3.3. Storing Food In the Fridge Compartment

11
3.4. Storing & Freezing Food in the Freezer
This appliance has a four star freezer that is suitable for the long-term storage of frozen
food items. It can also be used for freezing and storing fresh food items.
You should always follow the storage guidelines printed on each food producers
packaging, however the following information is provided as a general guide for the
maximum storage life of frozen items:
Fresh Meat and Poultry – up to 12 months
Cooked Meats – up to 2 months
Fresh Fish – up to 6 months
Fruit and Vegetables – up to 12 months
Bread and Cakes – up to 6 months
3.5. Operating the Twist Ice-Maker
3.6. Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to the
cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance. When the
compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound or pulsating noise. The
thermostat controls the operation of the compressor, and you may hear a slight click as
it cycles in and out.
Open the ice-maker lid and fill
the unit with fresh cold water.
Take care not to spill water into
the freezer door or the interior
of the freezer compartment.
N.B. You must only use this unit
to freeze water!
When the water is frozen
(minimum 3 hours) turn the
small control knob on the r/hand
side of the unit in a clockwise
direction. The ice will then fall
into the container, ready for
use. Slide the drawer out to
extract the ice.

3.7. Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker,
dishwasher or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air
vents are clear
Try to avoid keeping the doors open for a long time, warm air will enter the
cabinet and may cause a build-up of ice as well as affecting the energy
consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing
properly
Ensure that the door seals are clean and there are no tears or splits.
Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such as
cooked meats), in the coldest part of the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is
the warmest part of your fridge and should be used for vegetables, salads and
fruits etc. (see Description of Appliance on Page 2)
Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the
fridge cold gets blocked and pockets of warm air form.
Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer – let it cool down first.
3.8. In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, keep the doors closed. When the power has been restored
the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set
operating temperature. Check the condition of your stored food items and liquids.

Section 4. Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the
appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
4.1. Internal Cleaning
Clean the interior and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5
litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach
or alcohol.
4.2. External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. There
may be sharp edges on the underside of the product, so care should be taken when
cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance and the compressor at the
back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will
affect the performance of the appliance and cause increased energy consumption.
4.3. Defrosting
Your new appliance is ‘Frost Free’ and will, under normal circumstances defrost
automatically. However, should ice build up in the freezer exceed 3-5mm, empty the
contents and switch off the appliance, leave the door open and allow the ice to melt.
Place the frozen foods items in a cool-bag or wrap them in thick newspaper. Do not
use sharp objects to scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior, close the door
and turn on the power to the appliance. When the power has been restored the
appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating
temperature.
4.4. When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents, disconnect
from the electricity supply and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar until you wish
to use the appliance again.
4.5. Changing the Interior Lights
Switch off the power supply to the appliance
Remove the plastic light cover
Remove the LED from the light unit.
Replace the LED with a suitable replacement
Refit the cover and switch the appliance back on.
