IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE
PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed
of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority
dierentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this
service.

Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from
inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be
recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. As a
reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately,
the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin

.

Before First Use of the Fridge/Freezer

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 then
thoroughly dry the interior.

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

Please note:

The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the
correct temperature.
If the appliance is switched o, you should allow five minutes
before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the
compressor.

Fridge Use

• 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 dicult 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 sucient 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.

5

Freezer Use

• 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. Only defrost

as much food as is required to prevent wastage.

• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the

freezer compartments as they could explode.

• The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen

within a 24 hour period is 10 kg.

• Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

• To freeze fresh food more quickly, switch on the fast

freeze function a few hours prior to placing the food in the
freezer.

6

• Do not use the fast freeze function for more than 48 hours.

Use over the recommended time will place unnecessary
strain on the refrigeration system.
