frozen and to make it possible to
subsequently thaw only the quantity
required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil
or polyethylene food wraps which
are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch the food which is already frozen
to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
• Iced products, if consumed
immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment, will probably
cause frost burns to the skin.
• It is recommended to label and date
each frozen package in order to keep
track of the storage time.
Hints for the storage
of frozen food
• Ensure that frozen food has been
stored correctly by the food retailer
14. CLEANING AND CARE
For hygienic reasons the appliance
(including exterior and interior accessories)
should be cleaned regularly at least every
two months.
CAUTION!
The appliance must not be
connected to the mains during
cleaning. Danger of electrical
shock! Before cleaning switch
the appliance off and remove the
plug from the mains socket.
Exterior cleaning
To maintain good appearance of your
appliance, you should clean it regularly.
- Wipe the digital panel and display
panel with a clean, soft cloth.
- Spray water onto the cleaning cloth
instead of spraying directly on the
surface of the appliance. This
helps ensure an even distribution
of moisture to the surface.
- Clean the doors, handles and cabinet
surfaces with a mild detergent and
then wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Once defrosted, food will deteriorate
rapidly and should not be re-frozen.
Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
Switching off your appliance
If the appliance needs to be switched
off for an extended period, the following
steps should be taken to prevent mould
on the appliance.
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from
the mains socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged
open slightly to allow air to circulate.
CAUTION!
- Don't use sharp objects as
they are likely to scratch
the surface.
- Don't use Thinner, Car
detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil,
abrasive cleansers or organic
solvent such as Benzene for
cleaning. They may damage
the surface of the appliance
and may cause fire.
Interior cleaning
• You should clean the appliance interior
regularly. It will be easier to clean when
food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of
the fridge freezer with a weak solution of
bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with
warm water using a wrung-out sponge
or cloth. Wipe completely dry before
replacing the shelves and baskets.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and
removable parts.
