Suggested arrangement of food in the
appliance
Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage and
hygiene:
1. The fridge compartment is for the short-term
storage of fresh food and drinks.
2. The freezer compartment is
and suitable for the freezing and storage of pre-
frozen food. The recommendation for
storage as stated on the food packaging should
be observed at all times.
3. Dairy products should be stored in the special
compartment provided in the door liner.
4. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight
containers.
5. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the
shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be
cleaned and stored in the crispers.
6. Bottles can be kept in the door section.
7. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags
and place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to
come into contact with cooked food, to avoid
contamination. For safety, only store raw meat for
two to three days.
8. For maximum efficiency, the removable
shelves should not be covered with paper or other
materials to allow free circulation of cool air.
9. Do not keep vegetable oil on door shelves.
Keep the food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow
hot food and beverages to cool before
refrigerating. Leftover canned food should not be
stored in the can.
10. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and
products such as flavoured water ices should not
be consumed too cold.
11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if
kept at temperatures near 0°C. Therefore wrap
pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and
similar produce in polythene bags.
12. High-proof alcohol must be stored upright in
tightly closed containers. Never store products
that contain an inflammable propellant gas (e.g.
cream dispensers, spray cans, etc.) or explosive
substances. These are an explosion hazard.
13. To take out the baskets from the freezer
compartment please proceed as in Item 9.
Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the
thermostat knob (Item 5) and may be set at any
position between 1 and 5 (the coldest position).
The average temperature inside the fridge should
be around +5°C (+41°F). Therefore adjust the
thermostat to obtain the desired temperature.
Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or
warmer (such as salad crisper and top part of the
cabinet) which is quite normal. We recommend
that you check the temperature periodically with a
thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is kept to
this temperature. Frequent door openings cause
internal temperatures to rise, so it is advisable to
rated
close the door as soon as possible after use.
Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at
the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended under
"Cleaning and care."
4. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket
and the electricity is switched on. When the door
is open the interior light will come on.
And note that:
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts
up. The liquid and gases sealed within the
refrigeration system may also make some (noise),
whether the compressor is running or not. This is
quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is
quite normal due to the manufacturing process
used; it is not a defect.
7. We recommend setting the thermostat knob
midway and monitor the temperature to ensure the
appliance maintains desired storage temperatures
(See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is
switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We recommend
checking the temperature with an accurate
thermometer (see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment).
Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage
of commercially frozen foods and also can be
used to freeze and store fresh food.
If there is a power failure, do not open the door.
Frozen food should not be affected if the failure
lasts for less than 13 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and either eaten
immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
Freezing fresh food
Please observe the following instructions to obtain
the best results. Do not freeze too large a quantity
at any one time. The quality of the food is best
preserved when it is frozen right through to the
core as quickly as possible.
