PART - 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES Information about New Generation Cooling Technology Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a different operating system to static fridges. Other (static) fridges may experience a build up of ice in the freezer compartment due to door openings and humidity in the food.

Natural Ion Tech Natural Ion Tech spreads negative ions which neutralize particles of unpleasant smell and dust in the air.
PART - 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE Refrigerator compartment • To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting. • Never place warm food in the refrigerator.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment. Food Vegetables and fruits Maximum storage time 1 week How and where to store Vegetable bin Meat and fish 2 - 3 Days Wrap in plastic foil, bags, or in a meat container and store on the glass shelf Fresh cheese 3 - 4 Days On the designated door shelf Butter and margarine 1 week On the designated door shelf Bottled products e.g.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily. Important note: • Never refreeze thawed frozen food. • The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time.
Meat and fish Snails Preparation In salty water, or in an aluminium or plastic container Maximum storage time (months) 3 NOTE: Thawed frozen meat should be cooked as fresh meat. If the meat is not cooked after defrosting, it must not be re-frozen.
Dairy products Preparation Maximum storage time (months) Storage conditions Packet (Homogenized) Milk In its own packet 2-3 Pure Milk – in its own packet Cheese - excluding white cheese In slices 6-8 Original packaging may be used for short-term storage. Keep wrapped in foil for longer periods. Butter, margarine In its packaging 6 PART - 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning. Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it.
Defrosting Your refrigerator performs automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporisation container behind your refrigerator and evaporates there. • Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your refrigerator before cleaning the vaporisation container. • Remove the vaporisation container from its position by removing the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy water at specific time intervals.
