• Properly storing foods in the fridge or freezer with the correct
temperature settings can help prevent foods from spoiling easily and
thus help prevent food waste. For example, for peeled or cut veggies,
storing them in the fridge (fresh food area) for 2 to 3 days instead of
leaving then out at room temperature can retain their freshness and
keep them from going bad. Meats and seafoods can be stored in the
freezer (-18°C) for months without going bad.
The table below contains general guidelines on the storage temperature
in each compartment type (wherever applicable).

location
When selecting a position for your unit 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 43°C. Avoid
locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight
as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also
cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor
installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering. This refrigerating appliance is not intended
to be used as a built-in appliance.

levelling the unit
To do this adjust the two levelling feet at the front of the unit.
If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments
will not be covered properly.
free space requirements
When installing the unit, ensure that 25 mm of
free space is left at both sides, 50 mm at the
rear of the unit and 25 mm at the top of the unit.
The door can be opened to the right or the left,
depending on which best suits the location.
Please ensure there is more than twice the width
and depth distance space of the unit to fully open
the door to a maximum angle.
Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.
cleaning before use
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water
using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the drawers. Clean the exterior of
the unit with a damp cloth.
If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.
before using your unit
Before placing any food in your unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working

with food.
• If you are concerned that your unit is not
being kept cold enough and wish to check the
temperature, you will need a special fridge/
freezer thermometer. These are available from
most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place
the thermometer in either the fridge or freezer

noises inside the unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but
you should be aware of them!
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 unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
tips for keeping food in the unit
• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all parts
of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the
internal temperature of the unit.
To save energy, avoid opening the doors frequently or keeping them opened for a long time.
When there is no button operation or door opening for about 30 seconds, the unit will
automatically enter child lock state.
KMD70X19_IB_RC_200623_grace.indd 7KMD70X19_IB_RC_200623_grace.indd 7 23/6/2020 5:48 PM23/6/2020 5:48 PM

• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the doors.
We recommend that you only open the doors when you need to put food in or take food out.
temperature control for bin
• The Bin can function either as chiller bin (to keep seafood and meat fresh
for a short period of storage), fresh bin (to store fresh instant food) or
crisper (salad) bin.
• To function as a crisper (salad) bin, slide the temperature control to High.
• To function as a fresh bin, slide the temperature control to Mid, the temperature in the Bin will be
cold but not frozen.
• To function as a chiller bin, slide the temperature control to Low, the temperature in the Bin will
be under 0°C.
preparations for freezing
• Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes
faster, takes less time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better.
• Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible.
• Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it.
• Don’t freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave it straight from the freezer.
• Use special freezer bags, freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, and aluminium foil
(heavy duty grade only). If in doubt, double wrap your food. Don’t use aluminium foil for acidic
foods, e.g. citrus fruits. Don’t use thin cling film, glass, or used food containers without cleaning.
• 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 expansion.
• You can use the space in the freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids
with liquids, e.g. stew) in square blocks. This is known as “Preforming”. Pour the
liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it, and
then remove it from the container and seal the bag.
• Label your frozen foods as they will look the same when in frozen state. Use
special freezer tapes, labels and pens with different colours. This allows you to
easily organise and to effectively use the freezer. Write the contents and date;
otherwise the frozen food might exceed the storage time and this could cause food poisoning.
Please refer to your food packaging for the recommended storage time.
• You may also add the weight and cooking notes, e.g. “defrost first”, “cook from frozen” and keep
a separate log of what is in each drawer. This will save opening the door and searching around
unnecessarily.

defrosting frozen food
• Take the frozen food out from the freezer compartment and uncover the frozen food. Let it
defrost at room temperature. Don’t forget that defrosting in a warm area encourages the growth
of bacteria and low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
• Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting.
• Always make sure there are no ice-crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat.
These crystals indicate that the food has not fully defrosted.
• Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.
• Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if
you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.
Never re-freeze anything that has been defrosted unless you cook it again, to kill off harmful
bacteria. Never re-freeze defrosted shellfish. Re-seal packs properly after removing items.
This prevents drying or freezer-burn and a build up of frost on any remaining food.
cleaning the interior and the exterior of the unit
• Remove all foods from the unit. For foods from the freezer, place them well-covered in other cool
storage containers.
• Switch off and unplug the unit.
• Remove all the shelves, drawers and other accessories. Wash them then wipe dry.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm
water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves, drawers and
salad bin.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make
sure that the doors are closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seals or inside
the unit.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
• Do not use any abrasive or acidic cleaners. Do not use steam cleaners.
