Removing and replacing the ice box
To remove the icebox, lift the box and then
pull towards you, releasing the unit (Fig.ꢀ11).
Note: water moisture may have condensed
and frozen the icebox in place.
Icebox
When replacing the ice bin, if it does not
fit easily, remove the box and turn the cam
mechanism 90° clockwise (Fig.ꢀ12). Reinstall
the icebox, making sure that the catch on
the tray fits into the shelf slot.
Icebox
If the ice maker does not work properly
The volume of the icebox equals the
quantity of ice cubes, which the appliance
can make in one day. Occasionally a small
number of ice cubes may remain inside the
box. If the ice gets stuck, this will result in
abnormal operation of the ice cube maker.
To avoid this problem, remove the icebox
and rearrange the ice cubes, and remove
the ice cubes which cannot be separated.
You may hear ice being dropped into the
storage compartment. This is normal.

CLEANINg CARE – EXTERIOR
Exterior
Stainless exterior doors
●●
It is important when cleaning the exterior door surface of your refrigerator, to only use
liquid dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth.
Dry the door with a clean, lint free cloth.
The use of any abrasive or stainless steel cleaners and solvents will damage the door
surface.
●●
●●
Other exterior surfaces
Clean all other exterior surfaces with a mix of warm water and liquid dishwashing
detergent, and a soft cloth.
If necessary, clean the magnetic door gasket and the centre door gaskets with an old
toothbrush, warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.
●●
●●
Water dispenser pad (Ice & Water models only)
Clean the dispenser pad and drip tray with a mixture of warm water and a mild
detergent. Dry thoroughly.
28
CLEANINg CARE – INTERIOR
Interior
●●
●●
●●
It is important to keep the interior of the refrigerator and freezer clean to help prevent
food from becoming contaminated during storage.
The amount and types of food stored determines how often cleaning should be carried
out (ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks) in the refrigerator.
Remove the shelves, door shelves and bins and rinse these parts in a mixture of warm
water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse and dry the shelves and bins thoroughly
before replacing them into the refrigerator.
Wipe over the interior surfaces with a mixture of warm water and liquid dishwashing
detergent or baking soda dissolved in warm water (add 1 tsp of baking soda to each
500 mls of water). Rinse with clean water.
●●
●●
●●
To help remove “old stale refrigerator” smells add a few drops of vanilla essence or
vinegar to the water before cleaning.
Do not use harsh, abrasive cloths or cleaners or highly perfumed, strong smelling
cleaners or solvents on any part of the refrigerator as they can cause damage.
Glass shelves
Clean with warm water and detergent or a glass cleaner. If cleaning the shelves without
removing from the cabinet, use only warm water and detergent as a glass cleaner can
damage the plastic components of your refrigerator.
To remove the shelf, tilt the front
upwards so that the restraining pegs are

STORINg fOOD IN yOUR REfRIgERATOR
Your refrigerator helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods. The cold
temperature slows down the major causes of food spoilage – namely, the growth of
bacteria, moulds and yeasts, and any chemical and physical reactions.
fresh food care
The quality of food before it is placed in the refrigerator is critical to successful storage.
For best results:
Select foods that are very fresh and of high quality.
Buy only the amount that you will use within the recommended storage time. If you buy
extra, plan to freeze it.
●●
●●
●●
Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food
from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing flavour and will help maintain
freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped
provided they are stored in the vegetable bins of the refrigerator.
Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from
foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be easily tainted by strong odours.
Refrigerate fresh, perishable foods as soon as possible after purchase. If left at room
temperature for any length of time the rate of deterioration will be accelerated.
Avoid placing food directly in front of air outlets, as it may freeze and cold air needs to
circulate to maintain safe food storage.
●●
●●
●●
●●
●●
Do not open the refrigerator door unnecessarily.
Cool hot foods down before placing them in the refrigerator. This should be done
quickly. It can be aided by placing the container of food in a bowl of ice and water;
renew the ice as necessary. (Note hot containers may damage shelves and walls of the
refrigerator).
Store raw and cooked food in separate containers or packaging to prevent cross
contamination.
●●
In addition:
●●
●●
Keep the refrigerator clean. Wipe the inside walls and shelves frequently (refer to
‘Cleaning Care’) and place only clean containers in the refrigerator.
Keep a close check on the quality of food in your refrigerator. Discard any food that
shows signs of spoilage. Pay particular attention to meat, fish and poultry, as these
foods are highly perishable. Use food within the recommended storage times.
Dairy foods and eggs
●●
●●
●●
Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended ‘use by/best before/best by’ date
stamped on them. Store them in the refrigerator and use within the recommended time.
Butter can become easily tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored in a
sealed container.
Eggs should be stored in the refrigerator. For best results, especially when baking,
remove the eggs from the refrigerator two hours before they are to be used.

STORINg fOOD IN yOUR REfRIgERATOR
Red meat
●●
●●
Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil.
Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juices lost from the
raw meat contaminating the cooked product.
●●
Delicatessen meats should be used within the recommended storage time.
Poultry
●●
●●
●●
Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water. Dry and
place on a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
Poultry pieces should also be stored this way. Whole poultry should never be stuffed
until just before cooking, otherwise food poisoning may result.
Cool and refrigerate cooked poultry quickly. Remove stuffing from poultry and store
separately.
Fish and seafood
●●
●●
Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until required, refrigerate
on a plate loosely covered with plastic wrap, waxed paper or foil.
If storing overnight or longer, take particular care to select very fresh fish. Whole fish
should be rinsed in cold water to remove loose scales and dirt and then patted dry with
paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.
Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1 – 2 days.
●●
Precooked foods and leftovers
These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out.
Keep for only 1 – 2 days.
●●
●●
●●
Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.
Fruit and vegetable bins
●●
●●
Although most fruit and vegetables keep best at low temperatures, take care not
to store the following at temperatures of less than 7°C for long periods: Citrus fruit,
tropical fruit, tomatoes, cucumbers.
Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening of the flesh,
browning, accelerated decaying and/or loss of flavour.
Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas, mangoes or pepinos.
If possible store fruit and vegetables separately, ie fruit in one bin and vegetables in
the other.
Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity control slide that can be adjusted
depending on what is stored in the bins. For more information on using the Humidity
Control refer to page 27.
●●

31
STORINg fOOD IN yOUR fREEZER
We recommend the use of temperatures -18°C or colder to store food. This means that
the food can be kept for longer periods than when refrigeration temperatures are used.
This is because the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts are stopped, and chemical
and physical reactions are severely restricted at such low temperatures.
frozen food care
For best results:
Choose only high quality foods that freeze well.
●●
●●
For best results store at -18°C or colder. Take care to maintain this low storage
temperature, eg try to avoid opening the freezer door unnecessarily. If your ice cream is
soft you are running your freezer too warm.
●●
Leave space at the top of containers, glass jars or plastic bags containing liquids or
semi-solid foods. These expand as they freeze. Usually 20 – 50 mm head space is
recommended. Seal. Ideally, remove all the air from the package after food is frozen.
Packages or containers of solid foods should have the air removed from them and be
sealed tightly before freezing.
●●
●●
Use the Fast Freeze function when freezing fresh food. This helps to speed up the
freezing process, giving optimum freezing results. It is recommended that the function is
activated approximately 2 hours before required. For more information refer to page 26.
Freeze immediately or as quickly as possible. Freeze only small quantities of food at any
one time. For best results we recommend that only 1 kg of food be frozen per 25 L of
freezer storage volume at any one time. (About 3 kg in small freezers and 4 kg in larger
freezers). For faster freezing, we recommend that fresh food is placed at the top of the
freezer compartment close to the air vent.
Thaw foods preferably in a refrigerator, or using a microwave oven or multifunction oven.
Keep a constant turnover of food. Use older items of food first and do not exceed
recommended storage times.
Use good quality freezer proof packaging to maintain food quality.
If food is only covered in plastic film place inside a freezer-proof plastic bag.

Meat, poultry and game
●●
Do not try to freeze more than 1 kg meat per 25 L of freezer storage volume at any one
time. Meat must be frozen quickly in order to maintain its texture.
Do not stuff poultry before freezing.
Red meat can be cooked from frozen, or from the partly or completely thawed states.
Remember to allow extra cooking time if cooking from frozen.
Always thaw poultry completely before cooking.
●●
●●
●●
Fish
●●
●●
Fish is best frozen commercially. If, however, you do want to freeze fish at home, make
sure the fish is very fresh and of high quality.
Clean, scale and preferably leave whole. All fish should be wrapped in two layers
of packaging as depending on the type of fish, odours and flavours can be readily
transferred either to or from it. Seal well.
●●
●●
For best results, cook from either the frozen or partly thawed state.
Fruit
Choose high quality, mature, and ready to eat fruit. Preferably select varieties
recommended for freezing.
Avoid unripe and over-ripe fruit.
The way fruit is packed depends on how it is to be used. Fruits packed in syrup are ideal
for desserts, whereas fruits packed without sugar are better used for cooking. Most
fruits can be stored for 8 – 12 months.
●●
●●
Vegetables
●●
Most vegetables freeze well, although ‘salad’ vegetables lose their crispness. Other
vegetables, eg celery, onion and tomatoes, should only be used in cooked dishes as they
soften on freezing.
Freeze only high quality, mature, ready-to-eat vegetables.
Sort and discard any vegetables that are damaged.
It is necessary to blanch most raw vegetables prior to freezing.
Blanching involves a short cooking period during which vegetable enzymes are
destroyed. If these enzymes are not destroyed they cause undesirable physical and
chemical changes during freezer storage.
Vegetables can be blanched in boiling water, steam or microwave oven. If using boiling
water, boil vegetables for 2 – 4 minutes and cool quickly.
In general, frozen vegetables are best cooked from their frozen state.
●●
●●
●●
●●
●●
●●
Prepared and cooked foods
●●
Most cooked foods can be frozen but it is not recommended to freeze the following:
Cooked egg white, custards, cream fillings and milk puddings, gelatine or jelly-like
dishes, mayonnaise and similar salad dressings, meringue toppings. These tend to
separate on thawing.
