Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish:cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food:this allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food!:to prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly:allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!:to prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.

Crisper: This is the most humid part of the Fridge. Vegetables, fruit, fresh salad items eg. Unwashed whole lettuce, whole tomatoes, radishes etc can be stored here.WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRODUCE KEPT IN THE SALAD BIN IS WRAPPED.
NOTE:Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the fridge. This will stop them dripping onto, or touching other foods. Do not store inflammable gasses or liquids in the fridge.Electrical operation after 3h on the freezer, the temperature in the cabinet above -12°C, the alarm light is lit, and buzzer sounds.
Storing Frozen FoodPrepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a freezer compartment. To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:
- Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
- Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best Before” dates on the packaging.
DO | DON’T |
Defrost food from the freezer thoroughly in a fridge or in a microwave oven following defrosting
and cooking instructions. |
Use pointed sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the ice. |
Defrost frozen meat completely before
cooking. |
Put hot food in the freezer. Let it cool down
first. |
Store commercially frozen food in accordance with the instructions given on the packets that
you buy. |
Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into the freezer
as they may burst. |
Check contents of the refrigerator at regular
intervals. |
Remove items from the freezer with wet hands. |
Clean and defrost your
refrigerator regularly. |

“Use By” dates. |
For more about storing, download the App and visit “Tips & Hints”.
- It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
- For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
- For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment (onestar -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)
ENERGY SAVING
For better energy saving we suggest:
- Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well-ventilated room.
- Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functionalizing of the compressor.
- Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
- Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.
- In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.
- Open or keep the doors of the applianceope n as little as possible.
- Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.
- Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance.
TAKE CARE
DefrostingThis appliance has automatic defrosting system, no need to defrost by hand.
Cleaning and CareAfter defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer. Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge; however it will normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin. The drain hole will have a “cleaning spike” inserted into it. This ensures that small pieces off food can not enter the drain. After you have cleaned the inside of your Fridge and removed any food residues from around the whole, use the “cleaning spike” to make sure that there are no blockages. Use standard furniture polish to clean the Fridge/Freezer exterior.
Make sure that the doors are closed to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside. The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment. Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/Freezer.
CHANGING THE INTERNAL LIGHT
- Before carrying out the LED replacement always disconnect the mains supply.
- Hold and lift up the LED light cover.
- Remove the old LED by unscrewing it in an anti-clockwise direction.
