DEFROSTING
While in operation the -star compartment
becomes progressively covered with frost.
This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus
prevents the cold from reaching the food should be
removed whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds
1/4".
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
1. Push the conveyor completely in.
2. Place a tray on the upper shelf of the refrigerator
under the drain hole of the conveyor.
3. Remove any food from inside the -star
compartment, wrap it in several sheets of
newspaper and store in a cool dry place.
4. Turn the thermostat dial to the «OFF» (O) position.
To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot water
inside the compartment (with a piece of cardboard
underneath the bowl as protection).
5. When defrosting is completed, dry thoroughly and
remove the water collected in the tray.
Turn the thermostat knob on a medium position to
restart the appliance.
After letting the appliance run for at least half an hour,
replace the previously removed food into the
-
star compartment.
When defrosting it is not necessary to remove the
foods from the inner door and the refrigerator
compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs
during defrosting may shorten their storage life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it
beyond repair.
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This
together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and
storage of food is even more important than ever.
HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
The following tips should help you to ensure that
the food in your home is in as perfect condition
as possible.
■
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests
showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange
juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to
get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
■
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible.
■ Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
■ Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave
food in a cool place in order that it can then be
placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).
■
Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be
in separate containers. Take care not to let the
meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat does
drip, remove everything and clean thoroughly.
■
Do not store food uncovered.
■
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean (Refer to “Maintenance and cleaning”).
■
Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
■
Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped
eggs.
■
Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
■ Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry
them with a clean towel before handling food.
■
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work surface
or knife, without washing them thoroughly in
between.
