[. . . ] The last page of this User's Manual sets out specifications of this appliance and the performance data indicated in the rating plate are test results obtained at an ambient temperature range of 10~32°C. If using it for industrial or commercial purpose, be sure to observe the relevant norms and regulations. A leakage test has been conducted in accordance with relevant safety standard. To avoid the risk of child entrapment, please make sure your old refrigerator is inoperative and safe by removing the latches and bolt locks before disposal. [. . . ] Microbes can get food spoiled very quickly, unless there growth is sprouted by low temperature environment. It is recommended to set the temperature to 5°C or lower which may effectively eliminate food spoiling process by microbes. The higher the temperature regulator is set, the lower the temperature within the freezer will be. Normally, when food requires only short period of storage, select a medium setting. Normally, when food requires a long period of storage, select a high setting. Never add caned or bottled carbon dioxide drinks to the freezer, as carbon dioxide may expand when under freezing, and lead to explosion hazard. Bottled food which needs immediate cooling should be stored in the freezer for no more than one hour before they're taken out, otherwise bottles may burst. Ice cream or water ice should be allowed several minutes before using, as lips and tongue may get frostbite (chap may occur in skin). Please use reusable plastic film, aluminum film for packing food, or put food in containers. Freezer compartment (not available in some models, only for refrigerators with 4-star marking) 3-star or 4-star freezer are suitable for storing deep frozen food (already frozen before added to the freezer), storing fresh food for a short period (2-3 weeks) by freezing it, or making ice, ice cream and water ice. 1 Temperature within the freezer can be adjusted by setting temperature regulator. For fresh food and food which needs to be stored for a long period, -18°C or below is recommended, as microbes can barely survive under this temperature. Once temperature is higher than -10°C, microbes will start to cause spoiling of food, and storage period of food will be effectively reduced. If you need to freeze food which is already partly or totally thawed, please cook it before adding it to the freezer again. Use bungee, clip, rope or freezing-resistant tape for sealing of food package. Place the wide side of food package downward to obtain a faster freezing process. Wipe the packages dry before adding them to the freezer, as they may stick together when frozen. If you need to freeze food which is already partly or totally thawed, please cook it before adding it to the freezer again. Don't use food which is already expired, as they may cause poisoning. Making ice cubes, ice cream and water ice (not available in some models, only for refrigerators with 4-star marking) Making ice cubes: Add water to ice tray to 3/4 of its volume, place it at the bottom area of the freezer. When ice cubes are ready, flush the ice tray with running water, then, you can easily take out the ice cubes. Please note the creamier your ice cream is, the longer it will take to make it.
