Do not drape the Freezer with any covering.
Wipe the inside of the Fridge/ Freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate
of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash
the baskets and shelves in warm soapy water and dry completely before
replacing in the Fridge/ Freezer. The external parts of the Freezer can be

tips for keeping food perfect on the fridge
2. Temperature Control
The thermostat control knob situated in the control panel regulates the
head screwdriver).
The range of the temperature control is from position “ MIN ”(warmest) to “
MAX ”(coldest). For normal working temperature it is recommended to
adjust the thermostat control to the position from “ MIN “ to “ MAX “, after a
appliance from the mains supply. To do this you must remove the mains
plug from the wall outlet.
:
- Room temperature
- How often the door is opened
- How much food is stored
- Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have
to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.
NOTE: Do not place food over the air vents; be careful to

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 times 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 rating. This is usually the period stated as
“Best, Before”, found on the front of the packaging.
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. 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 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. 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 C), freezing your food
quicker and helping to keep the goodness in. However you should do this
sparingly to conserve energy.
preparations 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.
·
·
polythene bags, plastic containers, aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as
citrus fruits).
· 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.
·
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.

recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your
food packaging.

defrosting
CAUTION:
• NEVER USE SHARP TOOLS TO CHIP ICE AWAY.
After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the Fridge/Freezer
compartment. As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away
using a plastic scraper. NEVER use a metal or sharp instrument. Complete
defrosting will however become necessary approximately once per year, or
-
Freezer. This should be carried out if the frost build-up cannot be scraped
away, or if it begins to interfere with the food storage. Chose a time when
the stock of frozen food is low and proceed as follow:
and leave the doors open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into
another Fridge/Freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible wrap the food,
rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.
2. Scrape away as much frost build-up as possible using the plastic scraper.
To accelerate the thawing process place bowls of hot water inside the
Fridge/Freezer cabinet. As the solid frost loosens, prize it away with the
plastic scraper and remove.
3. When defrosting is completed, clean your Fridge/Freezer as described.
disposal
Old appliances still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly
method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered
and used again.
The refrigerant used in your appliance and insulation materials requires spe-
cial disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the
appliance are damaged prior to disposal. Up to date information concerning
options for disposing of your old appliance and packaging from the new
