·Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible.
·Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.
·Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from the Freezer.
·Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, aluminum foil for
acidic foods (such as citrus fruits).
Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first).
·Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive air out
of the packaging.
·Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.
·You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, such as stew) in square
blocks.
This is known as “performing” Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it like
this, then remove it from the container and seal the bag.
How to use the ice-making box
Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it ices up as soon as possible.
Recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food packaging.
Defrosting
After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be formed on the freezer compartment inner wall (or evaporator) surface,
which may affect the refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in thickness. In such case, you need to gently scrape the frost
off using an ice scraper rather than the metal or sharp hardware. Frosts need to be cleared off every 3 months or so, and
if the normal use of drawers and normal access of foods are affected by frosting, make sure to remove the frosts in a
timely manner. Follow the following steps to remove frosts:
1. Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains power supply, open the refrigerator door, and gently remove the frosts
from the inner wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the thawing process, you are suggested to place a bowl of hot water
inside the refrigerator/freezer, and when the solid ice frosts become loose, use an ice scraper to scrape them off and
then take them out.
2. After defrosting, clean the refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the power supply.
Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with
warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are
completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer. Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge; however it
will normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.
The drain hole will have a “cleaning spike” inserted into it. This ensures that small pieces off food can not enter the drain.
After you have cleaned the inside of your Fridge and removed any food residues from around the whole, use the “cleaning
spike” to make sure that there are no blockages.
Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge/Freezer exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft
brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/Freezer
Moving the Fridge/Freezer
Location
Do not place your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg. Cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-
buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling the Fridge/Freezer
Make sure the Fridge/Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the Fridge/Freezer is not level, the doors
and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may cause your Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly.
Do not turn on the Fridge/Freezer for 4 hours
After the Fridge/Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4 hours. This allows time for the coolant to settle.
Installation
Don’t cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
NOTE: When the environment is high temperature and high humidity, if opening the refrigerator door too often,
there will be some frost at the back of fridge part (inside of refrigerator) and the water in water tray(located on top
of compressor) will overflow, This is not breakdowns. Please power off and clear the frost and water in time.
Vacation 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.
