INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOD STORAGE

Precautions for use

• 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
• The information of climate type of the appliance is provided on the rating plate.
• 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.
• 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
In the fridge mode: It 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.
In the freezer mode, it is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long time.
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.
Crisper box: Pull out the crisper box for access to food.

CAUTIONS FOR FOOD STORAGE (IN THE FRIDGE MODE)
You’d better clean the foods and wipe them dry before storing them inside the refrigerator. Before foods are put in the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal them up, so as to prevent water evaporation to keep fresh fruits and vegetables on one hand, and prevent taint of odor on the other hand.
Do not put too many or too weight foods inside the refrigerator. Keep enough space between foods; if too close, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the shelf from being crushed. When storing the foods, keep a distance away from the inner wall; and do not place the water-rich foods too close to the fridge rear wall, lest they get frozen on the inner wall.
Categorized storage of foods Food should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed in front of the shelf, so that the door open duration can be shortened and food spoilage due to expiration can be avoid.
Energy-saving tips: Allow the hot food cool down to the room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Put the frozen food in the fresh food compartment to thaw, using the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food, thus saving Energy.

STORAGE OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill compartment, a statement to the effect that some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and therefore are not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment should be made.

IN THE FREEZER MODE
The freezer temperature is controlled below -18 ℃, and it is advisable to store the food for long-term preservation in the freezer compartment, but the storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to. The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block size should be cut into small pieces and packed into fresh- keeping bags before they are evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.

FAST FREEZING

1. Refer to the description about fast freezing function in the “Function” section.
2. Compared with the normal freezing, fast freezing enables food to pass through the maximum ice crystal formation zone at the fastest speed. Fast freezing can freeze the food water content into fine ice crystals, without damaging the cell membrane, so cell juice will not be lost when thawing, and the original freshness and nutrition of food can be maintained.
3. The fast-freezing function is designed to preserve nutrition of the frozen food, with the food thoroughly frozen in the shortest time. Fast freezing consumes more energy than the normal freezing does.

• Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer compartment.
• Do not put a glass container with liquid or the canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer compartment, so as to avoid burst due to volume expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
• Divide the food into appropriately small portions
• You’d better pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag used should be dry, in case the packing bags are frozen together. Foods should be packed or covered by such suitable materials as are firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and transfer of odor.

HOW TO USE THE ICE-MAKING BOX
Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it ices up as soon as possible.

TIPS FOR SHOPPING THE FROZEN FOODS

1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best to use them before×”, found on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it will take less than for them to freeze up and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of food to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to the low mode, with the freezer temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner, with the food freshness well kept.
