SCRAPPING OLD APPLIANCES

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and

Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the

environment) and basic components (which can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to

specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all

materials.

Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue;

it is essential to follow some basic rules:

- WEEE should not be treated as household waste;

- WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by

registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who

has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type

and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.

15

Conformity

By placing the mark on this product, we are confirming compliance to all relevant European

safety, health and environmental requirements which are applicable in legislation for this product.

Energy Saving

For better energy saving we suggest :

• Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a

well ventilated room.

• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature

and therefore causing continuous functionaliting of the compressor.

• Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.

• Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.

• In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.

• Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible

• Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.

• Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance

Before first use

You must allow the fridge to settle for at least four hours prior to switching the

power on.

It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a

solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior.

The fridge may have an odor to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.

Please note:

The appliance will start 5℃ for fridge and -18℃ for freezer and work continuously until it

comes down to the correct temperature. If the appliance is switched off, you should allow

five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the

compressor. Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or

alkalis in the appliance. This fridge cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity

cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface; it then dissipates and drains through

a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates harmlessly. The presence of frosting at

the back is not a malfunction of the fridge.

16

Fridge use

 Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.

 Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool

to room temperature before being put into the refrigerator.

 Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will

cause frost and possible condensation problems which will be difficult to

remove.

 Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting

into the fridge.

 Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of

moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant odors.

 Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the

front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused by the door being open for

prolonged periods.

 Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the

foods to allow the cool air to circulate.

 Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the

temperature low and save energy.

 Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other produce. This

will help to prevent juices from raw meat contaminating other foodstuffs.

Freezer use

 The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.

 Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before

putting them into the freezer.

 Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If

no information is provided, foods should not be stored for more than

three months after the purchase date.

 Store food in small packages (ideally less than 1kg).This reduces the

freezing time and improves the quality of the food after thawing.

 Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping

sticking together, ensure it is dry.

 Label the food before freezing with information including type of food and

dates of storage and expiry.

 Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. Only defrost as much food as

is required to prevent wastage.

17

 Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer

compartments as they could explode.

 The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24 hour

period is 2.6kg.

 Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

My Zone drawer humidity adjustment

The temperature inside the My Zone drawer can be regulated from +3°C to – 3°C.

This is the ideal drawer to store meat and fish. Moreover you can regulate the

humidity level:

• High humidity by keeping the adjustment slider closed (fully to the left).

Low humidity by keeping the adjustment slider open (fully to the right).

18

Storage

The fridge section is for short term food storage. Although low temperatures can be

maintained, extended periods of food storage is not recommended.

As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary between

the different sections. As such, foods should be stored in different sections

according to type.

1. Butter, cheeses etc.

2. Food in jars and bottles

3. Drinks, e.g. milk

4. Cooked food

5. Yogurts, preserves etc.

6. 75cl bottles or ready meals etc.

7. Fruit and vegetables

8. Fresh meat and fish/fruit and vegetables

The fridge shelves can be moved according to the

storage requirements within the fridge section. To

move the shelf, lift up the rear section and then

pull it outwards.

To replace, slide the shelf back into the slot, and

then lower the rear section.
