How to store food properly
1. Allow warm food to cool before storing in
the refrigerator to prevent the effect of odor
on other foods.
2. Maintain space between food to allow cold
air to circulate sufficiently inside the
refrigerator.
3. For better taste do not refreeze food once
defrosted completely.
4. For longer periods of storage, a label with
the food name and date of purchase can
be useful.
5. Do not store food for longer than the
recommended time.
Recommended period of
refrigeration
For the best taste please refer to the
following recommended refrigeration
period table.
Please clean your refrigerator regularly to keep
food fresh and safe.
How to defrost
To maintain the most efficient operation of the
refrigerator with the minimum electrical energy
consumption, defrost the ice making compartment
when the frost is about 5mm/(1/4 inch) thick.
Set the temperature control to off. Drain pan
must be placed directly beneath the evaporator
to catch melting water. Keep the door open to
speed up defrosting. Empty water from the
drain pan as required.
Beef 2-3 days
Pork 3-4 days
Poultry 1-2 days
Fish 2-3 days
Ham, Sausage 3-4 days
Bean curd 1 day
