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
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. The high
temperature of cooking process can eliminate most
microbes.
2 The higher the temperature regulator is set, the
lower the temperature within the freezer will be.

storage, select a medium setting.
4 Normally, when food requires a long period of
storage, select a high setting.

the freezer, as carbon dioxide may expand when under
freezing, and lead to explosion hazard.

stored in the freezer for no more than one hour before
