TIPS FOR KEEPING FOOD PERFECT IN THE FRIDGE

Take extra care with meat and sh

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 lm 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 avors 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

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 mes 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 rang. This is usually the period stated as "Best, Before", found on the front of the packaging.

Check the Fridge/Freeze 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 life as possible. Freeze food in small quanes, it freezes faster, takes less me to thaw and enables you to eat it in the quantity you need.

Freezing fresh foods

First, emate 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.

Preparaons 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 Im, polythene bags, plasc containers, aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits).

Do not use thin cling lm or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly rst).

• 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 ecently 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.

Defrosng

This appliance is designed as automac defrosng, no need to defrost by hand.

Recommended storage periods

For recommended food storage me, refer to the informaon given on your food packaging.

Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freeze

You should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak soluon 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/Freezeer

Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge/Freeze exterior.

The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freeze and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a so brush aachment. Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/Freeze

MOVING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER

Locaon

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/Freeze is level. Use the rotang leveling feet at the front. If the Fridge/Freeze is not level, the doors and magnec seal alignments will be aected and may cause your Fridge/Freeze to work incorrectly.

Do not turn on the Fridge/Freezer for 4 hours

Aer the Fridge/Freezer is in place it needs to be le for 4 hours. This allows me for the coolant to sele.

Installaon

Don't cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.

If you're not at home for a long me

• Turn o the refrigerator rst and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
• Remove all the food.
• Clean the refrigerator.
• Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formaon of condensaon, mold, or odors.
• Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child's play.
• Short vacaons: Leave the refrigerator operang during vacaons of less than three weeks.
• Long vacaons: 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.

HOW TO SAVE ENERGY

• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from heang 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 me and close the door as soon as possible.
• The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy consumption, and the formula of excess ice and/or condensaoon inside.
• Constantly circulang cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate the ow 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 circulaon, making the refrigerator less ecient, which could cause food spoilage.

• During prolonged absences (example: vacaons), it is advisable to disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it. The door should be le slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not aect 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.
