¥ Keep the time between buying chilled food and

placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests

showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange

juice rose to 22¡C in an hour between the

supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to

get down to 7¡C in the refrigerator.

¥ Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as

possible.

¥ Do not push food together too much, try to allow

air to circulate around each item.

¥ Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do

NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave

food in a place as cool as possible in order that it

can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as

possible).

¥ Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be

in separate containers. Take care not to let the

meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat does

drip, remove everything and clean thoroughly.

¥ Do not store food uncovered.

¥ The best way to defrost food is to put it in the

refrigerator to thaw slowly.

¥ Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and

clean (refer to ÒMaintenance and Cleaning).

¥ Never allow spillages to dry and harden.

¥ Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated

and labelled and used in date order to ensure

that food is consumed at its best.

¥ It is important that food is used before its Òbest

beforeÓ date.

¥ Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the

refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped

eggs.

¥ Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to

ensure that it is clean and free from debris.

¥ Always wash your hands with soapy water and

dry them with a clean towel before handling food.

¥ Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross

contamination by not using the same work

surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly

in between.

¥ The fresh foods to be frozen must be fresh and of

the best quality.

¥ The size of each pack should be small enough to

ensure that it is used in one go . Small packs

freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better

results.

¥ Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen.

Lean food keep better and longer than fatty food,

salt reduces the storage time.

¥ Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing

bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and

provide an airtight seal .

¥ Packaging which is swollen or has traces of

refrozen water droplets on the pack could

indicate that the product has not been kept at a

suitable temperature and that it may have lost its

original quality. Partially thawed food must not be

refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.

Never exceed the storage times indicated.

¥ Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy

drink in the freezer as they may explode.

Containers with a lid must not be filled to the

brim.

¥ Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in

the freezer next to food which is already frozen

as this could cause the temperature of the frozen

food to rise and its quality and storage life to

reduce .

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that

shelves can be positioned as desired.

Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This

together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and

storage of food is even more important than ever.

The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as

possible.

INSTALLATION

Positioning

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient

temperatures between 10¡C (50¡F) and 32¡C (90¡F).

It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of

direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature

e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold

room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may

fall below 10¡C (50¡F). If these temperatures are

exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance

may not operate correctly.

You should also ensure that air can circulate freely

around the back and the top of the cabinet. There

must also be at least 100 mm (4Ó) distance between

the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen

furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be

positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).

There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of

the appliance. Do not obstruct the space

underneath. The back of the cabinet may be placed

close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT

install in places with restricted ventilation.

Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the

adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet

using your fingers.

Warning

IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE

THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR,

YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE

UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN

BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.

Depending upon the position which you choose for

your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in

which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions

on ÒDoor reversal directionsÓ paragraph.

Rear spacers

The plastic bag containing all relevant

documentation also contains two spacers to be fitted

into special holes in the back of the appliance.

Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure

that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in the

diagram. Then turn them through 45¡ (arrow (A)

vertical) until they lock into place.

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from

the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be

easily accessible after installation.
