If the appliance is turned o for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting. o 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 y Turn appliance to avoid any shock. y 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 fridge 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 fridge compartment.

EN-4 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 fridge 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 egg tray of the fridge 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. Precooked foods and leftovers These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out. Keep for only 1 – 2 days. Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot. Vegetable and fresh fruit The vegetable containers are the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. Take care not to store the following at temperatures ofl ess than 7°C for long periods: EN-5 Citrus fruit, melons, aubergines, pineapple, papaya, courgettes, passion fruit, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes. Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening of the flesh, browning and/or accelerated decaying Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas, mangoes. Humidity control slider : Higher Humidity : Low Humidity The vegetable containers have a sliding humidity control setting that ranges from “Fruits ” to “Vegetables”. Set this control to the appropriate position depending on your food. Air Damper Control FREEZER CONTROL The air damper is located in the top of the fridge compartment. The air damper opens and closes to let the proper amount of cold air from freezer compartment flow into the fridge compartment. If the damper does not open properly, it won’t let enough cold air into the fridge compartment. We recommend to completely open the air damper by sliding the tab to the right. FREEZING AND STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT Using the freezer compartment To store deep-frozen food. To make ice cubes.F To freeze food. Note: Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. Purchasing frozen food Packaging must not be damaged. Use by the ‘use by /best before/best by/’ date. If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment. Storing frozen food Store at -18°C or colder. Avoid opening the freezer compartment door unnecessarily. Freezing fresh food Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching. Note: Keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. EN-6 The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts. The following foods are not suitable for freezing: Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, and mayonnaise.

THE COLDEST PART OF THE REFRIGERATOR

The symbol indicates the location of the coldest part of your refrigerator. This area is in between the vegetable compartment at the bottom and the symbol at the top, or the shelf at the same height. In order to maintain the temperature in this area, make sure not to change the position of this shelf. In pulsed air refrigerators (equipped with a fan) or No Frost models, the coldest area symbol is not shown because the temperature is uniform throughout the interior.

INSTALLING THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

To help you adjust your refrigerator correctly, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that you can use to control the average temperature in the coldest area. WARNING: This indicator is only intended for use in your refrigerator. Do not use it in another refrigerator (as the coldest area will not be the same) or for any other purpose. TEMPERATURE INDICATOR: THE COLDEST PART OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE COLDEST AREA ‡8VLQJWKHWHPSHUDWXre indicator, you should regularly check that the temperature is correct in the coldest part of your refrigerator. The temperature inside your refrigerator depends on a number of factors, such as the outside room temperature, how full your refrigerator is, and how often you open the door. Take these factors into consideration when adjusting your appliance. When the indicator shows "OK", it means your thermostat is set properly and the temperature inside your refrigerator is correct. If the indicator is white it means the temperature is too high, so you should increase the thermostat and wait for 12 hours before checking the indicator again. After loading the refrigerator or opening the door, the indicator may turn white for a few seconds.
