Important safety information

It is most important that this user guide and the installation guide should be retained with the fridge freezer for future reference. Should the fridge freezer be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the guides are supplied with the fridge freezer in order that the new owner can get to know the functionality and the relevant warnings.

These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety.

You MUST read them carefully before installation or use. If you are unsure of the meanings of these warnings contact the John

Lewis branch from which you purchased the fridge freezer.

To avoid accidents to property or people it is important to follow the instructions given. Failure to do so removes any liability from John Lewis.

Warnings

• This fridge freezer is designed to be operated by adults.

Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the fridge freezer.

• Keep all packaging well away from children. There is risk of suffocation.

• Never let the power cord be crushed by the fridge freezer itself or other (heavy) objects. Never bend power cord excessively.

• Never hold the power cord or plug with wet hands.

• Never use a damaged power cord or plug, or loose main socket.

• Never let the power cord touch or pass over heating appliances.

• Do not use other electrical appliances inside the appliance.

• Containers with fl ammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. Do not store any containers with fl ammable materials, such as spray cans, fi re extinguisher refi ll cartridges etc.. in the fridge freezer or the vicinity of the fridge freezer or any other appliance.

• Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out.

• The small quantity of refrigerant used in this appliance is eco-friendly R600a (an isobutene) and is nevertheless both infl ammable / explosive if ignited in enclosed conditions.

• Never insert fi ngers or hands into the bottom of the fridge freezer, especially into the bottom back.

• When moving the fridge freezer (horizontally or tilted), two people are required (one to hold the top back handles, the other to hold the lifting areas at the bottom). If other parts are gripped, it is very dangerous and likely to slip.

Fridge freezer user guide 5

• When the fridge freezer is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing.

A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Please ensure the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

Cautions

• This fridge freezer is designed for domestic use only, specifi cally for the storage of edible foodstuffs.

• Do not place carbonated or fi zzy drinks in the freezer compartment.

• Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

• Because of the very low temperatures in the freezer some foods e.g. ice lollies could cause frost burns if consumed immediately.

• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment as they can burst as the contents freeze.

• Store pre-packed frozen foods in accordance with the frozen foods instructions and use by date.

• Do not store medicine, academic research samples which require strict temperature control in the fridge freezer.

• When cleaning, removing spillages (liquids or frozen food) or removing the ice tray do not use any implements that are hard, sharp or pointed as they may cause damage to the appliance.

• Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

• Do not install the fridge freezer on a wet fl oor or in a place with a high humidity / moisture content.

• Locate the fridge freezer in a well ventilated room and make sure that any air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.

• Pack all foods into airtight packages before placing them into the freezer compartment.

• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge compartment before being transferred to the freezer.

• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly.

Food storage tips

Wash you food before storing.

Divide and separate food into smaller pieces.

Place watery food or food with moisture on the front shelves close to the edges of the fridge compartment. If they are placed close to the cold air spout, they can be frozen.

Warm or hot food should be cooled down before storing to reduce power consumption and to enhance refrigeration performance.

Be careful when storing food such tropical fruit e.g. bananas, pineapples, tomatoes, for they can easily deteriorate in lower temperatures.

Keep as much space as possible between the items of food. If you pack the food too tight or too close, cold air circulation is hindered, resulting in poor refrigeration.

Never forget to cover or wrap food to prevent odours.
