Using Your Appliance
Tips for using this appliance
Before storing cooked foods in the refrigerator, allow them to cool to room temperature. To maintain adequate air circulation, do not over fill
• the appliance. If there is too much food inside, the
compressor does not work as effectively.
Do not open the door any more than necessary - this will keep the temperature as cold as possible inside.
When storing frozen food in the freezer, make sure that you follow the food manufacturers guidelines.
Ices and water ices should not be consumed straight from the freezer - this can cause ice burns to the tongue and hands.
Never touch the inside of the appliance, or any frozen items with wet hands. This can cause injury to your hands if they stick to cold surfaces.
Wrap or cover foods well before storing. Always make sure that any packaging is air tight and suitable for use inside a fridge or freezer.
Cooked meats and raw meats should be stored on separate shelves, and raw meat should not be allowed to drip onto other foods. Food which is to be frozen should not be in direct contact with already frozen food.
You may hear gurgling noises or a humming sound while the appliance is in use and this is perfectly nor­mal when the compressor is running and the coolant is moving through the system.
A clicking sound may be heard, this is the thermostat and is normal.
This appliance is designed to operate in an ambient temperature between 16 and 38 °C.
Effervescent (fizzy) drinks should not be stored in the freezer or low temperature compartments.
Do not exceed the storage times recommended by the food manufacturer andd always check expiry dates.
Smaller portions of fresh food freeze quicker than large portions. Divide large portions into smaller ones. This helps to preserve the nutrients and quality of the foo d
Always allow warm food to cool down before freezing it, preferably to room temperature.
Before you store large amounts of food in the freezer, adjust the thermostat to the maximum (coldest) set­ting while the appliance freezes the food. After 24 hours, re-set the thermostat to the previous setting.
Only thaw the amount of food you need, once food has been thawed cook it immediately.

.
In the event of a power cut
If the power failure is 3 hours or less, food can remain inside the appliance. Keep the door closed to maintain the temperature inside. If the power cut is longer than 3 hours, remove all food, wrap well and store in a cool dry place.
Important: Be aware that the storage life of the food will have been reduced. Use up this food as soon as pos­sible or discard. Do not re-freeze food which has thawed, either consume or cook and re-freeze if appropri­ate.
