Safety and warnings
When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage
the power cord.
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or replacing the lightbulb.
Storing food and drinks
Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator as they may explode.
Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during freezing, which may cause the
container to explode.
Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.
Do not consume food if it is too cold. Food removed from the freezer compartment may be
cold enough to cause damage when brought into contact with bare skin e.g. frozen
ice cubes.
Power Failure – Food safety
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. Follow the recommendations below
if you discover food in your freezer has thawed:
1) Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter period than
recommended.
2) Thawed but refrigerator cold – refreezing generally not recommended. Fruits and some
cooked food can be refrozen but use as soon as possible. Meat, fish, poultry – use immediately
or cook then refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp and soggy.
3) Thawed and warmer than 5˚C (41˚F). Discard all food.
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
Cleaning
Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack plastic
components of your refrigerator and cause them to crack. Please refer to the cleaning care
section of this booklet for further advice.
