GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FRIDGE FREEzER
Location
When selecting a position for your fridge freezer, you should make sure the floor is flat and firm,
and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 32°C.
Avoid locating your fridge freezer near a heat source, eg. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct
sunlight. Never place the fridge freezer in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets or furniture.
Your fridge freezer must be installed so that there is 10mm of free space at the sides, 30mm above and
50mm behind. You should also leave enough room so that the door can be opened 160º. The fridge
freezer door can either open to the right or the left, depending on the location which suits you. See
page 8 if you want to reverse the door swing. Do not drape the fridge freezer with any covering.
Levelling the fridge freezer
The fridge freezer has an adjustable foot at the front and two castors at the
back to assist with moving. Once the fridge freezer is put in its final location,
make sure it is level; use the levelling foot at the front. If the fridge freezer is
not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected.
Cleaning before use
Remove all securing tape. Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate
of soda, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before
replacing the shelves and baskets. You can clean the fridge freezer externally with wax polish.
If you require more information refer to CLEANING on page 9.
Before plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the fridge freezer.
If not, see the section called Electrical Connections on page 11.
Before switching on!
DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FRIDGE FREEZER. The coolant fluid needs
time to settle.
Before using your fridge freezer
Before placing any food in your fridge freezer, turn the fridge freezer on and wait for 24 hours to make
sure it is working properly and to allow the fridge freezer to reach the correct temperature. Always
follow the storage instructions on the food packaging.
Before use
Please read these instructions carefully before using your new Frigidaire fridge freezer.
The fridge freezer is for indoor and domestic use only.

Switching on your fridge freezer
1. Before your fridge freezer is plugged in, open the fridge door and
adjust the thermostat control to the highest setting.
2. Once the fridge freezer has cooled down, adjust the thermostat
control to a suitable setting.
Adjusting the temperature
To change the internal temperature
of the fridge freezer, use the control
dial located inside the fridge. The
recommended setting is between 3and
4for normal use. The fridge freezer may
not operate at the correct temperature if
it is in a particularly hot or cold room or
if you open the doors very often.
Temperature control slider
The temperature control slider is used
to adjust the air flow in the fridge.
With the slider in the UP position, the
volume of cold air is reduced and in the
DOWN position, the volume of cold air is
increased. If you require the food to cool
faster, position the slider in the DOWN
position. For normal operating use, keep
the slider in the middle position.
Is the fridge freezer cold enough?
If you are concerned that your fridge freezer is not being kept cold
enough, and wish to check the temperature, you will need a special fridge
thermometer available from most supermarkets and hardware shops.
Place the thermometer on the middle shelf of the fridge cabinet or the
middle basket of the freezer, where it can be read easily. Leave overnight,
the temperature in the fridge should be between 2˚C and 5˚C and -18˚C
or lower in the freezer. See ‘Adjusting the temperature’.
Where to store your food in the fridge
Cool area
This is where to store foods which will
keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk,
eggs, yogurt, fruit juices, hard cheeses, eg.
cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of salad
dressings, sauces and jams. Fats, eg. butter,
margarine, low-fat spreads, cooking fats
and lard.
Coldest area: 0°C to 5°C
This is where foods which must be cold
to keep them safe should be kept:
• Rawanduncookedfoods.Theseshould
always be wrapped.
• Pre-cookedchilledfoods,eg.readymeals,meatpies,softcheeses.
• Pre-cookedmeatseg.ham.
• Preparedsalads(includingpre-washedchopped,pre-packedmixed
green salads, rice, potato salad etc).
• Desserts,eg.fromagefrais,home-preparedfoodandleftoversor
cream cakes.

WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRODUCE KEPT IN THE SALAD BIN
IS WRAPPED.
NOTE: ALWAYS WRAP AND STORE RAW MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ON
THE LOWEST SHELF AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRIDGE. THIS WILL STOP
THEM DRIPPING ONTO, OR TOUCHING OTHER FOODS.
DO NOT STORE INFLAMMABLE GASES OR LIQUIDS IN THE FRIDGE.
Noises inside the fridge freezer
If you have not owned a refrigerator or freezer before, you may notice
that it makes some rather unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly
normal, but you should be aware of them!
Gurgling, whooshing
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the
cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of
CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of
your fridge freezer.
Humming, purring or pulsating
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around
the system.
Shopping for chilled foods
Don’t buy in your lunch hour!
Unless you have a fridge at work to keep the food cold in the afternoon.
Leaving food in your car or at room temperature for a prolonged period
of time could raise food temperature to the level at which harmful
bacteria grow.

USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEzER
Keep chilled foods together
When you are going around the supermarket and when you are travelling
home if you keep all the chilled foods together they will help to keep each
other cold.
Use a cool bag
Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and
hardware shops. These keep food cold for longer, but are only for getting
chilled foods home, not storing it.
Unwrap as soon as you get home
Always unpack and place chilled foods in the fridge freezer before storing
dry food-stuffs.
Shopping for frozen foods
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’, on the front of the packaging.
Choose packs carefully
Take a quick look at the frozen food package and make sure it 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
When you are going around the supermarket and when you are travelling
home, if you keep all the frozen foods together they will help to keep
each other cold.
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.
Tips for keeping food perfect in the
fridge freezer
Leave space around food
This will allow cold air to circulate around the fridge freezer. It will also
mean the fridge freezer doesn't have to use so much power.
Wrap up food!
To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, food should be separately
packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need to be wrapped.
Let pre-cooked food cool properly
Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put it in the fridge
freezer. This will stop the internal temperature of the fridge freezer
from rising.
Shut the door
To prevent cold air escaping, limit the number of times you open the
door. When returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your
fridge freezer while the door is closed.

USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEzER
Freezing fresh foods
The golden rules
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. Turn the
thermostat dial to the maximum setting which makes your freezer colder
(approx -28°C), it will therefore freeze quicker and keep in the goodness.
However you should use it sparingly to conserve energy. Remember to
reset the thermostat dial to the normal setting when you have finished
freezing fresh foods.
TO FREEZE
A loaf of bread not required.
A small casserole
Up to 2lb/900gm 2 hrs. before placing food in freezer
and 4 hrs. after placing food in freezer.
Over 6lb/2.7kg 6 hrs. before placing food in freezer and
12 hrs. after placing food in freezer.
Maximum of 22lb/10kg 24 hrs. before placing food in freezer
and 24 hrs. after placing food in freezer.
What not to freeze
Bananas, pomegranates, pears, carbonated liquids as they can explode
or anything in a glass container, as these may crack.
NOTE: Do not store inflammable gases or liquids in the freezer.
To thaw
1 Cover food loosely.
2 Thaw at room temperature. Don’t forget that thawing in a warm area
encourages the growth of bacteria.
3 Always make sure there are no ice crystals in the food before cooking,
particularly with meat. These crystals indicate that the food is not
fully thawed. They result in lower temperatures when cooking.
Lower cooking temperatures may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
4Cook food as soon as possible after thawing.
5 Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during thawing.
Oven thawing
Many microwaves and ovens have thaw settings. To avoid bacterial build
up, only use these if you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.
Safety tips
• Neverre-freezeanythingthathasthawedoutunlessyoucookit
again, to kill off harmful bacteria.
• Neverre-freezethawedshellfish.
Useful tip
Re-seal packs properly after removing items. This prevents drying or
‘freezer burn’ and a build up of frost on any remaining food.
Label everything
• Manyfoodslookthesamewhenfrozen,socarefullabellingwillhelp
avoid forgetting what an item is. Storage times being exceeded could
cause food poisoning.
• Youcanbuyspecialfreezertapeforuseinlowtemperatures
This tape is available in white, so you can use it to write the items
contents on. You can buy special freezer labels and pens. Labels come
in different colours which can help you use your freezer effectively.
For instance you could colour code meat red and vegetables green.
Using a different colour label for each quarter of the year will help
you rotate your frozen food more efficiently.
• Writethecontentsanddate.Ifyouarereallyorganisedaddthe
weight and notes on cooking such as ‘thaw first’, or ‘cook from
frozen’ and keep a separate ‘log-book’ of what is in each drawer.
This will save opening the door and searching around unnecessarily.

Tips
If the fridge freezer won’t be used for a long period of time switch it off,
unplug and clean it. Leave the door open to prevent the formation
of mildew and smell.
Power cut
If the internal temperature of the freezer compartment is -18°C or less
when the power returns, your food is safe. The food in your fridge freezer
will remain frozen for approx 16 hours with the door closed.
