Using your Ice Box
• It is recommended that food is stored in the icebox for a maximum of 24 hours before use. Some
pre-frozen food may defrost and soften slightly during storage. Ice cubes can be stored in the ice box
but their quality will depend on the ambient room remperature, thermostat setting, other food items
in the fridge and / or usage.
• The ice box door holds against the evaporator and helps to regulate the internal temperature.
• Water may drip off the evaporator during use depending on the ambient room temperature,
thermostat setting, other food items in the fridge and /or usage. This can be removed with the aid
of a soft cloth
Using your Fridge Efficiently
• Take note of foods best before / use by instructions and follow the maximum storage guidelines
on the packaging.
• Keep foods covered to help retain moisture and to help prevent odour / flavour transferences.
Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic food wrap and containers with lids are ideal.
• Avoid opening the door for prolonged periods of time or unnecessarily.
• Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in the fridge.
Hot food will raise the temperature in the fridge and cause the compressor to work more.
