  Note:

• Food is not allowed to touch directly all surfaces inside the appliance. It has to be wrapped separately in aluminum sheet or in cellophane sheet or in airtight plastic boxes.

Storing food in the refrigerator compartment
The fridge freezer compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods. Fresh food care for best results:

• Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
• Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer.
• Vegetables and fruit need not be wrapped if they are stored in the vegetable container of the fridge compartment.
• Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
• Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge compartment.

Dairy foods and eggs

• Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended ‘use by /best before/best by/ date stamped on them.
• Store them in the fridge compartment and use within the recommended time.
• Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored in a sealed container.
• Eggs should be stored in the fridge compartment.

Red meat

• Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil.
• Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates.
• This will prevent any juice lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked product.

Purchasing frozen food

• Packaging must not be damaged.
• Use by the ‘use by /best before/best by/’ date.
• If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

Storing frozen food

• Store at -18°C or colder. Avoid opening the freezer compartment door unnecessarily.

Freezing and storing food in the freezer compartment

• To store deep-frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze food.

Note:
Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly.

Poultry

• Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water, dried and placed on a plate.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
• Poultry pieces should also be stored this way.
• Whole poultry should never be stuffed until just before cooking, otherwise food poisoning may result.

Precooked foods and l eftovers

• These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out.
• Keep for only 1-2 days.
• Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.

Vegetable container

• The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Take care not to store the following at temperatures of less than 7°C for long periods: Citrus fruit, melons, pineapple, papaya, curettes, passion fruit, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes.
• Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening of the flesh, browning and/or accelerated decaying.
• Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas and mangoes.

Freezing fres h food

• Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
• To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing.
• Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.

Note
Keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

The following foods are suitable for freezing:
Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.

Never forget

• When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by /best before/best by/’ date, you must freeze them before this date expires.
• Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be re-frozen.
• Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.

DEFROSTING

• When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by /best before /best by/’ date, you must freeze them before this date expires.
• Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be re-frozen. Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.

Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully automatically

• While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost from at the back of the refrigerator compartment. This is normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost.

• The rear panel defrosts automatically.

• The condensation runs into the condensation channel and is conveyed to the refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
  Note:

• Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

• The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically, otherwise the frozen food would start thawing.
• A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.

WARNING: Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant tubes.

1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the o position and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer compartment.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer compartment.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy

• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy.
• Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat(Direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc) Don’t set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Don’t store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free room.
• Please refer to Installing your new appliance chapter.
• The “STRUCTURE ILLUSTRATION” shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.
• Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for freezing

• When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and complete frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.

Hints for refrigerator

• Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
• Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: They should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in the special drawer provided.
• Butter and cheese: Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic film wrap.
• Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be stored in the door racks.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

  When the refrigerator is working, the compressor will “hum” slightly. Vibration and noise will also occur if the refrigerator is not placed stably, which can be adjusted by rotating the adjustable mounts beneath.

• Starting-up time is long.
  In summer, due to the high ambient temperature, the compressor starts more times, so a long starting-up time is normal.

The following symptoms are not breakdowns

• The noise of the cooling liquid which circulates in pipes can be heard, it is normal.
• The humidity on the surface outside of the device during the wet seasons is not a problem of the device; you just need to wipe it with a dry soft cloth.
• The compressor and the condenser can warm more during the periods of strong heat.
• The frame of the door is a bit hot; it means that the condenser works to evacuate the humidity of air.
