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
DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrosting water runs
To the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance. During
defrosting water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment 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 to remove the droplets which have frozen. If at any time the
defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure that no
food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared
manually.
In case of a temporary ice build- up in the fridge compartment, reduce the
Thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time that the fridge temperature
Is maximum +5 degrees C [41 degrees F]. Once the ice build-up disappears
And the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then you may increase
The thermostat setting, if required.
The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to obtain the
Best results:
1. Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and
vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.
2. Bottles can be placed in the door section.

to cool before placing them in the fridge. Do not store explosive
substances.
5. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers.
6. Left over canned food should not be stored in the can.
7. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water
ices should not be consumed too cold.

temperature. It helps to wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes
and similar produce in polythene bags.
9. Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge
inner liner where the cold wall is located.
10. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, drawers are all removable.
