MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

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.

• Turn o the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or x them into the fridge to avoid any shock.

STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE

The fridge 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. FREEZING AND STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER Use the freezer

• To store deep-frozen food.

• To freeze food. I Ensure that the freezer door has been closed properly. Avoid opening the freezer drawers unnecessarily. 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. Freezing fresh food Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, avour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching. I Keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

• The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, sh 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 sh, potato dishes, soués 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.www.domo-elektro.be 63

Packing frozen food To prevent food from losing its avour or drying out, place food in airtight packaging.

1. Place food in packaging.

4. Label packaging with contents and dates of freezing.

Suitable packaging: plastic lm, tubular lm made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers. Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer These times vary depending on the type of food. The food that you freeze can be preserved from 1 to 12 months (minimum at -18°C). Food Storage time Bacon, casseroles, milk 1 month Bread, ice cream, sausages, pies, prepared shellsh, oily sh 2 months Non-oily sh, shellsh, pizza, scones and muns 3 months Ham, cakes, biscuits, beef and lamb chops, poultry pieces 4 months Butter, vegetables (blanched), eggs whole and yolks, cooked craysh, minced meat (raw), pork (raw) 6 months Fruit (dry or in syrup), egg whites, beef (raw), whole chicken, lamb (raw), fruit cakes 12 months Never forget: I When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by/best before/best by/’ date, you must freeze them before the expiry of this date. I Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be refrozen. I Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly. VACATION For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer absences take the following measures:

• Disconnect from electrical outlet.

• Clean the appliance thoroughly.

• Leave the doors open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mould or odours. POWER FAILURE

• Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not aect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is

• During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by putting dry ice on top of packages.64 www.domo-elektro.be

• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator or freezer.

• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.

• Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped in cellophane or polyethylene foil, or kept in glass containers.

• Never place spoiled foods in the refrigerator or freezer.

• Keep all accessories, such as shelves, door racks, and drawers, in the appliance to minimise energy consumption.

• Please read the storage instructions on the food packaging. Always check the storage date.

• Do not place carbonated drinks in the freezer. The bottle/can is pressurised and may explode.

• Be careful when consuming ice creams that come from the freezer. These can cause frostbite.

• An empty fridge consumes more energy. After all, when the door is opened, warm air enters the space and needs to be cooled. More air enters when there are fewer products, meaning that more energy needs to be consumed to cool that air. So ll your fridge properly or choose a model sized for your needs. I Not for outer camping use (e.g. in a tent). I For indoor use only. I The appliance can not be used in public transportation.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS An error message is shown on the display.

• E1: The fridge temperature sensor is not working.

• E2: The temperature sensor of the freezer is not working.

• E5: The freezer defrosting sensor is not working.

• E6: Communication error.

• E7: The ambient temperature sensor is broken.

• If you see any of these error messages, please contact our after-sales service. The refrigerator does not work. • Check connection of power cord to power source.

• Use proper voltage. The refrigerator cools too frequently.

• The temperature setting is too cool.

• Close door securely.

• Be sure that food is cool before inserting.

• Do not keep door open for too long and minimize door openings.
