GENERAL ADVICE
•
Follow packaging “best before/use by” guidelines for maximum storage time.
•
Keep foods covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour transfer. Plastic bags, aluminium foil and plastic stretch wrap
are ideal.
•
Select chilled and frozen foods last when shopping, transport in a “cool bag” and place in the appliance as soon as possible
after arriving home.
•
Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily or for longer than needed.
•
Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in an appliance, as placing hot food in the appliance
reduces efficiency.
•
Do not use to store poisonous, flammable or dangerous substances, your appliance has been designed or the storage of edible
foodstuffs only.
•
Pack and store cooked and fresh food separately.
•
Wrap raw or defrosting meat and poultry in polythene or foil and store below cooked foods and dairy products to avoid
contamination or dripping food juices.
•
Wrap cheeses in greaseproof paper and place in an airtight polythene bag. Bring to room temperature before consuming.
•
Empty left over canned food into a covered storage container before placing in the fridge compartment.
•
Position food in the fridge compartment to allow cold air to circulate freely.
•
Use the different storage zones inside your fridge compartment to store a wide variety of food items.
•
Generally speaking long term storage of foods in the freezer compartment means up to 3 months but this can vary so always
follow your food supplier’s recommendations.
•
Liquid filled bottles or sealed fizzy drinks must not be stored in the freezer compartment as they may burst.
•
Lollipops and water ices should not be given to children directly from the freezer. The low temperature may cause “freezer
burns” on lips.
•
Store ice cream towards the top front of the freezer and remove from freezer 15-30 minutes before serving.
•
Ensure food is labelled and dated before placing in the freezer.
•
Once thawed, food should be cooked and eaten within 24 hours or cooked and refrozen.
•
For non frost-free units defrost your freezer when the ice is between 3-5mm thick.
A thick layer of ice will increase the running costs of your appliance.

APPLIANCE PACKAGING INFORMATION
All material are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned at an incineration plant without danger!
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows:
PE :
for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior.
PS :
for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.
DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES
For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and –at the
end of its service life- for your new appliance as well.
Warning!
Before disposing of old appliances make them remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the
danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-
endangering situations.
Disposal :
•
The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.
•
The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at back of the appliance, may not be damaged.
•
Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.
NOTICE
Ensure the fridge door closed completely because the interior light can be switched off although the door is not completely
closed.
NOTE :
The edge of the refrigerator door and the front side of the refrigerator cabinet may be hot. This is normal and intended to
prevent the formation of condensation.
Gurgling noises etc. inside the refrigerating circuit are normal.
