INSTALLATION Cleaning Before Use Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and salad bin. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.
Operation Switching On Your Unit 1. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The internal temperature of your unit is controlled by a thermostat. There are eight settings, of which position 7 is the coldest and position 0 turns the unit off.
Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit • Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf. • Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments.
Defrosting Frozen Food 1. Take the frozen food out from the freezer compartment and uncover the frozen food. Let it defrost at room temperature. Don’t forget that defrosting in a warm area encourages the growth of bacteria and low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria. 2.
Cleaning Defrosting Frost might build up in the freezer compartment after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included). Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
Maintenance Changing the Internal Light 1. Before carrying out the bulb replacement always adjust the thermostat control dial to Position 0, then disconnect the mains supply. 2. Use a flat bladed screwdriver and gently prise off the light bulb cover. 3.
