Fridge use
• Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
• Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should
be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put
into the refrigerator.
• Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the
refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible
condensation problems which will be dicult to remove.
• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped
away before putting into the fridge.
• Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This
will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and
avoid unpleasant odours.
• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon
should be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent
deterioration caused by the door being open for
prolonged periods.
• Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sucient space
between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
• Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help
to keep the temperature low and save energy.
Freezer use
• The freezer compartments are designed to store only
frozen food.
• Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to
cool fully before putting them into the freezer.
7
• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage
of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods
should not be stored for more than three months after the
purchase date.
• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg).
This reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of
the food after thawing.
• Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the
wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.
• Label the food before freezing with information including
type of food and dates of storage and expiry.
• Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. Only defrost
as much food as is required to prevent wastage.
• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the
freezer compartments as they could explode.
• The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen
within a 24 hour period is 10 kg.
• Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.
• To freeze fresh food more quickly, switch on the super
freeze function a few hours prior to placing the food in the
freezer.
• Do not use the super freeze function more than once
in 72 hours. Use over the recommended time will place
unnecessary strain on the refrigeration system.

vent sliders towards you to open them and towards the back of the
fridge to close them.
