Setting

the

temperature

The

temperature

inside

the

refrigerator

and

freezer

is

regulated

by

a

single

thermostat

with

6

temperature

positions

and

one

«OFF»

(O)

position.

Position

1

=

minimum

cold

Position

6

=

maximum

cold

Turn

the

thermostat

dial

to

the

required

position;

the

intermediate

position

is

usually

the

most

suitable.

The

thermostat

setting

can

vary

as

the

temperature

inside

the

refrigerator

compartment

depends

on

the

following

factors:

—

room

temperature

—

how

often

the

door

is

opened

—

how

much

food

is

stored

—

position

of

the

appliance

Important

If

the

refrigerator

is

not

defrosting

correctly,

it

is

possible

that

because

a

very

low

temperature

has

been

selected

and

the

motor

is

working

continuously,

which

prevents

the

defrost

cycle

from

operating.

To

ensure

correct

defrosting,

a

lower

number

should

be

selected

on

the

thermostat

and

you

should

notice

that

the

motor

cuts

out

from

time

to

time,

which

is

correct.

If

you

wish

to

return

to

a

lower

temperature,

turn

the

thermostat

to

a

higher

number,

however

you

should

turn

the

setting

lower

occasionally

to

allow

automatic

defrosting.

The

freezer

compartment

The

four-star

freezer

compartment

is

suitable

for

storage

of

commereially

frozen

food

and

for

freezing

fresh

foods.

Thermostat

knob

Freezing

fresh

food

It

is

not

necessary

to

adjust

the

thermostat

setting

when

freezing

fresh

food.

In

any

24

hours

you

can

freeze

up

to

3.5

kg.

Place

food

to

be

frozen

in

the

bottom

drawer

of

the

freezer

as

this

is

the

coldest

part.

Caution

In

the

event

of

a

power

cut

the

food

in

the

freezer

will

not

be

affected

if

the

power

cut

is

short

and

if

the

freezer

is

full.

Do

not

open

the

door.

Should

the

food

begin

to

thaw,

it

must

be

consumed

quickly

and

must

not

be

re-frozen.

Thawing

Food

can

be

thawed

in

a

number

of

ways,

depending

on

the

type

of

food

and

the

size

of

the

packs.

Meat,

fish

and

fruit

should

be

thawed

in

the

refrigerator

compartment

and

small

pieces

of

meat

or

poultry

can

even

be

cooked

while

still

frozen,

but

you

must

ensure

that

it

is

thoroughly

cooked

through.

Vegetables

should

be

directly

immersed

in

boiling

water;

ready-cooked

dishes

can

be

placed

directly

in

the

oven

in

their

aluminium

wrapping.

A

microwave

oven

is

particularly

suitable

for

thawing

any

type

of

frozen

or

deep-frozen

food:

follow

the

oven

instructions,

particularly

regarding

the

placement

of

aluminium

wrapping

in

the

oven.

Making

ice

cubes

The

appliance

is

provided

with

two

plastie

ice

cube

trays.

Fill

the

trays

3/4

full

to

allow

the

ice

to

expand

and

place

them

in

one

of

the

freezer

drawers.

To

turn

out

the

ice

cubes

simply

give

the

tray

a

slight

twist

to

release

the

cubes.

HEALTH

AND

SAFETY

GUIDELINES

Because

of

consumer

demand,

preservatives

have

been

removed

from

many

pre-prepared

food.

This

together

with

the

changes

in

shopping

habits

to.a

onee-a-week

shop,

mean

that

safe

handling

and

storage

of

food«is

even

more

important

than

ever.

The

following

tips

should

help

you

to

ensure

that

the

food

in

your

home

is

in

as

perfect

condition

as

possible.

m

Keep

the

time

between

buying

chilled

food

and

placing

it

in

your

fridge

as

short

as

possible.

Tests

showed

that

the

temperature

of

1

litre

of

orange

juice

rose

to

22°C

in

an

hour

between

the

supermarket

and

home.

It

then

took

11

hours

to

get

down

to

7°C

in

the

refrigerator.

Keep

the

refrigerator

door

closed

as

much

as

possible.

Remember

that

warm

air

is

flowing

in

as

you

are

deciding

what

to

have

for

tea!

m

Do

not

push

food

together

too

much,

try

to

allow

air

circulate

around

each

item.

m

Cool

cooked

food

as

quickly

as

possible

but

do

NOT

place

in

the

refrigerator

or

freezer

until

cool.

(Leave

food

in

a

place

as

cool

as

possible

in

order

that

it

ean

then

be

placed

in

the

refrigerator

or

freezer

as

soon

as

possible).

m

Do

NOT

mix

raw

and

cooked

meat,

they

must

be

in

separate

containers.

Take

care

not

to

let

the

meat

juices

drip

onto

other

food.

If

the

meat

does

drip,

remove

everything

and

clean

thoroughly.

m

Do

not

store

food

uncovered.

W

The

best

way

to

defrost

food

is

to

put

it

in

the

refrigerator

to

thaw

slowly.

m

Remove

suspect

food

from

your

refrigerator

and

clean

the

interior

with

a

solution

of

bicarbonate

of

soda

in

warm

water

(5ml

to

0.5

litre

of

water).

m

Never

allow

spillages

to

dry

and

harden.

m

Ensure

that

food

placed

in

the

freezer

is

dated

and

labelled

and

used

in

date

order

to

ensure

that

food

is

consumed

at

its

best.

m

It

is

important

that

food

is

used

before

its

“best

before"

date.

B

Store

eggs

in

the

egg

rack

provided

in

the

refrigerator

door.

Discard

any

broken

or

chipped

eggs.

m

Regularly

check

the

refrigerator

door

seal

to

ensure

that

it

is

clean

and

free

from

bits

and

pieces.

10

=

Always

wash

your

hands

with

soapy

water

and

dry

them

with

a

clean

towel

before

handling

food.

W

Keep

work

surfaces

clean

and

avoid

cross

contamination

by

not

using

the

same

work

surface

or

knife,

without

washing

them

thoroughly

in

between.

W

Use

kitchen

roll

wherever

possible

for

cleaning

up

food.

If

you

use

a

dishcloth,

be

sure

to

boil

it

frequently.

m

The

fresh

foods

to

be

frozen

must

be

fresh

and

of

the

best

quality.

E

The

size

of

each

pack

should

be

small

enough

to

ensure

that

it

is

used

in

one

go.

Small

packs

freeze

more

quickly

and

uniformly

and

give

better

results.

m

Frozen

food,

once

thawed,

must

not

be

refrozen.

Lean

food

keeps

better

and

longer

than

fatty

food,

salt

reduces

the

storage

time.

a

Wrap

the

food

in

polythene

or

aluminium

freezing

bags

or

foil

so

that

they

adhere

to

the

food

and

provide

an

airtight

seal.

m

Packaging

which

is

swollen

or

has

traces

of

refrozen

water

droplets

on

the

pack

could

indicate

that

the

product

has

not

been

kept

at

a

suitable

temperature

and

that

it

may

have

lost

its

original

quality.

Partially

thawed

food

must

not

be

refrozen,

it

must

be

consumed

within

24

hours.

Never

exceed

the

storage

times

indicated.

m

Never

place

hot

food,

bottles

or

cans

of

fizzy

drink

in

the

freezer

as

they

may

explode.

Containers

with

a

lid

must

not

be

filled

to

the

brim.

m

Do

not

open

the

door

or

place

extra

fresh

food

in

the

freezer

next

to

food

which

is

already

frozen

as

this

could

cause

the

temperature

of

the

frozen

food

to

rise

and

its

quality

and

storage

life

to

reduce.
