Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect
juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the
unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain
the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the
door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take
food out.
Cleaning
Defrosting
Frost might build up in the unit after the it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the
frost using a plastic scraper (not included).
Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrap away the frost, nor should you use any
electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 10 mm
(0.39”). Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:
1. Take out the food, turn the unit off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the
frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not possible, wrap the food in several
sheets of newspaper or large towels and then in a thick blanket to keep it cool.
2. Place a dry towel on the edge of the compartment shelf. Scrape
away the frost using a plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost
can be speeded up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer
compartment and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrape
it away with the plastic scraper.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit’s interior and exterior.
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
• Remove all the shelves and drawers.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with
warm water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and
drawers.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make
sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside
the unit.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
