Tips for using this appliance
• Before storing cooked foods in the refrig-
erator, allow them to cool to room tem-
perature.
• 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 nec-
essary- this will keep the temperature as
cold as possible inside.
• Ices and water ices should not be con-
sumed 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 oth-
er foods. Should not be in direct contact
with already frozen food.
• You may hear gurgling noises or a hum-
ming sound while the appliance is in use
and this is perfectly nor mal 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.
• Effervescent (fizzy) drinks should not be
stored in the freezer or low temperature
compartments.
• Do not exceed the storage times recom-
mended by the food manufacturer and
always check expiry dates.
• Do not wash shelf retention in hot water.
The drainage channel
The drainage channel collects water on the
back wall of the refrigerator and ensures that
it is drained away into a drip tray at the rear
of the appliance.
