Impact on food storage
• A high temperature setting may accelerate food to turn bad, hence increase food
waste. Therefore for optimum food preservation, a middle temperature setting is
generally the most safe and suitable.
• Under recommended setting, the best storage time in the fridge is no more than 3
days.
• Under recommended setting, the best storage time in the freezer is no more than 1
month.
• The best storage time may reduce under other settings.
Door Alarm
When the fridge or freezer door is left opened for over 2 minutes, the door alarm will sound. The
alarm will sound 3 times per minute and will automatically stop sounding after 8 minutes. Simply
close the door to deactivate the alarm.
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 aect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
• Cooked meats/shes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/shes to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/shes in a container which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the fridge
compartment.
• 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 avours 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.
