Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish: cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw
meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food: this allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the
Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food!: to prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or
covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in
the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!: to prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door.
When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only
open the door to put food in or take it out.
If you're not at home for a long time
Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
Remove all the food.
Clean the refrigerator.
Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the door removed.

Defrosting
NOTE THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE AN AUTO DEFROST SYSTEM.
Please use a plastic ice shovel when clearing the frosting of the evaporator. Do not use metal sharp
objects.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 5 mm has formed.
Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Extract
the water conduit and put in a water container.
As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using a plastic scraper. NEVER use a
metal or sharp instrument. This should be carried out if the frost build-up cannot be scraped away,
or if it begins to interfere with the food storage. Chose a time when the stock of frozen food is low
and proceed as follow:
1. Take out the frozen food, turn the Refrigerator off at the mains supply and leave the doors
open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into another Fridge/Freezer or refrigerator. If this
is not possible wrap the food, firstly in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then in
a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.
2. Scrape away as much frost build-up as possible using the plastic scraper. To accelerate the
thawing process place bowls of hot water inside the Fridge/Freezer cabinet. As the solid frost
