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 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.

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 such food as need not to be frozen, the cooked food, beer, eggs, some condiments that need cold preservation,  milk, fruit juice, etc. The crisper box is suitable for the preservation of vegetables, fruits, etc.
The freezer compartment is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food and the foods to be preserved for a long time.

Use of the fresh food compartment
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.

Cautions for food storage
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 over pack the refrigerator compartment. 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：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 hot food to cool down to 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.

Use of the frozen food storage compartment
The freezer temperature is controlled below -16℃, 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.

Energy saving tips

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe container dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.

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 foods to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control panel to the low mode, with the freezer  temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner, with the food freshness well kept.
