A Do not fill above the level, othenA/ise, it may overflow. Before filling with water, ensure that the water tank is steady and in a correct position. Apart from drinking water, other beverages (such as milk, juice, carbonated beverage, etc) are not suggested to be used, especially beverages that include grain must not be used (may result in blockage and damage). Hot water must not be filled into the water tank directly. Do not touch other parts of the unit when filling water, it may iead to leakage. receiving water from the water dispenser • You should use the type of container that can fit under the water dispenser. Place the container properly underneath and push on the lever for water to flow. noises inside the unit! You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them! These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system. 18 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 compartments. 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 doors. We recommend that you only open the doors when you need to put food in or take food out. salad bin The temperature in the salad bin is best to store fruits and vegetables, but not favourable to store fish and meat. meat & fish bin The temperature in the meat & fish bin is best to store fish and meat. Do not store fruits and vegetables as they may be frozen and damaged. This is because the temperature in the meat & fish bin is lower than other fridge bins (can be lower than 0°C). For example, if the fridge temperature is set to 4°C, the temperature in the meat & fish bin can be around between -2°C to 2°C. preparations for freezing • Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes faster, takes less time to defrost and enaljles you to control the quantity you need better. • • • • Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible. Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it. Don't freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave it straight from the freezer. Use special freezer bags, freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, and aluminium foil (heavy duty grade only). If in doubt, double wrap your food. Don't use aluminium foil for acidic foods, e.g. citrus fruits. Don't use thin cling film, glass, or used food containers without cleaning. • Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging. • Leave a small amount of air space when freezing liquids to allow expansion. • You can use the space in the freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, e.g. stew) in square blocks. This is known as "Preforming". Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it, and ^ then remove it from the container and seal the bag. • Label your frozen foods as they will look the same when in frozen state. Use special freezer tapes, labels and pens with different colours. This allows you to easily organise and to effectively use the freezer. Write the contents and date; otherwise the frozen food might exceed the storage time and this could cause food poisoning. Please refer to your food packaging for the recommended storage time. 19 • You may also add the weight and cooking notes, e.g. "defrost first", "cook from frozen" and keep a separate log of what is in each drawer. This will save opening the door and searching around unnecessarily. defrosting frozen food 1. Take the frozen food out from the freezer compartment and uncover the frozen food. Let it 2. 3. 4. 5. defrost at room temperature. Don't forget that defrosting in a warm area encourages the growth of bacteria and low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria. Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting. Always make sure there are no ice-crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat. These crystals indicate that the food has not fully defrosted. Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting. Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards. A bacteria. Never re-freeze anything that has been defrosted unless you cook it again, to kill off harmful Never re-freeze defrosted shellfish. Re-seal packs properiy after removing items. This prevents drying or freezer-bum and a build up of frost on any remaining food. 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, drawers and bin(s). • Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the doors are closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seals 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. cleaning the water tank and water dispenser • Remove the water tank. Wash the tank, tank cover and valve lightly under water. • After cleaning, dry them thoroughly before installing back in the fridge. • Wipe the receiving base of the water dispenser with dry towel regularly to avoid overflowing.
