How to Use the Refrigerator Compartment:
 Cooked/fresh foods may be stored in your refrigerator. Hot foods must
first be allowed to reach room temperature before storage
 Eggs and bottle’s should be stored on the shelves provided in the door
 Meat and fish should be covered to prevent loss of moisture and odours
wrap such foods in aluminium foil or polythene or store in an airtight
container
 It is advisable to store cooked food on top shelves and fresh food on the
lower shelves to prevent cross contamination
How to Use the Freezer Compartment:
 Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with
the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage
compartment
 To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer
and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be observed:
- Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
- Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.
- Do not exceed "Use By" or "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
 If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not
be affected if the failure lasts for less than 14 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked
and then refrozen.
Freezing Fresh Food:
 Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen right through as quickly as possible
 Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 4 kg
(9 lb)
Food Storage

10
 Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment
The appliance is “Frost Free” so defrosts automatically. The moisture collects on
the condenser and is automatically defrosted and dissipated by the condenser
from time to time.
WARNINGS!
The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air.
Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to ensure that you obtain the best
possible performance from your appliance.
Never insert any object through the guard.
Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (e.g. dispensers,
spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air
circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.
Defrosting

11
The following are guidelines to obtain the best results:
1. The fridge compartment is for the short term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
2. The freezer compartment is rated and suitable for the freezing and
storage of pre frozen food. The recommendation for storage as stated on
the food packaging should be observed at all times.
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers.
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and
vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.
5. Bottles can be placed in the door section.
6. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf.
Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food to avoid
contamination. For safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.
7. Keep the food packed wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages
to cool before placing them in the fridge.
8. Do not store explosive substances.
9. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers.
10. Left over canned food should not be stored in the can.
11. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water
ices should not be consumed too cold.
12. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at too low a
temperature. It helps to wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes
and similar produce in polythene bags.
13. Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge
inner liner where the cold wall is located.
14. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, drawers are all removable.
15. Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to
defrost food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly.
