Instructions For Food Storage
Note: The guidelines below are for all refrigeration apliances. Some features may not be applicable to this appliance.
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 foods that need not be frozen but require to be fully chilled: ready-to-eat meals, cooked food, meat, fish, cheese, beer, eggs, some condiments that need cold preservation etc.
-
The door shelves are suitable for foods with natural preservatives, such as jams, juices, drinks, condiments that do not require as low a temperature. Do not store perishable foods in the door.
-
The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of vegetables, fruits, etc.
-
The freezer/Icebox compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long time depending on the
-
- star rating.
- 0- star compartments are only suitable for making Ice
- 1- 2-3 star compartments are not suitable for freezing fresh food
- 2 -3 star compartments are suitable for freezing pre-frozen food, ice-cream and making Ice.
- 4 star compartments are suitable for deep freezing all food types.
-
-
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. Keep the shelf rear flange upward, to prevent foods from contacting 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.
Door Balconies: -
Instructions For Food Storage Note: The guidelines below are for all refrigeration appliances. Some features may not be applicable to this appliance.
Food storage location: -
Do not force jars or cartons in the door as this may break the balconies. Make sure that tall items are not able to fall over during the door opening and closing.When removing make sure that all food is removed and push upwards from one corner and then the other to remove. When removing and re-fitting handle with care to avoid damage.
Cautions for food storage: -
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, keep fresh fruits and vegetables on one hand, and prevent taint of odor on the other hand.
-
Do not put too much food 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 collapsing. When storing the foods, keep a distance away from theinner wall; and do not place the water-rich foods too close to the fridge rear wall, they may get frozen on the inner wall.
Categorized storage of foods: -
Foods 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 avoided.
Energy-saving tips: -
Allow the hot food to 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.
Ice formation on the back wall: -
It is normal for some ice droplets to form on the back wall of a fridge (see below image) as this is a wet wall appliance. This does not constitute a fault with the appliance. Ensure that no items inside the fridge are in contact with the back wall at any time as this may cause freezing of food and possible issues with the drain hole becoming blocked or water on the shelves. Storage of fruits and vegetables:
-
In the case of refrigerating appliances with a chill compartment, some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and therefore are not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment.
Instructions For Food Storage
Use of the frozen food storage compartment:
- The 4 freezer compartment 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 too according to the freezer rating.
- Only a 4 freezer is capable of freezing fresh food. 2-3 compartments can freeze pre-frozen food, 0-1 * compartments are only suitable for making ice.
- 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 freshkeeping bags before they are evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.
- 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 bursting due to volume expansion after the liquid gets frozen.
- Divide the food into appropriately small portions
- Pack the food up before freezing it, the packing bag used should be dry, in case the packing bags are frozen together. Foods should be packed or covered by suitable materials that are firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and transfer of odour.
- Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it ices up as soon as possible.
- IMPORTANT! In the event of accidental defrosting, do not refreeze defrosted food.
Tips for shopping for frozen foods:
- 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 before”, usually found on the front of the packaging.
- Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
- Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
- Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
- 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.
- 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.
- Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it will take less time for them to freeze up and thaw.
- Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen. 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 in a fast manner, with the food freshness well kept.
Location
- Do not place your refrigerator/freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid direct sunlight or cold temperatures in out-buildings or conservatories etc..
Positioning
- Make sure to level your appliance using the front leveling feet. If not level, the appliance door gasket sealing performance will be affected, or it may even lead to the operating failure of your appliance.
- After placing your appliance in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, so as to allow the refrigerant to settle.
