circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.
• If you set an excessively low temperature for
food, it may become frozen. Do not set a
temperature lower than the required
temperature for the food to be stored
correctly.
•
For more space, you can remove bottle rack,
egg tray, ice tray and fresh converter drawer.
•
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers
in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact
with or drip onto other food.
•
Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in
each fridge or freezer compartment
immediately after purchasing.
•
Food may freeze or spoil if stored at the wrong
temperature. Set the refrigerator to the correct
temperature for the food being stored.
Max Freezing Capacity
• The Express Freeze function will set the
freezer to its maximum freezing capacity.This
generally takes up to 24 hours and
automatically switches off.
• If the maximum freezing capacity is to be
used, Express Freeze must be switched on
for 7 hours before fresh produce is placed
in the freezer compartment.
Freezing the Maximum Amount
of Food
• To get better air circulation, insert all drawers.
• If large quantities of food are to be stored,
all the freezer drawers shall be taken out of
the appliance and the food shall be stacked
directly on the freezer shelf (or shelves) in
the freezer compartment.
