[. . . ] Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a cable available from your local Service Force Centre. Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. Parts which heat up should not be exposed. [. . . ] Set the thermostat controls for the fridge and freezer compartments. To ensure safe food storage, allow the appliance to operate with the doors closed for at least 3 hours, before loading with food. Refrigerator Compartment This compartment is designed to store drinks and fresh food. The inner temperature is normally uniform and is kept cool by cold circulating air. Try to avoid putting food products flush against the air vents at the back of the fridge as this could cause the foods to freeze. Chill Compartment Freezer Compartment The freezer will store frozen food at -18ºC or colder allowing for long-term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food. The temperature is kept typically at 1-2 degrees lower than the average temperature in the fridge. Use the compartment for foods that are marked typically for storage at 0-5°C for longer preservation. Adjusting the fridge temperature to cooler or warmer affects the chiller temperature in the same way. Avoid stacking large amounts of warm food on top of already cold food, as this will raise the temperature of the food previously stored in the chiller. Do not use the chiller, as a zone for rapid cooling at it is not designed for this. 5 Food Storage Energy Saving Advice Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the cabinet are not obstructed. Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up. Large Pieces of Meat: Can be re-frozen providing there are ice crystals remaining within them. Small Joints: Should be cooked and then re-frozen as cooked dishes. Chicken: Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish. Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
