· Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove
all mobile parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the fridge to avoid any shock.
· Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it
standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
· Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an
environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful
during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance's cooler elements from being
damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements, move your
fridge from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is
located for a few minutes.
STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE
The fridge helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.
Fresh food care for best results:
· Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
· Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from
dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will
also prevent odour transfer.
· Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods
such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
· Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge.
VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer
absences:
· Remove all foods.
· Disconnect from electrical outlet.
· Clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost pan.
· Leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power
is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by blacking dry
ice on top of packages.
SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR
· Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
· Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.
