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. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Left over canned food should not be stored in the can. 8. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water ices should not be consumed too cold. 9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0°C. Therefore wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags. 10. Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge inner liner where the cold wall is located. 11. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all removable. 12. 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. Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food. 13. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface. 7 TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (see diagram) located on the ceiling of fridge compartment. Settings may be made from 1 to 5, 5 being the coldest position. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the thermostat should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We recommend you set the thermostat half way between the 1 and 5 setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i. e. towards 5 you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal. The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting thermostat knob towards 5 position. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer. Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed. 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. 8 STARTING Final Check Before you start using the fridge/freezer check that: 1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet. 2. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE." 3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. • When the door is open the fridge interior light will come on. 4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal. 5. Set the thermostat knob half way between 1 and 5. 6. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation. 7. "Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment)" STORING FROZEN FOOD Prepacked 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 remembered: 1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. 2. Ensure that contents are labelled and dated. 3. Do not exceed "Us...
