Using Your Appliance
Tips for using this appliance
l
Before storing cooked foods in the refrigerator, allow
them to cool to room temperature.
l
To maintain adequate air circulation, do not over fill
the appliance. If there is too much food inside, the
compressor does not work as effectively.
l
Do not open the door any more than necessary - this
will keep the temperature as cold as possible inside.
l
If you are storing any frozen food in the freezer
compartment, make sure that you follow the food
manufacturers guidelines.
l
Ices and water ices should not be consumed straight
from the freezer - this can cause ice burns to the
tongue and hands.
l
Never touch the inside of the appliance, or any frozen
items with wet hands. This can cause injury to your
hands if they stick to cold surfaces.
l
Wrap or cover foods well before storing. Always make
sure that any packaging is air tight and suitable for
use inside a fridge.
l
Cooked meats and raw meats should be stored on
separate shelves, and raw meat should not be allowed
to drip onto other foods.
Making ice cubes
l
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with water and place into
the fridge.
l
Set the thermostat to ‘7’.
l
Once the water has frozen, return to thermostat to the
previous setting.
l
To remove ice cubes, twist the try or place under
running water for a few seconds to loosen.
l
Do not use sharp, pointed or metal implements to
remove the ice cube tray if it becomes frozen to the
fridge.
