freezer compartment.
Please Note:
If the appliance is switched off you must wait at least 5 minutes
before restarting the appliance or re-inserting the plug into the wall
outlet. This is to allow the protection device in the compressor to
reset.
If the compressor fails to start correctly remove the plug and wait for
5 minutes before you try again then the compressor should restart
normally.
The storage temperature may be affected by:
– The room temperature
– How often the door is opened
– How much food is stored
– Position of the appliance
When you set the correct temperature, all these factors mentioned
above shall be taken into account.
SHOPPING FOR FROZEN FOOD
The appliance is rated as a 4 star freezer and can freeze fresh food and
store pre-frozen food. When you are buying frozen food, look at the
Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each
item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most
hygienic conditions as freezing alone does not improve the food.
Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer.
Prior to freezing the food, food should always be covered tightly with
foil, plastic film, placed in plastic bags or stored in airtight containers.
This will prevent food from dehydrating and to prevent any strong
odors of some foods transferring to milder ones.
To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight containers and
place on the lowest shelf to avoid cross contamination.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For
safety, only store raw meat for two or three days.
NOTE:
The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food and how
often the door is opened affect the temperature in the refrigerator. If
required, change the thermostat temperature settings.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
All frozen food you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon
as possible to avoid them from defrosting and spoiling.
All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food
by the manufacturer should always be followed.
When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set the
thermostat knob to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before
introducing food to be stored, and then re-adjust it to the normal
position.
The technical data mentioned in the ‘Specifications’ are obtained in
the case that the freezing drawers are removed.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
Install the fridge or freezer in a cool place out of direct sunlight and
away from cookers, heaters, dishwashers or any hot air emitting
items.
Do not set the freezer temperatures lower than necessary. Set
