MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalize
before restarting.
 Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the
appliance to avoid any shock.
 Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should
be careful during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance's cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to
the cooler elements, move your appliance from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few minutes.

STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

The refrigerator compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.
Fresh food care
For best results:
 Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
 Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will
help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer.
 Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong
odours.
 Cool hot foods down before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.
Dairy foods and eggs
 Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended 'use by /best before/best by/' date stamped on them. Store them in the
refrigerator compartment and use within the recommended time.
 Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored in a sealed container.
• Eggs can be stored in the refrigerator compartment.
Red meat
 Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil.
 Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juice lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked
product.
Poultry
 Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water, dried and placed on a plate. Cover loosely with plastic
wrap or foil.
 Poultry pieces should also be stored this way. Whole poultry should never be stuffed until just before cooking, otherwise food
poisoning may result.
Fish and seafood
 Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until required, refrigerate on a plate loosely covered with plastic
wrap, waxed paper or foil.
 If storing overnight or longer, take particular care to select very fresh fish. Whole fish should be rinsed in cold water to remove
loose scales and dirt and then patted dry with paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.
• Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1 – 2 days.
