[. . . ] In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded. WARNING Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. [. . . ] Turn the control dial to a desired temperature. CAUTION Never use any sharp or metallic instruments to remove ice, frost or ice tray from the evaporator. 11 Suggestions on food storage Storing Food • How food is frozen and defrosted is an important factor in maintaining freshness and flavor. • Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples and melons. • Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Adding too much warm food to the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to high electric bills. • Do not open doors too frequently. Whenever the door is opened, warm air enters the refrigerator, causing temperatures to rise. Evaporator Compartment • Do not store bottles in the evaporator compartment –they may break when frozen. • Do not refreeze food that has been completely thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutritional value. Refrigerator Compartment • When storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in a covered container. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients. • Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. • Food with odor (fish, cheese, butter etc. ) should be wrapped securely or stored in closed containers. NOTE In case of placing a big bottle in the COMMODITY RACK, if excessive force is used to open/close the door, the bottle may fall down, so be careful. 12 Trouble Shooting Before calling for service, check this list.
