Functions

The refrigerator is for short-term
food storage of daily
consumption.
Although the temperature in most areas in
the refrigeration compartment can be
regulated between 2°C and 10°C, extended
periods of food storage is not recommended.
Refrigerator should only be used for short-
term storage.
Storage areas
As cold air circulates inside the refrigerator,
temperature differences exist inside the
storage compartments. Area is the coldest.
Different foods should be placed in different
areas according to their properties.
Eggs, butter and cheese
Canned food, seasonings, beverages and
bottled food
Chinese onion, garlic bolt, turnip, carrot
and asparagus
Pickled food or canned pickled food
Wheaten food, canned food, milk and
beancurd
Cooked meat and sausages
Fruit, vegetables and salad
Sashimi, lamb and beef (stay best max. 3
days)
Lamp and its replacement
Lamp: 5V DC, 1W
LED lamp is used for low energy
consumption and extended service life. If the
lamp does not work properly, contact
authorized service agent for technical
assistance.
Wine rack
The wine rack is located right above the food
shelf and can be moved freely to either side.
The rack is contoured for loading beer and
wine bottles. (When the rack slides, a slight
sound might be heard.)
About refrigerator

How to use vegetable basket
* The vegetable basket is designed for holding
Chinese onion, garlic bolt, turnip, carrot and
asparagus.
* Over the baffle, cans, seasoning, beverage and
small bottles can be stored.
* Remove the baffle if Chinese onions or garlic bolts
or alike are to be placed. (As shown in the figure)
* Keep the baffle slightly tilted (about 30°) for easy
access.
* Other articles can be stored at your discretion.
Baffle
Vegetable
basket
Hot food must be cooled to room
temperature before storing in the appliance.
Dry any water droplets on the food before
placing it in the appliance.
Food to be stored should be properly
sealed.
This will prevent moisture in the food from
evaporating and prevent vegetables and
fruit from tainting in flavor.
Storage of sorted food
Food to be stored should be sorted
according to consumer requirements. Food
consumed daily should be placed in the
most convenient area, this will minimize
opening periods for the door.
Do not store excess quantities or weights
of food
Food should be stored with spaces in
between for better storage results.
Do not place food too close to the internal
walls
Food with high moisture content should not
be placed close to the walls of the inner
liner. Maintain a space to prevent food
from freezing onto the walls.
Do not load food, especially the food with oil content, against interior walls
as oil stains might result in corrosion of the walls. Always keep interior
walls clean.
Precautions

Ripe squash, melon, pawpaw, bananas
and pineapples should not be stored in
the refrigerator. Freezing will accelerate
the ripening process.
Leaves of carrots or turnips should be removed before storage.
Eggs should be stored vertically in the egg
holder.
Frozen food can be placed in the cold
compartment before serving, as this will
conserve energy.
Onions, garlic, ginger, water chestnuts
and other root vegetables should not be
stored in the refrigerator, as these foods
are suitable for long-term storage at
normal temperatures.
Caution: Vegetables and fruits should be stored on the upper areas in the
refrigerator when ambient temperature is between 0-10°C and the
temperature in the lower area of the refrigerator compartment is around 0°C.
Suggestions

The appliance has a wide temp zone (-3°C~-18°C). When temperature is
set at -18°C, the zone can be used as freezer compartment. When
temperature is set between -3°C and -7°C, the zone has the following
advantages:
* Defrosting free: Food in storage in the wide temp zone can be prepared for cooking
without manual or microwave defrosting
* Nutritional value preservation: Nutritional values of food in storage in the wide temp
zone can be better preserved.
* Easy processing: Meat in wide temp zone can be easily cut; Minced meat in wide temp
zone can serve directly.
* Stored overlapped food in wide temp zone can be easily separated before serve.
* Extended storage period as follows: 14 days for meat and 7 days for fish under -7°C;
10 days for meat and 5 days for fish under -5°C; 7 days for meat and 3 days for fish
under -3°C.
Food recommended for storage (-3°C~-7°C):
Fresh fish and meat, food with curry coating, minced meat, fresh fruit juice
Food not recommended for storage (-3°C~-7°C):
Ice cream and frozen food, which should be stored in the freezing compartment.
Advantages of wide temp zone (-3°C~-7°C):
* Fried food will be crisper if stored in the wide temp zone in advance.
* Cold dishes will become more delicious if stored in the wide temp zone before serving.
* Roasted sashimi and cuttlefish will be more delicious after stored in the wide temp
zone.
* Salad will be more delicious after stored in the wide temp zone.
* Vegetables such as spinach stored in the compartment can be servedafter slightly
steeped in hot water.
* Nutrient value and natural flavor of fresh fruits will be well preserved after stored in the
wide temp zone.
* Efficient cooling function for hot food can be achieved.
Caution: Cutting of meat or fish may vary due to their moisture contents and
sharpenness of kitchen knife. It is suggested that the meat or fish be cut
after being placed in room temperature a few minutes.
About wide-temp zone

Long-term storage of food
As the freezer storage temperature is very low, fresh
food can be stored in the freezer compartment for a
long time. Food requiring long-term storage can be
stored in the freezer. Follow the instructions on the
package for storage period.
Attention should be paid to the storage information printed on the food packing.

Storage period is subject to the detailed information on the food packing, property of the
food for storage and special requirements.
Super freeze
Select super freeze if a large quantity of fresh food is to be loaded in freezer (see relative
section afore); Do not select super freeze mode for the food less than 1kg or pre-frozen.
Making ice cubes
* As shown in Figure 1, hold and remove the ice cube box from the door lining.
* Place the uncovered ice cube box as shown in Figure 2, fill the box with water. Make
sure that the water surface is below the water level mark.
Caution: If excessive water is filled, ice cubes might not be easily removed. Turn the ice
cube box 90°around as shown in Figure 2, leave it alone until the water deposits well in
oval moulds and finally load the ice cube box back into the door lining.
* When ice cubes are ready for service, remove the ice cube box and immerse the box in
warm water for a while. Uncover and rap the box and pour all ice cubes from the water
inlet. (Make sure no ice cube is left inside the box, or ice cubes will not be easily
removed next time.)
