5Using your refrigerator

Temperature setting button

The interior temperature of your refrigerator changes for the following reasons;

•Seasonal temperatures,

•Frequent opening of the door and leaving the door open for long periods,

•Food put into the refrigerator without cooling down to the room temperature,

•The location of the refrigerator in the room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).

You may adjust the varying interior temperature due to such reasons by using the thermostat. If the ambient temperature is higher than 32°C, turn the thermostat button to maximum position.

Storing the frozen food

Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's

instructions for a frozen food storage compartment.

The freezing area is marked with

symbol on the door liner.

To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:

1.Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2.Do not exceed "Use By", "Best

Before" dates on the packaging.

3.Please note that drawers, baskets, flaps, trays are all removable.

Defrosting

Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.

To start defrosting procedure turn the thermostat knob to zero position

(Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.)

All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).

Remove all freezer drawers.The special defrost collection basin collects the defrost water. Therefore defrosting can be conducted without mess.

Containers full of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.

Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the frost.

Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters and other similar electrical

appliances for defrosting.

When defrosting has finished, sponge out any defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer and

dry the interior thoroughly. Turn the thermostat knob to mid point. Close the freezer door. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Don't forget to tape over the switch to avoid accidental disconnection.
