ENERGY SAVING TIPS • • • • The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight. Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil. Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance.
FREEZING • • • The low temperature freezing chamber may keep food fresh for a long time and it is mainly used to store frozen foods and making ice. The freezing chamber is suitable for storage of meat, fish, rice balls and other foods not to be consumed in short term. Meat is preferably divided into small pieces for easy access. Please note food shall be consumed within the shelf time.
