INTRODUCTION

Before use

Please read these instructions and the Safety guidelines and Warnings on pages 1 and 2 carefully before using your new Refrigerator/Freezer. This appliance is for indoor, domestic use only.

LOCATION OF PARTS

INSTALLATION

Location

When selecting a position for your Refrigerator/Freezer, you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 61ᵒF and 95ᵒF (16ᵒC to 35ᵒC). Avoid locating your Freezer near a heat source, e.g., oven, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight. Never place the appliance in a wall recess or into a fitted cabinet. When your appliance 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 unit has at least 9cm (3½”) of free space and the sides have 3cm (¾”). Do not drape the appliance with any covering.

Leveling the Refrigerator/Freezer

If the appliance is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected and may cause your unit to work incorrectly. Once the Refrigerator/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 Refrigerator/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 unit. The external parts of the Refrigerator/Freezer can be cleaned with wax polish. See page 6 for more details on cleaning.

Before plugging in YOU MUST

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

Before switching on

DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE REFRIGERATOR/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 Refrigerator/Freezer

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

When the door is open for more than 3 minutes, the display will be continuously on, the buzzer will buzz until the door is shut ; the display is restored to stand by start. A faulty temperature transducer will cause alarm until the fault is removed.

Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge:

 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 that 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 returning 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.

Tips for shopping for frozen foods:

 Yours is 4 star Freezer

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 -18ᵒC.

 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 while shopping and on the trip home as this will help to keep the food cooler.

 Store food right away

Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it right away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep frozen food colder 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 use the “fast freezing” function. This will lower the temperature in the Freezer (approx -30ᵒC), 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.
