Using Your Appliance
Tips for using this appliance
• Before storing cooked foods in the refrigerator, allow
them to cool to room temperature.
• 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 necessary - this
will keep the temperature as cold as possible inside.
• When storing frozen food in the freezer, make sure
that you follow the food manufacturers guidelines.
• Ices and water ices should not be consumed straight
from the freezer - this can cause ice burns to the
tongue and hands.
• Never touch the nside 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 other foods. Food which is to be frozen
should not be in direct contact with already frozen food.
• You may hear gurgling noises or a humming 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.
• This appliance is designed to operate in an ambient
temperature between 16 and 38
°
C.
• Effervescent (fizzy) drinks should not be stored in the
freezer or low temperature compartments.
• Do not exceed the storage times recommended by the
food manufacturer andd always check expiry dates.
• Smaller portions of fresh food freeze quicker than
large portions. Divide large portions into smaller ones.
This helps to preserve the nutrients and quality of the foo d
.
• Always allow warm food to cool down before freezing
it, preferably to room temperature.
• Before you store large amounts of food in the freezer,
adjust the thermostat to the maximum (coldest) set-
ting while the appliance freezes the food. After 24
hours, re-set the thermostat to the previous setting.
• Only thaw the amount of food you need, once food
has been thawed cook it immediately.
• Do not wash shelf retention in hot water.
