Instructions for use

Suggested arrangement of food in the appliance

Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage and hygiene:

1.The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks.

2.The freezer compartment is rated and suitable for the freezing and storage of pre-frozen food. The recommendation for storage as stated on the food packaging should be observed at all times.

3.Dairy products should be stored in the special compartment provided in the door liner.

4.Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight containers.

5.Fresh wrapped products can be kept on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.

6.Bottles can be kept in the door section.

7.To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food, to avoid contamination. For safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.

8.Do not keep vegetable oil on door shelves. Keep the food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool before refrigerating. Leftover canned food should not be stored in the can.

9.Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water ices should not be consumed too cold.

10.Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0°C. Therefore wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags.

11.High-proof alcohol must be stored upright in tightly closed containers. Never store products that contain an inflammable propellant gas (e.g. cream dispensers, spray cans, etc.) or explosive substances. These are an explosion hazard.
