5. INSTRUCTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

Use precautions
- The freezer may not operate consistently (there may be some defrosting of the contents or
the temperature may become too hot) if placed in locations with a temperature out of the
temperature range for which they are designed for a long period of time.
- The internal temperature may be affected by factors such as the location of the freezer,
room temperature and the door opening frequency, etc., and you should take these factors
into account if you decide to use any temperature control devices.
- Do not store effervescent or carbonated drinks inside the device when the freezer mode
is active.
Cautions on food storage
- Leave enough space between foods; if they are too close together, they will block the flow
of cold air, which will affect the cooling effect. Do not store too much or too heavy food to
prevent the shelves from bending. When storing food, leave some space between the food
and the inner walls; do not place water-rich food too close to the freezer's inner walls to
prevent it from freezing.
- Food storage by category: place daily food items at the front of the shelf so that you can
reduce the door opening time and avoid food spoilage due to shelf life.
- Energy saving tips: let hot food cool to room temperature before storing it.
- Do not place a glass container with liquid or sealed canned liquid in the freezer compartment
to prevent them from exploding due to volume expansion after freezing the liquid.
- Food should be packed or covered with suitable materials that are firm, tasteless,
impermeable to air and water, non-toxic, and non-polluting, to avoid cross-contamination
and odour transfer.
Tips and suggestions
- It is advisable to divide large-sized food into smaller pieces and put them in freezing bags
before storing them in the freezer's drawers.
- Separate frozen food from food that's just been stored in the freezer. Not doing so may
spoil fresher food.
- Please note that some foods are sensitive to cold and are therefore not suitable for storage
in the appliance.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

If the freezer is not to be used for a long period of time:
- Turn off the refrigerator and unplug it from the power supply.
- Remove all the food.

- Clean and dry the interior completely. To avoid mould or unpleasant odours, leave the door
slightly open.
- Store the appliance in a ventilated and dry place, away from heat sources; place the
appliance carefully and do not place heavy objects on it.
- The device must be kept out of the reach of children to prevent them from playing with it.
Before cleaning, disconnect the power plug; do not connect or disconnect the power plug with
your hands wet, as there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on the
refrigerator to avoid rust, electrical leakage, and accidents. Do not reach into the bottom of the
refrigerator, as you may get scratched by the sharp metal corners.
Interior and exterior cleaning
- Food residues in the refrigerator can cause undesired odours, so you should clean the
refrigerator regularly.
- Remove all drawers and clean them with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with lukewarm
water or neutral detergent.
- After using detergent, make sure you rinse it with clean water, and then dry it with a cloth.
- Often clean dust that may accumulate. The condenser grid on the rear part of the freezer
and the adjacent components can be cleaned using a soft brush.
- Do not use strong cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents to clean any of the freezer's parts.
- Do not use bristle brushes, steel wire brushes, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent,
benzine, petrol, acid, hot water, or other corrosive elements to clean the freezer's surface,
door gasket, decorative plastic parts, etc., to avoid damage.
- Carefully dry the door gasket and clean the slot with a wooden stick wrapped with cotton.
After cleaning, fix the four corners of the door gasket and then gradually push it into the
slot in the door.
Defrost
1. When the freezer operates for a long period of time, the interior surfaces may become
covered with a layer of frost. The frost will reduce the freezer's energy efficiency and
make it less effective, for which it is advisable to remove it.
2. When defrosting, unplug the freezer and remove all items stored inside. Let the frost melt
naturally or carefully use a plastic scraper. Finally, wipe off any remaining ice and water,
switch on the freezer and put the food back into it.
WARNING:
- Never use sharp tools to remove ice.
- After defrosting, you have to clean the inside of the freezer with a weak solution of baking
soda. Then rinse with lukewarm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash
the drawers with lukewarm soapy water and make sure they are completely dry before
putting them back in the freezer.
