Tips for food preservation

Do not overstock too many food items
When there are too many food items and there is no space for cool air circulation inside the refrigerator, the cooling capacity will be affected. Provide sufficient space between foods inside the Fridge compartment!

Do not block the cool air outlet with food items
If the cool air does not spread into every corner of the compartments, then the interior will not be sufficiently cooled and more electricity will be consumed. Therefore, do not place food items in front of the cooling air vents* and block the air circulation in the refrigerator.

  • The cooling air vents are located on the duct inside the Fridge compartment.

Prime Fresh Case

The temperature in the Prime Fresh case can be selected as below:

  • The temperature for the soft freeze is -5 °C ~ -1 °C.
  • The temperature to use the Prime Fresh case as the Fridge compartment is 0 °C ~ 4 °C.

When using the refrigerator, the temperature can be adjusted according to your usage.

The default temperature setting of the Prime Fresh case is -3 °C.

Using Prime Fresh case

Approx. -5 °C ~ -1 °C

  • This room is suitable for storing fresh food, such as meat or fish. Compared to storing in the Fridge compartment, the storage life of meat or fish becomes longer.

  • When food is frozen too much. Sliced raw fish or meat may be frozen too much. Set the temperature to higher than -3 °C to prevent food from over frozen.

  • When food is not entirely surface-frozen.
    Depending on the type of food, such as a large block of meat or a large fish, the storage conditions, and the ambient temperature, food may not be entirely surface-frozen as it intended. Then, set to the lowest temperature -5 °C.

  • Do not overstock with too many food items. When there are too many food items and there is no space for cool air circulation inside the refrigerator, the cooling capacity will be affected. Provide sufficient space between foods inside the Prime Fresh case.

  • When storing food in large amounts, e.g. a large block of meat, a large fish, or a chicken, it is advisable to place the food at the center of the Prime Fresh case to optimize the cooling performance.

  • When the temperature of the Prime Fresh case is set at 0 °C ~ 4 °C, the Prime Fresh+ mode will not operate in order to prevent food spoilage.

  • Do not block the cool air outlet with food items inside the Prime Fresh case. If the cool air does not spread into every corner of the Prime Fresh case, then the interior will not be sufficiently cooled and the food may be affected. Therefore, food should not be placed in front of the Cooling air guide (on the Prime Fresh case) to prevent blocking the air circulation inside the room.

Freezer Compartment
