Location

When selecting a position for your Fridge/Freezer you should make sure the floor is flat
and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between
16℃ and 43℃. Avoid locating your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler
or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges. If you are placing
your Fridge/Freezer in an out-building such as a garage or annex ensure that the
Fridge/Freezer is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on
the Fridge/Freezer cabinet. Never place the Fridge/Freezer in a wall recessed or into fitted
cabinets or fumiture when your Fridge/Freezer is working, the grille at the back may
become hot and the sides warm. It must therefore be installed so that the back of the
Fridge/Freezer has at least 9cm(31/2”) of free space and the sides have 2cm(3/4”). Do not
drape the Fridge/Freezer with any covering.

Leveling the Fridge/Freezer

If the Fridge/Freezer is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected
and may cause you Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly. Once the Fridge/Freezer is placed
in its final location, adjust the leveling feet at the front by turning them.

Cleaning before use

Wipe the inside of the Fridge/Freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then
rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in
warm soapy water and dry completely before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer. The external
parts of the Fridge/Freezer can be cleaned with wax polish.

Before plugging in YOU MUST

Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the
Fridge/Freezer. If not see the section called ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

Before switching on!

DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER.
The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30
minutes before switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.

Before filling your Fridge/Freezer

Before storing foods in your Fridge/Freezer, turn the Fridge/Freezer on and wait for 24
hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow the Fridge/Freezer to fail to the
correct temperature.

Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge

4

Take extra care with meat and fish

Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial
transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it
with cling film or foil.

Leave space around food

This allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept
cool.

Wrap up food!

To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered.
Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.

Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly

Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the
internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.

Shut the door!

To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When
retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only
open the door to put food in or take it out.

Where to store your foods in the fridge

Cool area

This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk, eggs, yogurt,
fruitjuices, hard cheeses eg. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of salad dressings, sauces
and jams. Fats, eg. Butter, margarine, low-fat speads, cooking fats and lard.

Coldest area: 2℃ to 5℃

This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept:

·Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.

·Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. Ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.

·Pre-cooked meats eg. Ham,

·Prepared salads(including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad etc).

·Desserts, eg. Fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers or cream cakes.

5

Salad bin

This is the most humid part of the Fridge. Vegetables, fruit, fresh salad items eg.
Unwashed whole lettuce, whole tomatoes, radishes etc can be stored here.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRODUCE KEPT IN THE SALAD BIN IS WRAPPED.
NOTE：Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at the bottom
of the fridge. This will stop them dripping onto, or touching other foods. Do not store
inflammable gasses or liquids in the fridge.

Tips for shopping for frozen foods

Your Freezer is 4 star

When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You
will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating.
This is usually the period stated as “Best, Before”, found on the front of the packaging.

Check the Fridge/Freezer temperature

Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen
foods. It should show a temperature lower than -18℃.

Choose packs carefully

Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.

Purchase frozen food last

Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.

Keep frozen foods together
Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping, and on the journey home as this will help
to keep the food cooler.

6

Store food straight away

Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can

be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep frozen food cold for
longer.

Thawing frozen food

For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be
added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into
a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.

Freezing fresh foods, useful tips

Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities, it
freezes faster, takes less time to thaw and enables you to eat it in the quantity you need.

Freezing fresh foods

First, estimate the amount of food you will be freezing. If you are freezing large amounts of
fresh food, remember to turn the control dial to Max. This will lower the temperature in the
Freezer (approx -30℃), freezing your food quicker and helping to keep the goodness in.
However you should do this sparingly to conserve energy.

Preparations for freezing

Leave cooked food to cool completely.
Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible.
Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.

Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from the

Freezer.
Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags,
plastic containers, aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits).
Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned
thoroughly first).
Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum
pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.
Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.
You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids(or solids with
liquids, such as stew) in square blocks.
This is known as “performing” Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square
sided container. Freeze it like this, then remove it from the container and seal the bag.

7

Defrosting

This appliance is designed as automatic defrosting ,no need to defrost by hand.

Recommended storage periods

For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food
packaging.

Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer

You should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda.
Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets
in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the
Fridge/Freezer.

Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer

Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge/Freezer
exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent
components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the
Fridge/Freezer

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

Trouble Shooting

Power cut

If the internal temperature of the Fridge/Freezer compartment is -18℃ or less when the

between 16℃and 32℃. Leave the Fridge/Freezer for 30 minutes.

Condensation appears on the outside of the Fridge/Freezer

This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture. If
the problem continues, contact the local store where your purchase was made.

GURGLING, WHOOSHING

These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It
has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault
and will not affect the performance of your Fridge/Freezer.

HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING

This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
