INSTALLATION
Location
When selecting a position for your Fridge/Freezer you should make sure the oor
is at and rm, and the room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your Fridge/Freezer
near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-
buildings or sun lounges. If you are placing your Fridge/Freezer in an out-building
such as a garage or annex ensure that the Fridge/Freezer is placed above the damp
course, otherwise condensation will occur on the Fridge/Freezer cabinet. When
working, the refrigerator gives off heat to surroundings. Therefore, at least 30mm of
free space should be spared at the top side, more than 100mm on both sides, and
above 50mm at the back side of the refrigerator.
Leveling the Fridge
If the Fridge is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected and
may cause you Fridge to work incorrectly. Once the Fridge is placed in its nal
location, adjust the leveling feet at the front by turning them.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOD STORAGE
How to Use the Refrigerator Compartment
*The cook dishes can be put into refrigerator to keep fresh after their temperature
decreases to room temperature.
*Egg pockets and bottle pockets for eggs, butter, milk and bottle drinks,etc.
Placement of Food
*Proper place should be left instead of too crowded during food storage.
*Food to be stored should be wrapped with clean plastic lm or fresh keeping paper,
then distributed to several frames even to avoid contamination and the loss of water
and smell mixture.
*Cool hot food down to the room temperature before storing or consumption of
electricity will increase and would lead to frost forming inside.
When In Use
1. The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of
contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment)
when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of
temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed
2. The fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as the
location of the refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature and the frequency of
door opening, and, if appropriate, a warning that the setting of any temperature
control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors
3. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer
compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and
that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold
4. The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food
manufacturers for any kind of food
5. A rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance
or cleaning could shorten the storage life
6. It is better wrapping the frozen food in several layers of wrapping before placing
on the glass shelves.
7. Care is required for storage of frozen food in the event of an extended
non-running of the refrigerating appliance (interruption of power supply or failure
of the refrigerating system)

13
Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
• Take extra care with meat and sh
• Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect
juices and cover it with cling lm or foil.
• Leave space around food This allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge,
ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept cool.
• Wrap up food!
• To prevent transfer of avors and drying out, food should be separately 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 returning 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.
Where to store your foods in the fridge
Cool area
• This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk,
eggs, yogurt, fruit juices, hard cheeses eg. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of
salad dressings, sauces and jams. Fats, eg. Butter, margarine
Coldest area
• This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept:
• Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
• Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. Ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.
• Pre-cooked meats eg. Ham,
• Prepared salads (including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad)
• Desserts, home-prepared food and leftovers
NOTE: Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and sh on the lowest shelf at the
bottom of the fridge. This will stop them dripping onto, or touching other foods.
Do not store ammable gasses or liquids in the fridge.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Cleaning inside the Fridge
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge internally with a weak
solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a
damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy
water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the
Fridge.
Cleaning outside the Fridge
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean
the Fridge exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge and the adjacent
components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any
part of the Fridge.
Vacation Time
• Turn off the refrigerator rst and then unplug the unit from
the wall outlet.
• Remove all the food.
• Clean the refrigerator.
• Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of
condensation, mold, or odors.
• Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not
be accessible to child’s play.
• Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations
of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several
months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and
dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have
the door removed.

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

16
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of
direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not
place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as
a range, oven or dishwasher.
2. The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as
necessary; do not place hot food inside the refrigerator.
3. Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings .Remove as
many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon
as possible.
4. The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid
increased energy consumption, and the formation of excess ice
and / or condensation inside.
5. Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature
homogenous inside the refrigerator. For this reason, it is
important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate the ow of
air.
6. Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
7. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing
so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.
Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or
paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making
the refrigerator less efcient, which could cause food spoilage.
8. During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is
advisable to disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the food,
and clean it . The door should be left slightly open to avoid mold
and unpleasant odors. This will not affect the refrigerator when
it is reconnected.
9. During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can
remain on. However, remember that prolonged power outages
may occur while you are gone.

17
