Don't- Store bananas in your fridge compartment.
Don't- Store melon in your fridge. It can be chilled for short periods as long as          

          

it is wrapped to avoid it 

flavouring

 other food.

Don't- Store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your appliance.
          It has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
Don't- Consume food which has been stored for an excessive time in the fridge.

 

Don't- Store cooked and fresh food together in the same container. They should
          be packaged and stored sep

a

rately.

Don't- Let defrosting food or food juices drip onto food.
Don't- Leave the door open for long periods as this will make the appliance  
          more costly to run and cause excessive ice formation.
Don't- Use pointed sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the ice.

 

Don't- Put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down 

f

i

rst.

Don't- Put liquid-

f

i

lled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into

          the freezer as they may burst.
Don't- Exceed the maximum freezing loads (

4

.25

 kg in any 24 hours) when

          freezing fresh food.
Don't- Give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer. The low
          temperature may cause 'freezer burns' on lips.
Don't- Freeze 

f

i

zzy drinks.

Don't- Try to keep frozen food which has thawed, it should be eaten within
          24 hours or cooked and refrozen.
Don't- Remove items from the freezer with wet hands.
Don't- Close the freezer door before placing the compartment cover in its place.

 

Don’t- 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.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

1-

Ensure your appliance is installed in a well ventilated area. If the ambient

temperature is low (but in no case lower than 

10

 degrees C), then the energy

saving will be more. In this case, check temperatures of fridge and freezer

compartments with an accurate thermometer and lower the 

temperature 

setting

if necessary.

2-

Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing them in your

appliance is kept at minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend you

 

use

a cool bag or a special carrier bag to carry frozen food.

3-

Do not leave the door (s) of your appliance open longer than necessary and

ensure they are closed properly after each opening.

4-

Defrost your appliance regularly (see "

DEFROSTING

")

.

5-

Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment, so that frozen food acts as

 

an

ice pack to assist cooling in the fridge.

PROBLEM SOLVING

If the appliance does not operate, check whether:

The plug is inserted properly in the socket and that the power supply is on. (To

check the power supply to the socket, plug in another appliance)

.

The fuse has blown/circuit breaker has tripped/main distribution switch has

been turned off.

The temperature control has been set correctly.

• New plug is wired correctly if you have changed the fitted moulded plug.

If the appliance is still not operating after the above checks, please refer to the

 

section on “

How to Obtain Service

”.

Please ensure that above checks have been made as a charge will be made if

 

no fault is found.
