Shopping for frozen food
e appliance is rated as a 4 star freezer and
can freeze fresh food and store pre-frozen food.
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.
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°C.
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. ese keep frozen food cold for longer.

ENGLISHENGLISH
GB-17GB-16
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 food
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried
out under the most hygienic conditions as
freezing alone does not improve the food.
Never put hot or even warm foodstus into the
freezer.
Prior to freezing the food, food should always
be covered tightly with foil, plastic lm, placed
in plastic bags or stored in airtight containers.
is will prevent food from dehydrating and
to prevent any strong odors of some foods
transferring to milder ones.
To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in
airtight containers and place on the lowest shelf
to avoid cross contamination.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with
cooked foods. For safety, only store raw meat for
two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the crisper.
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids
and placed in the bottle shelf in the door.
NOTE: e ambient temperature of the freshly
stored food and how often the door is opened
aect the temperature in the refrigerator. If
required, change the thermostat temperature
settings.
Storing frozen food
All frozen food you purchase should be placed
in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid them
from defrosting and spoiling.
All storage recommendations printed on the
packaging of frozen food by the manufacturer
should always be followed.
When using the freezer for the rst time or
after defrosting, set the thermostat knob to the
maximum position for at least 2 hours before
introducing food to be stored, and then readjust
it to the normal position.
e technical data mentioned in the
‘Specications’ are obtained in the case that the
freezing drawers are removed.

Energy-saving tips
Install the fridge or freezer in a cool place out of
direct sunlight and away from cookers, heaters,
dishwashers or any hot air emitting items.
Do not set the fridge and freezer temperatures
lower than necessary. Set the internal
temperature within the correct range e.g. adjust
the thermostat at middle position for 4°C in the

ENGLISHENGLISH
GB-21GB-20
fridge compartment and -18°C in the freezer
respectively.
Let pre-cooked foods cool down before placing
them in the fridge or freezer. is will prevent
the internal temperature of the fridge from
rising.
Keep your fridge full, but not over crowded, this
helps reduce «cold» air loss. Meanwhile, avoid
overloading the fridge or freezer. Try to leave
about 20% free space for air circulation.
To prevent cold air escaping, limit the frequency
of opening 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.
Make sure the door seal is clean and in good
condition. It should hold a piece of paper tightly
in place when shut.
Defrost regularly or when ice is more than
5mm thick. ick ice covering the inner sides
signicantly increases energy use.
e combination of the drawers, baskets and
shelves shown in the device description is
optimal for ecient energy savings. Changing
the combination proposition could alter the
eciency.

MAINTENANCE
Fridge defrosting
e fridge defrosting process is carried out
automatically every time the compressor stops.
e defrost water is automatically routed to the
drain port and into a tray placed on the top of
the compressor to the rear of the appliance from
which it evaporates.
Make sure the drain port on the fridge at the
rear of the appliance is kept clear.
Freezer defrosting
Frost will accumulate inside the freezer
depending upon the length of time during which
the door is left open or the amount of moisture
introduced. It is essential to ensure that no
frost or ice is allowed to form at places where
it will aect the close tting of the door seal.
is might allow air to penetrate the cabinet,
thus encouraging continuous running of the
compressor.

ENGLISHENGLISH
GB-27GB-26
in frost formation is quite soft and can be
removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not
use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices
or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process. Remove all dislodged frost from the
cabinet oor. For the removal of thin frost it is
not necessary to switch o the appliance.
For the removal of heavy ice deposits disconnect
the appliance from the mains supply and empty
the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in
thick blankets or layers of paper to keep them
cold. Defrosting will be most eective if carried
out when the freezer is empty, and it should be
carried out as quickly as possible.
An increase in temperature of frozen food
packages during defrosting will shorten the
storage life. Provided that the contents are well
wrapped and placed in a cool area, they should
keep for several hours.
Examine the contents when replacing them in
the freezer and if some of the packages have
thawed out. After defrosting is nished clean the
inside with a solution of warm water with a little
bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly.
Wash all removable parts in the same way and
reassemble.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and
leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number 7 before
introducing the food back into the freezer and
setting the thermostat to your normal setting.
Noise from your appliance
You may notice some rather unusual noises. e
noises are caused by circulation of refrigerant
in the cooling system. It has become more
pronounced since the introduction of CFC free
gases. is is not a fault and will not aect the
performance of your fridge.
Prolonged off periods
If the appliance is not in use for a long period of
time, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect from the mains supply.
2. Clean and dry the inside (see ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).
3. Leave the door open to prevent any
unpleasant smells from building up while the
appliance is not in use.
