defrosting can shorten its storage life.
• Manufacturer's recommended storage times should be adhered to. Refer
to relevant instructions.
• Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen
goods.
• The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting
of contens or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food com-
partment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end
of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is
designed.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as
bananas.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually
defrost your appliance, as this will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rising during the defrost can comply with ISO requirement,
But If you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen
food while defrosting the appliance, please wrap the frozen food in sev-
eral layers of newspaper.
