Storing food

• Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the storage life of perishable food. The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
• Food has a limited storage life. Make sure not to exceed use-by date indicated by manufacturer.

Refrigerator

Fruit / Vegetables

• Fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and placed in the vegetable case to minimize moisture loss.
• Fruits and vegetables which are easily effected by low temperature should be stored in a cool place except for the refrigerator.

Dairy Products & Eggs

• Most dairy products have their best-before date on the outer packaging which informs the recommended temperature and storage life of the food.
• Eggs should be stored in the egg holder.

Meats / Fish / Poultry

• Place on a plate or a dish and cover with paper or plastic wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear of the shelves.
• 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.
    

Freezer

• Freeze small quantities of food at a time in order to freeze them quickly.
• Food should be properly sealed or covered tightly. · Place food in the freezer evenly.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.

Multi temperature room
You can choose from four kinds of temperature zones. See “Multi temperature room” about how to select the temperature zone.

Soft freezing
This mode is suitable for storing food without freezing solid. You may cut easily even if the food is big. If the food is hard to cut, leave it for five to fifteen minutes on a cooking board then try again. Please note that this mode is not designed for long-term storage of frozen food. Stored food should be used within 1 week.

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.
• Stored items should be packed or sealed with such as food containers or plastic wraps.

Advice for storing food

• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot food should be cooled before storing. Storing hot food increases the temperature in the unit and the 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 food or containers; otherwise the food is not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
• Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.

Automatic ice maker

Description

How ice cubes are made

Water supply

• Water is sent from the water tank to the ice tray.

Ice making

• Ice cubes are made. (8 pieces at one time)
• The number of ice cubes per cycle may sometimes change.

Releasing

• Ice tray rotates to release the ice cubes and returns to “Water supply”.
• The ice tray doesn’t rotates when the ice storage box is full.

Ice making

You can choose 2 sizes as shown below.

Note

• The ice making time as shown above is only a rough indication at the ambient temperature of 30°C, temperature adjustment set to the initial setting (refrigerator : 3°C, freezer: -18°C), Energy saving turned off and with no opening or closing of the doors.

How to operate

• All the ice making modes are OFF(- – -) by a default setting.
  

How to use
Before using

• Wash the water tank and the ice storage box.
• Use ice tray cleaning mode to clean the ice tray and the pipe. (There may be odor or dirt within the automatic ice maker.)

Procedure

1. Pour water into the water tank, and set the water tank. Note
   • Step 3 : Do not use other than potable water. (juice, tea, soda and sports drink etc.) They may dirty the inside of the ice maker and lead to break down.
   • Step 5 : Do not tilt the water tank. Otherwise, water may spill when you carry it.
   • Step 5 : Insert the water tank securely. Ice cubes are not be made unless the tank is inserted fully.
   Ice cubes are made automatically.

2. Take out ice cubes.
   •  2 types of ice cube are made at the same time.
   • Ice cubes piled up at the back of the ice storage box. Spread them out to the front part to make more ice cubes.
   How to assemble or disassemble water tank
   • The picture above shows how to assemble the tank. Disassembly is in an opposite way.

Note

• It takes approximately 24 hours to make the first set of ice cubes.

• For hygienic reasons, refill the water once a week even if water remains in the tank.

• Remove the water tank approximately once a week and wash it with water.

• When you leave the tank empty, it may sometimes make a groaning noise but this is normal.

• Do not place the shovel or food on top of the ice cubes.
  This may cause the automatic ice maker to malfunction (damage of the detection lever, etc.) or the case not being able to be pulled out. Set the shovel at the designated location.
  

• Large size ice may not be made when the water level of the water tank is low even if large ice mode is selected.
  White in ice cubes and floating substance

• The minerals contained in water may solidify and whiten as water freezes. Minerals turn into a state which is insoluble once it freezes, so melting the ice cubes will leave only white floating substance, but this is normal.

• This is more likely to happen when you use hard water (e.g. The hardness of the water is 100 mg/L or more).

Ice making takes longer when:

• The room temperature is high.
• Less cooling operation, e.g. in winter.
• Many food products are stored.
• Refrigerator is defrosting of the cooling unit.
• The door is frequently opened.
• When you restart the ice making operation.
• Energy saving mode is in operation.

Ice making right after changing the mode

• The batch of ice cubes made right after changing the operating mode does not reflect the change in size. This is because there are still half-made ice cubes left in the ice tray when switching to the changed mode. Ice cubes of the 2nd batch or later reflects the mode change.

Protrusions of ice cubes:
There are some slits in the ice tray.

• Therefore, the ice cubes have protrusions that caused by these slits.
• The protrusions may be pointed. Be careful when putting the ice cube directly in your mouth.

Canceling Ice making

• Use this mode during night time or winter time.
• You can use the ice storage box as a freezer case.

After canceling the ice making

• Even after canceling the ice making mode, the ice tray and the detection lever operates because the ice maker conducts the ice releasing once.
• Wait 5 hours after canceling the ice making to put food in the ice storage box.

To start operation again

• Refer to “Ice making”.

Ice tray cleaning

• This mode is for cleaning the ice tray and the pipe.
• When use this mode : Before making ice for the first time or when the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
• The water is supplied from the water tank to the ice tray forcibly.
• The water discharge amount at one cleaning will be 100mL.
  However, when large ice mode is set as on, the water discharge will be 230mL.

Preparation

• Pour water into the water tank and set it.
• Empty the ice storage box.

How to operate

5. Follow steps 3 to 4 again.
6. Press enter key to complete. Empty the water in the ice storage box.
Dry it thoroughly and set it into the original position.

Note

• The setting of ice making returns to previous state after the cleaning is completed once.
