Fresh zone temperature control
Temperature of the fresh zone can be adjusted according to the type of storage food.
When the knob is placed at the “Crisper” position, you can use the chiller zone as a crisper. It is suitable for maintaining the appropriate temperature and humidity for fruits and vegetables.
When the knob is placed at the “Fresh” position, it is suitable for short-term storage of fish or other fresh food. This is the best way to keep freshness. In this case, it is recommended to set the refrigerator temperature below 4°C and usethe food within 3 days.

Care and cleaning
Important
To prevent cracks on inside surfaces and plastic components, follow these tips.
Wipe out food oil adhered to plastic parts. Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use
only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water). If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not
wiped off thoroughly, it may result in cracks of plastic parts.
Cleaning

Fruits, Vegetables

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the shelf life of perishable foods. The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.

Fruit / Vegetables
Fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and placed in the Fruit and vegetable crisper to minimize moisture loss.
Dairy Products & Eggs
Most dairy products have their best-before date on the outer packaging which informs the recommended temperature and shelf life of the foods.
Eggs should be stored in the Egg tray.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
Place on a plate or a dish and cover with paper or plastic wrap.
For larger cuts or meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear of theshelves.
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an airtight container

• Notes for fresh food: – Fresh food (securely wrapped) should be stored in
  limited time to prevent spoilage and badly affecting other stored foods.
  For best freezing
  Quality of foods should be fresh. Freeze smallquantities of food at a time in order to
  freeze them quickly. Food should be properly sealed or covered tightly. Place foods in the freezer evenly. Label bags or containers to keep an invenory of freezing
  food.

Advice for preventing dew or frost inside the refrigerator

Keep the door securely closed. If the food falls down, it may cause a gap between the cabinet and the door. Move it back to the shelf or the pocket.
Food with high-moisture should be stored in airtight container or sealed tightly.

Note

Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air to circulate efficiently.

Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot foods inceases the temperature in the unit and risk of food spoilage.

Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the

compartments of the appliance.

Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating circuit with foods or containers;otherwise the food is not be evenly cooled tKURXJKRXW the refrigerator.

IN OUT
Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.
