Cautions For Cold Storage; Cleaning And Care - Klarstein 10031710 Handbuch

• Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator,
• Dry any water droplets on the food before placing it in the refrigerator.
• It is recommended that food be sealed in suitable storage bags before being placed in the refrigerator;this will pre-
vent moisture in the food from evaporating and prevent vegetables and fruit from withering or altering in flavour.
• Do not store excess quantities or weights of food; food should be stored with spaces in between for better
storage results. Never overload shelves, as they may collapse under excessive loads.
• Food to be stored should be sorted according to consumer requirements. Food consumed daily should be
placed in the most convenient area, this will minimize opening periods for the door. Do not place food too
close to the internal walls.
Storage of fruit and vegetables
Storage period will be extended if vegetables are placed with their roots towards the cold source. Leaves of
carrots or turnips should be removed before storage.
Bottles
Put a wad of tissue on the bottle holder before placing bottles on it so that later cleaning is easier.
Not to be stored in the refrigerator
Onions, garlic, ginger, water chestnuts and other root vegetables should not be stored in the refrigerator,as
these foods are suitable for long-term storage at normal temperatures.
Ripe squash, melon, papaw, bananas and pineapples should not be stored in the refrigerator. Freezing will
accelerate the ripening process.
• Food holder cleaning: Food holders can be taken out for cleaning.
• Replacing the bulb: The bulb must be replaced by a bulb of the same type (220 V, 2 W). If you are unsure,
contact your local electrician.
Defrosting the cold storage compartment
The cold storage compartment is designed for automatic defrosting. Frost formed on the back wall will melt
and flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container over the
compressor on the back of the refrigerator, where the heat gene-
rated by the compressor will evaporate the water.
NOTE: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray
clear to ensure the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the rod
provided to clear any blockages.
