4. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight
containers.
5. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the shelf.
Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and
stored in the crispers.
6. Bottles can be kept in the door section.
7. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and
place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into
contact with cooked food, to avoid contamination. For
safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.
8. For maximum efficiency, the removable shelves
should not be covered with paper or other materials
to allow free circulation of cool air.
9. Do not keep vegetable oil on door shelves. Keep
the food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow hot food
and beverages to cool before refrigerating. Leftover
canned food should not be stored in the can.
10. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products
such as flavoured water ices should not be consumed
too cold.
11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept
at temperatures near 0°C. Therefore wrap
pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and
similar produce in polythene bags.
12. High-proof alcohol must be stored upright in
tightly closed containers. Never store products that
contain an inflammable propellant gas (e.g. cream
dispensers, spray cans, etc.) or explosive
substances. These are an explosion hazard.
13. To take out the baskets from the freezer
compartment please proceed as in item 9.
Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the setting
knob (Item 5) located on the ceiling of fridge
compartment. Settings may be made from MIN,
1 ... MAX, MAX being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time,
the setting knob should be adjusted so that after 24
hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher
than +5°C (+41°F).
We recommend you to set the knob half way
between the MIN and MAX setting and monitor to
obtain the desired temperature i.e. towards MAX you
will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa.
Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer
(such as the salad crisper and the top part of the
cabinet) which is quite normal.
We recommend that you check the temperature with
an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage
compartments are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very quickly
since the thermometer temperature will rise very
rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door is opened cold
air escapes and the internal temperature rises.
Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is
closed immediately after food is put in or removed.
Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the
rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended under
"Cleaning and care."
4. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket
and the electricity is switched on. When the door is
open the interior light will come on.
And note that:
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up.
The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also make some (noise), whether the
compressor is running or not. This is quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite
normal due to the manufacturing process used; it is
not a defect.
7. We recommend setting the knob midway and
monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance
maintains desired storage temperatures (See section
Temperature Control and Adjustment).
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is
switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We recommend
checking the temperature with an accurate
thermometer (see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment).
Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of
commercially frozen foods and also can be used to
freeze and store fresh food.
If there is a power failure, do not open the door.
Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts
for less than 13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the
food should be checked and either eaten immediately
or cooked and then re-frozen.
Freezing fresh food
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the
best results. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any
one time. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly
as possible. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of
your appliance in 24 h. Placing warm food into the
freezer compartment causes the refrigeration
machine to operate continously until the food is frozen
solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling
of the refrigeration compartment. When freezing fresh
food, to reach the best freezing capacity, put the
setting knob to maximum position 24 h before placing
it. After freezing the knob can be set to the initial
position. Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb)
can be frozen without adjusting the temperature
control knob. Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
