Storage Shelves
The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are
adjustable to allow for the storage of large items.
To re-arrange the shelves, open the door to 90°.
Storage Times
The storage chart at the end of the instruction book
gives information on storage times in the refrigerator
compartment. The storage times quoted are intended
as a guide only.
Do not cover the shelves with paper or trays etc. as
this will affect the air circulation within the
refrigerator compartment.
Do not put hot foods in the refrigerator, allow hot
foods to reach room temperature naturally before
placing in the refrigerator.
Cover foods, or place in closed dishes before
placing them in the refrigerator, this prevents any
transference of food smells.
The Freezer
Freezing fresh food
When freezing fresh food always place the food in the
freezing compartment which is the top drawer in the
freezer section.
1. Leave the thermostat control knob on a medium
setting and switch on the Fast Freeze facility.
2. Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer.
3. After 24 hours switch off the Fast Freeze facility
and place the frozen food into the storage
compartments.
Frozen Food Storage
When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing
frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than is necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer can cause a low
temperature skin burn.
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and
the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should
the food begin to thaw it must be consumed
quickly and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and
Tips)
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature,
depending on the time available. Small food items
may even be cooked from frozen, in this case
cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be eaten as soon as
possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is
uncooked and has not been completely defrosted
it can be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be
refrozen.

To Make Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray
¾
full with cold water, place
in the freezing compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it
under running water for a few seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to
the freezer compartment by using pointed
or sharp edged objects.
