USING YOUR APPLIANCE

Your appliance is supplied with a number of accessories and this section describes how best to use them.

Door rack
This is suitable for the storage of eggs, canned liquid, bottled drinks and packed food, etc. Do not place too many heavy items in the racks.

Shelf in refrigerator chamber
There are three shelves in the refrigerator chamber, and they can be taken out for cleaning.

Extra fresh box (optional)
In certain models, there will be an extra fresh box (drawer). In this drawer you can get a lower temperature to store fish, meat and other edible food temporarily. Normally it will be about 2°C lower than the other part of the fresh compartment.
You can move the slide bar to set the temperature. There are some recommendations in the below table which you can consult.

Note: Due to the environment temperature and setting temperature both influence the temperature of extra fresh box (drawer), the actual temperature may change in a certain range. The temperature of this drawer may lower than zero, so it is normal that liquid in this drawer was frozen. You can adjust the slide bar on the crisper cover to keep different humidity in the crisper. Push the slide bar to the left, you will keep a higher humidity which can storage vegetable and fruit long and fresh, to the right will be lower humidity.

Flexible wine rack (optional)
This is for storing bottled wine or drinks and it can be taken out for cleaning.

Crisper cover
This is used to control the temperature of the crisper and prevent vegetables from losing moisture.

Fruit and vegetable crisper
This is suitable for the storage of fruit and vegetables.

Freezer drawer
This is used to store food that needs to be frozen, including meat, fish, ice cream, etc.

Ice cube tray
This is used to make ice cubes. Fill the ice cube tray with water (fill to about 80 percent of the volume of the ice cube tray). Place the ice cube tray in the bottom freezer drawer (it will take at least 2 hours for the ice cubes to be ready). Turn the ice cube tray slightly to release the ice cubes when you want to use them.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Energy-saving tips
We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.

• Try to avoid leaving the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy.
• Ensure the appliance is not located near any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker, etc.)
• Do not set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well-ventilated, humidity-free, room. Please refer to the chapter on installing your new appliance.
• If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy-efficient configuration.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not place hot food directly in the refrigerator or freezer, as this will raise the internal temperature, causing the compressor to work harder and consume more energy.
  Do cover or wrap food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

• Place food carefully so that air can circulate freely around it. Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (all types): Wrap in polythene food wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow the food storage times and use-by dates recommended by manufacturers.

• Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:
  These should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables:
  These should be stored in the special drawer provided.

• Butter and cheese:
  Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic film wrap.

• Milk bottles:
  Should have a lid and be stored in the door racks.

Hints for freezing

• When first starting up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run for at least 2 hours on a higher setting before putting food in the compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions so that it will freeze rapidly and completely, then thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wrap that is airtight.
• Do not allow fresh unfrozen food to touch food that is already frozen, to avoid raising the temperature of the latter.
• If frozen products are consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, they are likely to cause frost burns to the skin.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
• Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

Switching off your appliance
If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should be taken to prevent mould formation on the appliance.

1. Remove all food.
