Before first use

You must allow the fridge to settle for at least four hours prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of
bicarbonate of soda and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior.
The fridge may have an odor to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.
Please note:
The appliance will start on temperature setting 3 and work continuously until it comes down to the
correct temperature.
If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to
prevent unnecessary damage to the compressor.
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance.
This fridge cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity cold. It is normal for frost to
build up on this surface; it then dissipates and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it
evaporates harmlessly. The presence of frosting at the back is not a malfunction of the fridge.

Fridge use

•Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
•Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room
temperature before being put into the refrigerator.
•Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible
condensation problems which will be difficult to remove.
•Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.
•Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of moisture,
keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant odors.
•Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the front of the shelf to
prevent deterioration caused by the door being open for prolonged periods.
•Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air
to circulate.
•Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save
energy.
•Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other produce. This will help to prevent
juices from raw meat contaminating other foodstuffs.

Storage

The fridge is for short term food storage. Although low temperatures can be maintained, extended
periods of food storage is not recommended.
As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary between the different
sections. As such, foods should be stored in different sections according to type. Sections 6 and 7
are the coldest parts of the fridge.
