CHAPTER -1: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using your Fridge Freezer

• Before setting up your fridge freezer, check for any visible damage. Do not install or use your fridge freezer if it is damaged

• When using your fridge freezer for the rst time, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This will allow efcient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.

• You may notice a light odour when using your fridge freezer for the rst time. This is perfectly normal and will fade away as the fridge starts to cool. NO FROST technology Differs from many other standard fridge freezers. Other appliances may experience ice in the freezer compartment due to the opening of the doors and humidity caused by the food. In such appliances defrosting is required. They have to be turned off periodically, the food inside moved and the ice removed. Your "no frost" fridge freezer prevents such problems by evenly distributing in the fridge and freezer compartments through the use of a fan. This cools your food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity and freezing. Blue arrows: Blow cold air Red arrows: Returning hot airEN -6-

CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

The Fridge Compartment:

• Take care when storing tropical fruit such as pineapples as they can quickly deteriorate in lower temperatures.

• Divide and separate food into smaller pieces before storage.

• Cover or wrap food to prevent odours. We recommend that you store meat loosely covered as this allows air to circulate around the meat causing the surface to dry slightly, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria.

• Do not store food close so that it blocks the crisper air adjustment button. The table below is a quick guide, showing you the most efcient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment. Food Storage Duration Location Fruits and Vegetables 1 week Loose in Vegetable Holder Fish and Meat 2-3 Days Wrapped on Glass Shelf Fresh Cheese 3-4 Days Top Door Shelf Butter and Margarine 1 Week Top Door Shelf Bottles, Yogurt and Milk Refer to Packaging Top Door Shelf Eggs 1 month In Egg Holder The Freezer Compartment: You should use the freezer compartments for storing food for long periods and making ice. Aim to freeze fresh food as quickly as possible so that it keeps its taste and appearance. We recommend that you place food you would like to freeze in the upper tray of the freezer compartment for 24 hours before placing it next to other frozen foods. It is important that you do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity of your Fridge Freezer, this will help to ensure that your food freezes as quickly as possible. The storage durations of frozen food can be changed by a variety of factors, such as; the frequency of the doors opening and closing, thermostat settings, food types and the period of time that elapsed from when the food was acquired to the time it entered the freezer. It is important that you follow the packaging on frozen foods and do not exceed the storage duration. The table below contains some recommendations on freezing.
