plate.
Warning:
when the ambient
temperature is not included within
the range indicated for the class of
this appliance, the following
instructions must be observed:
when the ambient temperature
drops below the minimum level, the
storage temperature in the freezer
compartment cannot be
guaranteed; therefore it is advisable
to use the food stored as soon as
possible.
• Frozen food must not be re-frozen
once it has been thawed out.
• Manufacturers’ storage
recommendations should be strictly
adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.
• The inner lining of the appliance
consists of channels through which
the refrigerant passes. If these

an hour between the supermarket
and home. It then took 11 hours to
get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
• Keep the refrigerator door closed
as much as possible.
• Do not push food together too
much, try to allow air to circulate
around each item.
• Cool cooked food as quickly as
possible but do NOT place in the
refrigerator until cool. (Leave food
in a place as cool as possible in
order that it can then be placed in
the refrigerator as soon as
possible).
• Do NOT mix raw and cooked
meat, they must be in separate
containers. Take care not to let the
meat juices drip onto other food. If
the meat does drip, remove
everything and clean thoroughly.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• Remove suspect food from your
refrigerator and clean (refer to
“Maintenance and Cleaning).
• Never allow spillages to dry and
harden.
• Store eggs in the egg rack provided
in the refrigerator door. Discard any
broken or chipped eggs.
• Regularly check the refrigerator
door seal to ensure that it is clean
and free from debris.
• Always wash your hands with
soapy water and dry them with a
clean towel before handling food.
• Keep work surfaces clean and
avoid cross contamination by not
using the same work surface or
knife, without washing them
thoroughly in between.
