INSTALLATION Location When selecting a position for your Refrigerator you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16℃ and 38℃. Avoid locating your Refrigerator near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges. If you are placing your Refrigerator in an out- building such as a garage or annex ensure that the Refrigerator is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on the Refrigerator cabinet. Never place the Refrigerator in a wall recessed or into fitted cabinets or fumiture when your Refrigerator is working, the grille at the back may become hot and the sides warm. It must therefore be installed so that the back of the Refrigerator has at least 9cm(31/2”) of free space and the sides have 3cm(3/4”). Do not drape the Refrigerator with any covering. Leveling the Refrigerator If the Refrigerator is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected and may cause you Refrigerator to work incorrectly. Once the Refrigerator is placed in its final location, adjust the leveling feet at the front by turning them.

TIPS FOR KEEPING FOOD

PERFECT IN THE FRIDGE

Take extra care with meat and fish Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil. Leave space around food This allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept cool. Wrap up food! To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped. Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before Eco28 placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising. Shut the door! To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.

TIPS FOR SHOPPING FOR

FROZEN FOODS Your Freezer is 4 star When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best, Before”, found on the front of the packaging. Check the Fridge/Freezer temperature Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods. It should show a temperature lower than -18℃. Choose packs carefully Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition. Purchase frozen food last Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket. Keep frozen foods together Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping, and on the journey home as this will help to keep the food cooler. Store food straight away Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep frozen food cold for longer. Thawing frozen food For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.

FREEZING FRESH FOODS, USEFUL

TIPS Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities, it freezes faster, takes less time to thaw and enables you to eat it in the quantity you need. Freezing fresh foods First, estimate the amount of food you will be freezing. If you are freezing large amounts of fresh food, remember to turn the control dial to Max. This will lower the temperature in the Freezer (approx -30℃), freezing your food quicker and helping to keep the goodness in. However you should do this sparingly to conserve energy. Preparations for freezing Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible. Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it. Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from the Freezer. Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits). Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first). Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging. Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion. You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids(or solids with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. This is known as “performing” Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it like this, then remove it from the container and seal the bag.29

Defrosting This appliance is designed as automatic defrosting, no need to defrost by hand. Recommended storage periods For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food packaging. Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer You should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer. Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge/Freezer exterior. The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment. Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/Freezer

Location Do not place your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg. Cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges. Leveling the Fridge/Freezer Make sure the Fridge/Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the Fridge/Freezer is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may cause your Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly. Do not turn on the Fridge/Freezer for 4 hours30 After the Fridge/Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4 hours. This allows time for the coolant to settle. Installation Don’t cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance. If you're not at home for a long time Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Remove all the food. Clean the refrigerator. Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors. Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play. Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks. Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the door removed.

Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher. The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not place hot food inside the refrigerator. Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible. The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy consumption, and the formation of excess ice and / or condensation inside. Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate the flow of air. Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage. During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it . The door should be left slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not affect the refrigerator when it is reconnected. During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on. However, remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you are gone. SERVICING This product should be serviced by an authorized engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact the local store where your purchase was made. When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.31
