Storage Shelves

The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow for the storage of large items.

To re-arrange the shelves, open the door to 90°.

Storage Times

The storage chart at the end of the instruction book gives information on storage times in the refrigerator compartment. The storage times quoted are intended as a guide only.

Do not cover the shelves with paper or trays etc. as this will affect the air circulation within the refrigerator compartment.

Do not put hot foods in the refrigerator, allow hot foods to reach room temperature naturally before placing in the refrigerator.

Cover foods, or place in closed dishes before placing them in the refrigerator, this prevents any transference of food smells.

The Freezer

Freezing fresh food

When freezing fresh food always place the food in the freezing compartment which is the top drawer in the freezer section.

1.Leave the thermostat control knob on a medium setting and switch on the Fast Freeze facility.

2.Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer.

3.After 24 hours switch off the Fast Freeze facility and place the frozen food into the storage compartments.

Frozen Food Storage

When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn.

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and 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. (See Hints and Tips)

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature, depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
