This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is

combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure

that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes

could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential

sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.

In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit

occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of

refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of

R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance

is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing

any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

• If the refrigerator doors are opened or closed too

often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator

and raise its temperature. This can increase the

running costs of the unit.

Food Storage Tips

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight

and moisture-proof material unless otherwise

noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer

throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,

check date code to ensure freshness.

Food How to Store

Butter or

Margarine

Keep opened butter in covered

dish or closed compartment. When

storing an extra supply, wrap in

freezer packaging and freeze.

Cheese

Store in original wrapping until

used. Once opened, rewrap tightly

in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Milk

Wipe milk cartons. For coldest

milk, place containers on an

interior shelf.

Eggs

Store in original carton on interior

shelf, not on door shelf.

Fruit

Do not wash or hull fruit until it

is ready to be used. Sort and

keep fruit in original container in

a crisper, or store in completely

closed paper bag on refrigerator

shelf.

Leafy

Vegetables

Remove store wrapping, trim or

tear off bruised and discolored

areas, wash in cold water, and

drain. Place in plastic bag or

plastic container and store in

crisper.

Vegetables

with skins

(carrots,

peppers)

Place in plastic bags or plastic

container and store in crisper.

Fish

Freeze fresh fish and shellfish

if they are not being eaten the

same day purchased. Eating fresh

fish and shellfish the same day

purchased is recommended.

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap

or aluminum foil, or store in plastic

containers with tight lids.

ENGLISH

19

OPERATION

Storing Frozen Food

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

for further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity

of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the

freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more

than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer

space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air

to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave

enough room at the front so the door can close

tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and

type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used

(how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage

temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package

are normal. This simply means that moisture in the

food and air inside the package have condensed,

creating ice crystals.

NOTE

• Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature

for 30 minutes, and then package and freeze.

Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct

packaging. When you close and seal the package,

it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it

does, you could have food odor and taste transfer

throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out

frozen food.

Packaging recommendations

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper

freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers

• Non-polyethylene plastic containers

• Containers without tight lids

• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
