Food storage
Inthe fridge mode:It is suitableforthe storage of suchfoodsasneed nottobefrozen, the cooked food, beer, eggs, some
condimentsthatneed coldpreservation, milk, fruit juice, etc.
Inthe freezermode, itissuitable for thestorageofice cream, frozenfoodandthefoodstobe preserved foralong time.
Fridgeshelf:Whenremovingthe shelf, liftitupfirst,andthenpullit out;andwhen installing the shelf, placeitintoposition
beforeputting it down.
Crisperbox: Pull out thecrisper boxfor accesstofood.
Cautions forfood storage (inthe fridgemode)
You dbetter cleanthe foodsand wipe themdrybeforestoringtheminside therefrigerator. Beforefoodsareputin the
refrigerator, it isadvisable toseal themup,soastopreventwater evaporationtokeep freshfruitsand vegetables on one
hand,and preventtaint ofodoron theother hand.
Donotputtoo manyortooweightfoodsinsidethe refrigerator. Keep enoughspacebetween foods;iftooclose,the cold
airflowwill beblocked,thusaffectingtherefrigerationeffect. Donotstoreexcessiveoroverweightfoods,toavoidthe
shelffrombeing crushed.When storingthe foods,keep adistanceawayfromthe innerwall;and do notplacethe
water-rich foodstoo closetothefridge rear wall, lest theyget frozen on the inner wall.
Categorizedstorage offoods：Foodsshould bestored bycategory,withthe foodsyou eat everydayplaced in frontofthe

6
shelf, sothat thedoor open durationcanbe shortened and food spoilage duetoexpiration can be avoid.
Energy-savingtips:Allowthe hotfoodcool downtothe roomtemperaturebeforeputting itin the refrigerator. Putthe
frozen foodin thefreshfood compartmenttothaw,using the lowtemperatureofthefrozen foodtocool the freshfood,
thussavingenergy.
Storage of fruitsandvegetables
Inthecaseofrefrigeratingapplianceswithchill compartment,astatementtotheeffectthatsometypesoffresh
vegetablesandfruitsaresensitivetocoldand thereforearenot suitableforstorage in thiskind ofcompartmentshouldbe
made.
Inthe freezermode
The freezertemperatureiscontrolled below0℉,anditisadvisable tostorethefood forlong-termpreservation in the
freezer compartment, but the storage durationindicatedon thefoodpackagingshould beadhered to.
The freezer drawersareused tostorefood thatneedstobe frozen. Fishand meatoflarge blocksizeshould becut into
small piecesand packedintofresh-keepingbagsbeforetheyareevenlydistributed insidethe freezerdrawers.
Fast freezing
(1)Refer tothe descriptionaboutfast freezingfunction inthe “Function”section.
(2)Compared withthe normal freezing,fastfreezing enablesfood topassthroughthemaximumicecrystal formation
zone atthe fastestspeed. Fastfreezing can freezethe food watercontentintofineicecrystals,withoutdamaging the
cellmembrane,socell juicewill notbelostwhen thawing,and the originalfreshnessandnutritionoffoodcan be
maintained.
(3)The fast-freezingfunction isdesignedtopreservenutrition ofthe frozen food,withthe foodthoroughlyfrozen inthe
shortesttime. Fast freezing consumesmoreenergythanthenormalfreezing does.
Allowthe hotfoodstocool downtothe roomtemperaturebeforeputting theminthefreezer compartment.
Donotputaglasscontainerwithliquid orthecanned liquid thatissealedin thefreezercompartment, soastoavoid
burstdue tovolumeexpansionafter the liquid getsfrozen up.
Divide the food intoappropriatelysmallportions
You dbetter pack the food upbeforefreezingit, and thepacking bagused should be dry, in casethe packing bagsare
frozen together. Foodsshould be packed orcovered bysuchsuitable materialsasarefirm,tasteless,impervioustoair
and water, non-toxic andpollution-free, toavoid cross-contaminationandtransferof odor.
Tips forshopping thefrozenfoods
1.Whenyou arebuying frozenfood,lookat theStorage Guidelinesonthepackaging. You will be able tostoreeachitem
of frozenfoodfortheperiodshownagainstthe starrating.Thisisusuallytheperiodstatedas “Besttousethembefore×”,
found on the front of thepackaging.
2. Check the temperatureofthefrozen food cabinetin the shop whereyou buythe frozenfoods.
3. Makesurethe frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Alwaysbuyfrozen productslaston yourshopping trip orvisit tothesupermarket.
5. Trytokeepfrozen food together whilstshopping and on thejourneyhome,asthiswill helptokeepthe foodcooler.
6. Don t buyfrozenfoodunlessyou can freezeitstraight away. Special insulated bagscan be boughtfrommost
supermarketsandhardwareshops. Thesekeepthefrozen foodscold longer.
7.Forsomefoods,thawing beforecooking is unnecessary.Vegetablesandpastacan be added directlytoboiling wateror
steamcooked.Frozen saucesand soupscan be put intoasaucepan and heatedgentlyuntilthawed.
8. Usequalityfoodandhandle it aslittleaspossible.Whenfoodsarefrozen insmallquantities,it will takeless thanfor
themtofreezeup and thaw.
9. Estimatetheamount offoodstobe frozenup.Whenfreezing large amountsof freshfood, adjust the temperature
control knobtothe lowmode,withthe freezertemperaturelowered. So, foodscanbe frozen up in fastmanner, withthe
food freshnesswell kept.
