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 unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool. ◆ To prevent transfer of favors 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 door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out. CLEANING Defrosting Frost may accumulate on the inner rear surface of the appliance which will automatically defrost during the off cycle of the compressor. Water is channeled via the drain hole to the collection tray above the compressor where it will evaporate. Please ensure the drain hole is checked and cleaned on a regular basis so water can exit the storage compartment. Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit ◆ Remove all the shelves and the salad bin. To remove the salad bin first remove the lower door shelf. ◆ Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a"wrung-out" sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and salad bin. ◆ Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal 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. 7
