6www.howdens.com
– Keep raw and cooked food well apart
and do not let raw foods drip onto cooked
and other foodstuffs.
– Never place hot food into the refrigerator.
Allow to cool to room temperature rst.
– Allow frozen food to defrost inside the
refrigerator.
– Good food stock rotation reduces waste.
Place new products behind older versions.
• The medium temperature setting ensures
good preservation of fresh food. Higher
temperature inside the appliance may lead
to shorter shelf life of food and wastage.
• Cover the food with packaging to preserve
its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for liquids and
food to avoid odours lling in the whole
compartment.
• To avoid cross-contamination between
cooked and raw foods, always wrap or

shorter storage life of foodstuffs and possible
increase in harmful bacteria.
• Store foodstuffs in the appropriate parts of
the refrigerator to maximise freshness and
longevity of food.
Energy efciency
• Most efcient use of energy is ensured in the
default conguration with the shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door racks does
not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door too frequently or leave
open longer than necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
temperature control is set to too low with the
refrigerator fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing extra ice formation
on the evaporator. Set the temperature
control slightly warmer to allow automatic
defrosting and to save energy.
WARNING
•Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.

means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended

•Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer
of around 7mm (1/4”) has formed. To
start defrosting procedure switch off the
appliance at the socket outlet and pull out
the mains plug.
•Any frozen food should be wrapped in
several layers of newspaper and stored in
a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
•Containers full of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer box to
speed up the defrosting process. Use
towels to collect the defrost water.
•Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects
such as knives, forks to remove the frost.
•Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters
and other similar electrical appliances for
defrosting.
•When defrosting has nished, sponge out
any defrosted water which collects at
the bottom of the freezer box and dry the
interior thoroughly.
Defrosting fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically.
The defrost water runs to the collection
channel at the back of the fridge, see image.
During defrosting water droplets form at the
back of the fridge where the concealed
evaporator is located. Some droplets may
remain on the liner and refreeze when
defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or
sharp edged objects such as knives, forks etc.
to remove the droplets which have frozen.
If at any time the defrosted water does not
drain from the collection channel, check to
see if the drain channel has an obstruction.
The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the
special plastic plunger, provided, down the
drain tube, see image. If there is an ice build
up, select a warmer temperature setting for a
few hours until the ice melts.
2 - Using the fridge (continued)
•Insert the plug in to the wall socket and
switch on the electricity supply.
•Load food into the freezer after 2-4 hrs in
order to ensure the freezer temperature is
sufciently cold.
