Helpful hints and tips
Energy saving tips
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for
long periods in order to conserve energy.
Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (Direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc)
Don't set the temperature colder than necessary.
Don't store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free, room. Please refer to Installing your new appliance chapter.
If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration.
Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
Do cover or wrap the food particularly if
it has a strong flavor.
Place food properly so that air can
circulate freely around it.
Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: They should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in the crisper box
Butter and cheese: Should be placed aluminum foil or polyethylene(plastic) bags while removing as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be stored in the door shelf.

Hints for the storage of frozen food
Switching off your appliance
Hints for freezing
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight,
Do not allow fresh unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
Iced products if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably
cause frost
burns to the skin.
It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.

Cleaning and care
For hygienic reasons the appliance (including exterior and interior accessories) should be cleaned regularly at least every two months.
The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains socket.
To maintain good appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly.
Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface.
Clean the doors, handles and cabinet
Caution!
Exterior cleaning
-
­surfaces with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. Caution!
-Don't use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface.
-Don't use Thinner, Car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or organic
Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and crisper box. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. A layer of frost may occur on the freezer compartment's interior walls if the freezer door is opened frequently or kept open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the supply of food stocks are low and proceed as follows:
1.Remove existing food and accessories , unplug the appliance from the mains power and leave the doors open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate the thawing process.
2. When defrosting is completed, clean your freezer as described above.
Defrosting in frozen-food storage compartment
In the case of speeding up the process of defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water (about 50°C) into the freezer chamber, and scrape away the ice and frost with a defrosting spatula. After doing so,be sure to set the knob of the temperature regulator to the original position.
It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or hair dryer while defrosting to avoid deformation of the inner case.
It is also not advisable to scrape off ice and frost or separate food from the containers which have been congealed together with the food with sharp tools or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing or the surface of the evaporator.
Caution! Don't use sharp objects to remove frost from the freezer compartment. Only after the interior is completely dry should the appliance be switched back on and plugged back into the mains socket.
Door seals cleaning
Caution!
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
Only after the door seals are completely dry should the appliance be powered on.
Defrosting in fresh food storage compartment
It is automatically controlled by switching the temperature regulator on or off so that there is no need of operation of defrosting. Water from defrosting will be drained into an drip tray through a drain pipe at the back of the fridge automatically.
Defrosting Why defrosting
Water contained in food or getting into air inside the fridge be opening doors may form a frost layer inside. It will weaken the refrigeration when the frost is thick. While it is more than 10mm thick, you should defrost.
13
Warning!
Important!
Switching off the appliance before defrosting, turn the temperature regulator to position “0”.
The fridge should be defrosted at least every one month. During the using process, if the door was opened frequently or using the appliance in the extreme humidity, we advise the user to defrost every two weeks.
Remove all refrigerated packages. Switch off the appliance by turning the
temperature regulator to position “0”. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply. Clean thoroughly (see section: Cleaning
and Care) Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odors.
If the appliance contains freezer
compartment
Note:
Defrosting in freezer chamber is operated manually. Before defrosting, take the food out.
Take the ice tray out or put them into the fresh food compartment temporarily.
