Power failure – food safety
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous
z
to eat. Follow the recommendations below if you discover food in your freezer
has thawed:
Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter
z
period than recommended.
Thawed but refrigerator cold – refreezing generally not recommended. Fruits and
z
some cooked food can be refrozen but use as soon as possible. Meat, fish, poultry –
use immediately or cook then refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp
and soggy.
Thawed and warmer than 5°C – discard all food.
z
Storing food and drinks
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in
z
this appliance.
Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator as they may explode.
z
Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during freezing, which may
z
cause the container to explode.
Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.
z
Do not consume food if it is too cold. Food removed from the freezer compartment
z
may be cold enough to cause damage when brought into contact with bare skin, eg
frozen ice cubes.
Water filter
The water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the replacement indicator icon
z
illuminates. This will happen every 6 months.
If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge. Failure
z
to replace the disposable filter at recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter
performance and failure of the filter, causing property damage from water leakage
or flooding.
In cases of excessively reduced filter life – we recommend that you consult a local
z
plumber or your water supplier for advice on suitable filtration requirements for the
water supplied to your home.
Filter replacement is the consumer's responsibility and will not be covered by the
z
warranty except in the case of faulty parts or materials within the filter cartridge.
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
z
DO NOT allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the
z
installation of the water filter
If using the automatic icemaker after an extended period of no use, or if the ice has
z
developed an unpleasant taste of odour, dispose of ice in the storage container.
If the problem persists, replace the water filter cartridge and refer to the flushing
instructions detailed in the guide provided with your filter or your installation guide for
your appliance.
If the water tank has not been used for an extended period of time, or has developed
z
an unpleasant taste or odour, flush the water system. If the problem persists, replace
the water filter cartridge and refer to the flushing instructions detailed in the guide
provided with your filter or your installation guide for your appliance.
