■ This product is household refrigerators and shall be only suitable for the
storage of foods. According to national standards, household refrigerators
shall not be used for other purposes, such as storage of blood, drugs or
biological products.
■ Do not place items such as bottled or sealed container of fluid such as
bottled beers and beverages in the freezer to prevent bursts and other losses.
■ Before placing any food in your unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to
make sure it is working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct
temperature. Your unit should not be overfilled.
4.8. INTERIOR ACCESSORIES
Several glass or plastic storage shelves are included with your appliance –
different models have different combinations.
You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves into the
lowest set of guides, above the fruit and vegetable containers, and keep it in
this position. To do this, pull the storage shelf forward until it can be
moved upwards or downwards and removed.
To insert the shelf at a different height, do the same in reverse order.
To make the most of the volume of the fresh food storage compartment and
frozen-food storage compartment, the user can remove one or more shelves,
drawers, out of the appliance, according to your daily use.
USE
5.1. SWITCHING ON YOUR UNIT
■ Turn the thermostat knob to regulate the temperature inside the
refrigerator.
Setting “Min”: Less cool temperature
Setting “Mid”: Normal operation (suitable for most situations)
Setting “Max”: Coolest temperature
Setting “Off”: When the thermostat control knob is set to “Off”, the
refrigerator will not be running.
■ For the first time you install your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob at
“Mid”. Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food.
It is the best to wait 24 hours before adding food.
■ During high ambient temperatures (e.g., on hot summer days), it may be
necessary to set the thermostat to the coolest setting (position “Max”). This
may cause the compressor running continuously in order to maintain a low
temperature in the cabinet.
5.2. NOISE INSIDE THE UNIT
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are
perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the
coolin system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC
free gases.
This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. Hearing
a noise indicates the compressor motor is working, as it pumps the refrigerant
around the system.
5.3. TIPS FOR FOR FOOD STORAGE
■ Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw
meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container
which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the
container on the lowest shelf.
■Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit.
Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
■ To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, pack or cover the food
separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
■Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will
help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
■ To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times
you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to
put food in or take food out.
5.4. STORING FROZEN FOOD
■All frozen food you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as
possible to avoid them from defrosting and spoiling.
■All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the
manufacturer should always be followed.
■When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set the
thermostat knob to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before
introducing food to be stored, and then re-adjust it to the normal position.
5.5. ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
■Install the fridge or freezer in a cool place out of direct sunlight and away
from cookers, heaters, dishwashers or any hot air emitting items.
■ Do not set the freezer temperatures lower than necessary. Set the internal
temperature within the correct range e.g. adjust the thermostat at middle
position -18°C in the freezer respectively.
■Let pre-cooked foods cool down before placing them in the fridge or freezer
is will prevent the internal temperature of the fridge from rising.
■Keep your freezer full, but not over crowded, Try to leave about 20% free
space for air circulation.
■ To prevent cold air escaping, limit the frequency of opening door. When
retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your freezer before opening
the door. Only open the door to put food in o keep it out.
■ Make sure the door seal is clean and in good condition. It should hold a
piece of paper tightly in place when shut.
■Defrost regularly or when ice is more than 5mm thick. Thick ice covering the
inner sides significantly increases energy use.
■ The combination of the drawers, baskets and shelves shown in the device
description is optimal for efficient energy savings. Changing the combination
proposition could alter the efficiency.
