USAGE
When using your Fridge Freezer for the first time, or after transportation , keep it in an
upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient
operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
We recommend that you wipe all shelving and trays with a cloth soaked in warm water
mixed with a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate before use. After cleaning, rinse with warm
water and dry.
You may notice a slight odour when using your Fridge Freezer for the first time. This is
perfectly normal and will fade away once the fridge starts to cool.
Before using your Fridge Freezer, make sure that it has been connected to an appropriate
mains power supply and is switched on at the socket.
When using your Fridge Freezer for the first time, set the thermostat to a value of 4 for the
first 24 hours.
Your Fridge Freezer has a 5 minute built in delay function, designed to prevent damage
to the compressor. When power is applied to your Fridge Freezer, it will begin to operate
normally after 5 minutes.

FOOD STORAGE TIPS
FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
To help you use your Fridge Freezer efficiently, please take the time to read the following tips and
guidance.
Storage Areas:
The circulation of air within your Fridge Freezer causes areas of different temperatures. It is
recommended that you make use of these areas when storing your food.
The coldest area of the fridge compartment is at the bottom, above the vegetable and meat
cases. We recommend that you use this area to store food that will perish easily, such as fish,
ready meals, baked goods and dairy products.
The warmest area of you fridge is the top shelf of the door. We recommend that you store butter
and cheeses in this shelf.
Storing food:
It is best to store you food covered or packaged, to prevent it from drying out, and to prevent
smells affecting other food in your Fridge. Store fruit and vegetables loose in the vegetable
containers. Avoid storing potatoes, onions and garlic in your refrigerator.
Other tips you might find helpful are:
Wash your food before storage.
Allow warm or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps to reduce power
consumption.
Keep as much space as possible between your items of food. This allows the cold air to
circulate freely around them.
