Electrical Requirements
Installation Instructions

7
6. Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight
as this will cause your appliance to work harder.
7. Don’t install this appliance in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets.
8. Allow a gap of 3.5” between the back grille and the wall.
9. Allow a gap of 2 cm either side of the unit.

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
Food Storage

8
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)
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.
Defrosting

9
This appliance defrosts automatically.
WARNINGS!
The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air.
Never insert any object through the guard.
Do not allow children to play with the freezer fan.

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.
Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard.
ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER
The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested 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. Do not store
explosive substances.
8. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers.

10

11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at too low a
temperature.
12. Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge
inner liner where the cold wall is located.
13. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, drawers are all removable.
14. 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.

material before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the
appliance surface.
Control Panel
Air Volume Control
