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
suitable for the freezing and storage of pre-frozen
food. The recommendation for
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.
In order to freeze fresh food it is recommended to
pack the products in aluminium or plastic sheet,
cool them in the fresh food compartment and
store them on the freezer compartment shelf.
It is preferable that the shelf be fixed in the upper
side of the freezer compartment.
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.

Temperature control and adjustment

Operating temperatures are controlled by the
thermostat knob and may be set at any position
between 1 and 5 (the coldest position). If the
thermostat knob is in position "0" the appliance is off.
In this case neither the lamp for inside lighting will
light. 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
rated and
you check the temperature periodically with a
thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is kept to
storage
this temperature. Frequent door openings cause
internal temperatures to rise, so it is advisable to
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 16 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.
