Use of thefresh food compartment
Setthetemperatureofthefreshfoodstoragecompartmentbetween 36℉~46℉,andstorethefoodsthatareintended
for short-termstorage, or tobeeatenatanytimeinthefreshfood compartment.
Fridgeshelf:Whenremovingthe shelf, liftitupfirst,andthenpullit out;andwhen installing the shelf, placeitintoposition
beforeputtingitdown.(Forthetwo-sectionshelf,pushthe firstsectiontotherearend,andthenpullthesecondsection
out). Keep theshelf rear flange upward,toprevent foodsfromcontactthe liner wall.When taking outorputting in theshelf,
hold it firmly, and handle withcaretoavoiddamage.
Crisper box:Pull outthe crisperboxforaccess tofood.Afterusingor cleaningthe coverplateofthe crisper box,be sure
toputit backontothe crisper, sothat theinternal temperatureof thecrisper boxwill not beaffected.
Use of thehumidityregulating rod of thecrisperbox
The humidityregulating rodisused topreservemoistureinsidethe crisperbox,so as tokeepfresh the
vegetables and fruitsstoredinside.
When the humidityregulatingrod isadjustedtotherightside, withmoreholes exposed,the internalmoistureof
the crisperbox can be maintained at the lowlevel.
When the humidityregulatingrod isadjusted tothe left side,with less holesexposed,the internalhumidityofthe
crisperboxcanbe maintained at thehighlevel.
Cautions forfood storage
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
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.

Use of thefrozenfood storage compartment
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.
★Allowthe hot foodstocool downtothe roomtemperaturebeforeputtingtheminthefreezer compartment.
★Donotputaglasscontainerwithliquid orthecanned liquid thatissealedin the freezercompartment, soastoavoid
burstdue tovolumeexpansionafter the liquid getsfrozen up.
★Divide thefoodintoappropriatelysmallportions
★You dbetter packthefood upbeforefreezing it,andthe packing bagusedshouldbe dry, in casethepackingbagsare
frozen together. Foodsshould be packed orcovered bysuchsuitable materialsasarefirm,tasteless,impervioustoair
and water, non-toxic andpollution-free, toavoid cross-contaminationandtransferof odor.
