STORING FOOD
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality. The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.

Meats / Fish / Poultry
� Place on a plate or 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.

Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags ( do not seal ) and place in the Vegetable crisper. Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins e.g. oranges do not require wrapping.

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 increases the temperature in the unit and increases the risk of food spoilage.

Dairy Products & Eggs
� Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer packaging which informs the recommended temperature and shelf life of the product. � Eggs should be stored in the Egg tray.

FOR BEST FREEZING
� Quality of foods should be fresh. � Food should be properly stored or covered and the air should be removed to seal tightly. � Evenly place the food in the freezer. � Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.

CARE AND CLEANING
Some household cleaning chemicals may affect the inside surfaces and plastic shelves resulting in splitting or cracks occurring. When cleaning all plastic parts inside this refrigerator, only use diluted dishwashing liquid (soapy water). Make sure that all plastic parts are thoroughly rinsed with water after cleaning.
1.Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water; rinse in clean water and dry. 2.Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off soapy water. 3.Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled. 4.Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and warm soapy dishwashing water. 5.Whenever the refrigerator is moved to clean or repositioned, Evaporating pan should be removed and cleaned.

Replacing the lamp bulb
Replace lamp bulb with same type. Refrigerator: base E12, MAX 10W, T-20. Make sure that the rated voltage and wattage of the lamp bulb are correct when replacing (check the label near the bulb). When replacing the lamp bulb, unplug the refrigerator first to prevent electric shock.

NOTE:
� Do not use polishing powder, benzine, hot water etc. � If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result. � Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components as they can cause cracking of the plastic surface.

Switching off your refrigerator
If you switch your refrigerator off when you are going away for an extended period, remove all food, clean the interior thoroughly. Remove the power cord plug from the power socket and leave all doors open.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Before you call for service, check the following point .

IT IS NORMAL for the refrigerator to produce the
following sounds. � Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while. � Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor --- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic defrost operation. � Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound) --- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may become louder from time to time).

� Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during cooling. � Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of internal parts.

IT IS NORMAL that the outside of a cabinet may be hot when IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SERVICE

touched. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew generation.
