STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
When storing food in the appliance, follow the recommendations below. Allow warm food and beverages to cool down before storing them in the appliance. Ensure that food is well-wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing in taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent cross-flavouring. Vegetables, fruit and salad need not be wrapped, provided that they are stored in the refrigerator vegetable compartments. Never let any oil or grease come into contact with the plastic fittings or door seals, as these materials easily become porous. Never store any explosive substances inside the appliance. High-proof alcohol should only be stored upright in tightly sealed containers. Please keep the space between shelf and the rear wall of the enclosed space of the cabinet is 10mm for air circulation.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

The appliance is not operating at all or the temperature is too high Check that the power plug is correctly connected. Is the temperature control on the front panel correctly set? Does sun shine on the appliance or are there heat sources nearby? Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall? The food in the refrigerator is frozen Is the temperature control on the front panel set to the coldest temperature? Is the surrounding temperature too low? Did you put food with a high water content in the refrigerator? There are unusual noises Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level floor. Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall? Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the appliance? Is the noise coming from the compressor in the appliance? A ticking sound may be heard inside the appliance; this is normal. This sound occurs when the various accessories contract or expand. The front corners and sides of the appliance are warm and condensation starts to form Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance to prevent condensation from forming. When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be effective. However, this is not abnormal. In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer surface of the appliance when the moisture in the air comes into contact with the cool surface of the appliance.
SR-L39-ENG(NEW) 3/30/59 9:38 AM Page 16
You can hear a liquid babbling in the appliance This is the refrigerant, which cools the inside of the appliance. There is a bad smell inside the appliance You did not seal the food. If there is a bad smell, clean the bio-deodorizer. Store foods covered and clean the cold inlet. There is a layer of frost on the appliances walls Is the air outlet on the appliance plugged in? Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation. Is the door fully closed? Condensation forms on the inside wall of the appliance and around vegetables Food with a high water content is stored uncovered with a high humidity level or the door has been left open for a long time. Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.

USAGE PRECAUTIONS

Store food with a high water content at the front of a refrigerator shelf. Store hot food in the appliance after it has cooled. If you store cold food, you save on electricity and improve refrigeration.

Power Saving Tips

Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example). Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance. Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance. Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator. Defrost the freezer when ice builds up. A thick coat of ice will impair the transfer of cold to the frozen products, thereby increasing power consumption. Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter the time for which the door is opened, the less ice will form in the freezer. When freezing food or storing it in the freezer, place the food directly on the freezer elements in the top container.
