Usage Information
Instructions of ice-making machine
­Sounds will be produced during making ice cubes and crushed ice: Water valve will produce buzzing sounds; water flowing into ice vessel will produce sounds; grinding machine’s grinding ice into small pieces or ice cubesfalling into the container will produce sounds. The sounds are normal. ­Scratching noises may be produced when taking out the ice cubes. Nothing to worry about this. ­The ice in the container may be stuck together. In such cases, please take out the ice container and separate stuck ice into pieces by means of, for instance, using plastic or wooden spoons to push hard on the ice carefully. Other possibilities are illustrated in the chapter “ice container cleaning”. If you need a lot of ice at once, please take ice directly from the ice container directly rather than constantly using the ice dispenser. This will avoid over heating the ice maker motor and will improve the life span of the unit.The chapter “ice container cleaning” explains how to remove ice container from freezer compartment. ­If the ice in the container is below a certain level e.g. if you have very recently
taken a lot of ice, then the ice maker will stop until the ice reaches the correct level again. Please wait for a while until new ice is made. To prevent ice smell or bad taste of the ice, please clean the ice container regularly. ­Ice and water can only be dispensed when the door of freezer compartment is closed.

Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents are clear. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for a long time, as warm air will enter the cabinet and may cause a build-up of ice as well as affecting the energy consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly. Ensure that the door seals are clean and there are no tears or splits. Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such as cooked meats), in the coldest part of the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is the warmest part of your fridge and should be used for vegetables, salads and fruits etc. Do not overload the appliance: the cooling air that circulates and keeps the appliance cold gets blocked, and pockets of warm air form. Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer ­let it cool down first.
Freezer Storage Advice
Store fresh food in airtight boxes or wrap in bags or foil which are suitable for freezing. Do not allow frozen food to come in to direct contact with food to be frozen. Pre-frozen food must be placed in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchasing. To prevent frost damage to fresh vegetables or fruits they must be processed appropriately before being placed into the freezer compartment. You must always follow the storage guidelines printed on all food packaging. However, below is some suggested maximum storage times at -18°C (4 star freezer rating) for a variety of foods:
Fresh meat & poultry ­up to 12 months Cooked meat ­up to 2 months Fresh fish ­up to 6 months Fruit & vegetables ­up to 12 months Bread & cakes ­up to 6 months
Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food without checking it’s condition. Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded. Fruit and Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used up. Bread and Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger. Shellfish:Should be refrigerated and used up quickly. Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up. Large Pieces of Meat: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly Small Joints: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly Chicken: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly

Smell/odour

Solution
Check that the appliance is switched on.
Check that there has not been a power cut.
Check that the plug is not faulty.
Check that the fuse has not blown.
Check that the voltage is correct for the appliance.
Are there any faults with the socket? For this purpose, try the plug of your appliance by connecting it to a socket which you are sure is working.
Check that there is not too much food in the appliance.
Check that the temperature is set to a suitable temperature. Check that the appliance is not placed in direct sunlight, or too near to a heating source. Check that the ambient temperature is within the operation limits of the appliance.
Are the doors of the appliance opened frequently? Once the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in the room enters the appliance, especially if the humidity levels in the room are very high. The more frequently the door is opened in humid conditions the more chance of the build up of moisture.
Increase the working temperature by adjusting the temperature to a higher level.
The lowest setting/temperature should only be used as a rapid cool setting and should only be set 2 hours before a large amount of food is placed in the fridge. If this is not done the temperature in the fridge compartment could fall below 0 as the compressor will run continuously.
Caused by condensation-dry the inside of the appliance.
Caused by condensation-dry the outer of the appliance carefully.
Check all the food and drink that is in the fridge is in date and correctly packaged. If it is not then it should be removed immediately or repackaged.
Check for spillages on each shelf, rack and drawer. You may need to remove the drawers to check that no spillages have settled underneath them. As spillages that have not been cleaned and have been left can cause smells and unwanted odours.
Check the drainage pipe is not clogged or the drip tray at the back of the appliance is full. The pipe can be cleared by pouring hot water through, but you must ensure the appliance is turned off, the plug is removed from the socket and a jug or bucket is in place to catch the flow of water.
