Using your appliance
There is a rotary separator on the
left-hand side refrigerator
compartment door.
When closing the left-hand door, the
rotary separator folds behind the
right-hand door joining the two
doors.
The temperature of the frame is
controlled to help prevent moisture
from developing on the mullion.
The temperature of the surface may
be warm , which is normal, and will
not affect the performance of the
refrigerator.
Before closing the left-hand door,
make sure the rotary separator is
folded inward. If the rotary
separator is pulled outward it
may became damaged when
you try to close the door.
Note
The freezer compartment is suitable
for storage of foods required to be
frozen, such as meat, fish, ice cream
and other perishable items.
Caution!
Ensure that bottles are not left in the
freezer for longer than needed as
freezing may cause the bottle break.
Bottled or canned liquid are at risk of
exploding caused by volume
expansion and so should not be
stored in the freezer compartment.
3. Using your freezer compartment
For hygienic reasons the appliance
(including exterior and interior
accessories) should be cleaned
regularly (at least every two months).
Do not use sharp objects as they
are likely to scratch the surface.
Do not use Thinner, Car detergent
Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive
cleansers or organic solvent such
as Benzene for cleaning. They
may damage the surface of the
appliance and may cause fire.
Warning

connected to the mains during
cleaning. Danger of electrical
shock! Before cleaning switch the
appliance off and remove the
plug from the mains socket.
Warning
To maintain good appearance of
your appliance, you should clean it
regularly.
Wipe the digital panel and display
panel with a clean, soft cloth.

instead of spraying directly on the
surface of the appliance. This helps
ensure an even distribution of
moisture to the surface.
Clean the doors, handles and
cabinet surfaces with a mild
detergent and then wiped dry with a
soft cloth.
Exterior cleaning
You should clean the appliance
interior regularly. It will be easier to
clean when food stocks are low. You
can remove the drawers and
shelves for a more thorough clean.
Wipe the inside of the freezer with a
weak solution of bicarbonate of
soda, and then rinse with warm
water using a wrung-out sponge or
cloth. Wipe completely dry before
replacing the shelves and baskets.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and
removable parts before putting
them back into place.
Interior cleaning
Cleaning and care
Take care to keep door seals clean.
Sticky food and drinks can cause
seals to stick to the cabinet and tear

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 fresh food refrigeration

polyethylene food wraps which are
airtight.
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch the food which is already
frozen to avoid patrial defrosting.
