Before first use of the fridge

You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.

It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda

and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior.

The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.

The green power light and the red temperature warning light on the control panel will be lit when you have plugged the

appliance in to the power supply. Then turn the thermostat dial fully clockwise until the red temperature warning light

on the control panel goes off.

Approximately two hours after the red light has gone off, turn the thermostat down to the required level.

Please note:

The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the correct temperature.

If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage

to the compressor.

Use

Fridge

• Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.

• Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being

put into the refrigerator.

• Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation

problems which will be difficult to remove.

• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.

• Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and

avoid unpleasant odours.

• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent

deterioration caused by the door being open for prolonged periods.

• Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.

• Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save energy.

Freezer

• The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.

• Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer.

• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods

should not be stored for more than three months after the purchase date.

• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of the

food after thawing.

• Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.

• Label the food before freezing with information including type of food and dates of storage and expiry.

• Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has been completely cooked. Only defrost as much food as is

required to prevent wastage.

• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment as they could explode.
