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 "Use By", "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 re-

frozen.

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 temperature setting 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)"

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.

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 to the core as quickly as possible.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 

4.75

 kg (

10.45

 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.

You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.

Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

MAKING ICE CUBES

Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a 

spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks.

Note: 

If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks, they will slowly 

reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.
