Energy saving tips
Do not install the appliance near stoves,
radiators or other sources of warmth.
Keep the time the appliance is open to a
minimum.
Do not set the temperature colder than
necessary.

of the appliance are at some distance
from the wall, and follow the instructions

Hints for fresh food refrigeration
Do not store warm foods or evaporating
liquids in the appliance.
Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavor or odor.
Position food so that air can circulate freely
around it.
Hints for refrigeration
Meat (all types): wrap in polyethylene
(plastic)
bags and place on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer. For safety,
store in this way only one or two days at
the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc...: these
should be covered and may be placed on
any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer provided.
Hisense Refrigerator
Butter and cheese:these should be placed
in aluminum foil or polyethylene (plastic)
bags while removing as much air as
possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Hints for freezing
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use. Before putting the food in the
compartment, let the appliance run at
2 hours on the higher settings.
Prepare food in small portions to enable it
to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible to subsequently thaw
only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or
polyethylene (plastic) and make sure that
the packages are airtight.
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food that is already frozen, thus avoiding a
rise in the temperature of the latter.
Iced products, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer compartment,
can possibly cause skin to become freezer
burnt.
It is recommended to label and date each
frozen package in order to keep track of
the storage time.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
Ensure that frozen food has been stored
correctly by the food retailer.
Once defrosted, foods deteriorate rapidly
and can not be re-frozen.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated
by the food manufacturer.
Note:
If the appliance contains related
accessories and functions.
Switching off your appliance
Empty the appliance.
Pull out the power plug.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
Ensure that all doors are wedged open
slightly to allow air to circulate.
