Noise From Your Upright Fridge/Freezer

• You may notice that your upright fridge makes some unusual noises from time to time. 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 cooling system. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit and is common with all modern fridges.

Door Clearance
Please allow enough space to open the door and drawers.

Refrigerator Mode
This mode helps keep for food for short-term storage and is suitable for storing a variety of fruits, vegetables, beverages and other food items ideally between 3 to 5 days.
Freezer Mode
This low temperature helps keep food for long-term storage and is suitable for storing frozen food and making ice.

Storage tips:

• Wait until hot food has cooled to room temperature before placing into the refrigerator.
• For food safety, we recommend sealing up any food before placing into the refrigerator.
• For quicker freezing and easy access, divide your meat and large items into smaller pieces before placing into the freezer compartment.
• The glass shelves can be repositioned up or down to suit your storage requirements.

Note:

• Storage of too many items during operation after the initial connection of your appliance to power may adversely affect the freezing effect of the refrigerator.
• Do not block the air outlet or the freezing effect of the refrigerator will also be adversely affected.

Usage Tage Tips

• Do not store food uncovered in the upright fridge/freezer. Always use good quality, refrigeration-proof packaging to maintain food quality. Remove any air from packages of solid food and seal the bags tightly before refrigerating.
• Keep portions small to ensure they are refrigerated (and subsequently defrosted) rapidly.
• Make sure that fresh, unfrozen food packages do not touch food that is already frozen, thus avoiding a temperature rise in the frozen food.
• When freezing food, do not push food together too much, leave some space for air to circulate around each item. Do not place packages directly against the back wall.
• When buying frozen food, only buy quantities that you can store straight away; use an insulated container for your shopping and when you get home, place the food in the chilling compartment immediately.
• When storing pre-packed, commercially frozen food, follow the food manufacturer’s instructions for storing the food in a home fridge or freezer. Do not exceed any storage times listed on the packaging.
• Once you have opened a packet of frozen food, re-wrap it airtight to prevent surface evaporation which causes drying or freezer burn.
• Do not place carbonated liquids such as bottles of fizzy drink in the freezer as the container could explode under pressure and damage the chiller.
• Do not refreeze food once it has been defrosted.
• Frozen food which has thawed accidentally should either be used immediately or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted, it may be cooked and then refrozen.
• CAUTION! Do not remove items from the chilling compartment if your hands are damp or wet as this could cause skin abrasions.

Energy Saving Tips

• The appliance should be placed in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts. Please avoid placement in direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance with unfrozen food as this may cause it to freeze slowly and risk food spoilage.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost building up inside in the unit.
• Please do not wrap items in aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towel. This materials interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organise and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, ensuring the unit is opened as few times as possible.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning

WARNING
Before cleaning the appliance, make sure it is switched off and disconnected from the power supply. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or injury.

• Wash the inside surfaces and the interior accessories with a damp, warm cloth moistened in a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 litre of water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Clean the outside of the unit with a damp, well wrung out cloth, keeping the area of the controls dry. Keep the lid gasket (seal) clean.
• Never use boiling water to accelerate defrosting as it may damage the plastic components.
• After everything is dry, place appliance back into service.
• Allow approximately 1–2 hours for the cabinet to cool down again (depending on the length of time the appliance was disconnected from the power).
