Important safety instructions  
Storing food and drinks  
Never store volatile/flammable materials or solvents in your appliance as they may explode or  
adversely react with materials in this appliance.  
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. Frozen food may be cold enough to cause damage when  
brought into contact with bare skin, eg. 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 but warmer than 40°F (4°C). Red meat can be cooked immediately and refrozen but  
use as soon as possible. Discard all other frozen foods.  
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 appliance and cause them to crack. Please refer to the cleaning care section  
of this guide for further advice.  
Always keep the floor around the toe-kick area clean, to limit the amount of dirt or dust that may  
enter the condenser cooling circuit of the product.

Before you start  
Before placing food in the compartment  
Ideally, allow the compartment to run empty overnight, or for at least 5 hours, to allow it to cool  
to the appropriate temperature before placing food inside.  
Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove  
manufacturing and transportation dust.  
The appliance may have an odor initially, but this will go when the compartment has cooled  
sufficiently.  
Energy efficiency  
Do not leave the drawer open for any longer than is necessary.  
For better energy performance, do not overfill the product as this may restrict cold air distribution  
in some areas.  
Regularly clean and check the drawer seal (gasket) to ensure a good seal.  
If your appliance is turned off for any reason, wait 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will  
allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalize before restarting.  
The compartment temperature is accurately controlled and does not change with the  
temperature or humidity of the surroundings; whether summer or winter.

Customizing the storage environment  
Freezer mode  
The use of temperatures of 0°F / -18 °C or colder to store food 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. This results in food staying fresher for longer.

Additional freezer mode functions  
Note: Only one Freezer mode function may be operated at any one time.  
Bottle Chill  
This function allows you to rapidly chill your beverages in the freezer without the worry of  
forgetting about them. Activating Bottle Chill drops the freezer down to its coldest setting for  
a 15 minute time period. After 15 minutes, an alarm will sound to remind you to remove your  
beverage. The user alarm will continue to sound until the drawer is opened and the display panel  
is unlocked. The Bottle Chill light will also flash.  
Remember to remove your beverage when the alarm sounds, to ensure the liquid does not  
freeze.  
Important!  
This function can only be activated when the compartment is already set to ‘Freezer’ setting.

you that Bottle Chill is active.  
Fast Freeze  
The Fast Freeze function has been designed to assist in preserving fresh food quality by freezing  
food at a faster rate than the normal freezer setting. Activating Fast Freeze drops the freezer  
temperature down to its coldest temperature for a 24 hour time period. You may wish to use this  
when freezing meat or when you are making frozen desserts. It is also good to use when arriving  
home from the supermarket and adding fresh food into the freezer.

you that Fast Freeze is active.  
For best results, we recommend that you activate this function approximately 2 hours before it is  
required. Alternatively, activate it when placing food into the freezer.  
Deep Freeze  
The key to long term frozen storage is low temperature. The lower the temperature, the longer  
frozen food will retain vital flavor and quality.  
The reduced temperature of Deep Freeze will keep frozen food at its best for longer periods.  
Deep Freeze sets the compartment at -13°F / -25°C.  
Ensure that food is placed in thick freezer proof packaging.

Customizing the storage environment  
Chill mode  
The Chill mode sets the compartment at a temperature that is ideal for the storage of highly  
perishable fresh meats, poultry and fish products. It is ideal to hold highly perishable food at a  
temperature as close to freezing as possible to retain their vital freshness.  
This mode sets the compartment at 31°F / -0.5°C, just above the freezing temperature for meat.  
This reduces the amount of microbial activity and slows physical changes, ensuring that meat  
stays fresher for longer.  
The quality of the perishable food that is placed in Chill mode will be critical to successful  
storage. Ensure that meat is fresh when purchased and stored.  
The Chill mode can also be used for chilling alcoholic beverages.  
Important!  
This setting is not recommended for any other food or non-alcoholic drink items.

Research tells us that highly perishable food stored on Chill mode will last 2 – 3 times longer  
than when stored at normal fridge temperatures.

Customizing the storage environment  
Fridge mode  
The Fridge mode is the ideal storage environment for most fresh foods.  
When storing fresh fruits and vegetables, we recommend that they are stored in either the bin  
on the top tray or the bin on the left-hand side of the main tray. Both of these bins are humidity  
controlled. This will help to preserve the quality of the fruits and vegetables, therefore increasing  
their storage life.  
If possible, separate fruit and vegetables for optimum storage life.  
Ensure all food is well wrapped (except for fruit and vegetables stored in the vegetable bins),  
covered or placed in a container before it is stored.  
To use Fridge mode:

Press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds to unlock the  
control panel.

button.  
Fruit and vegetable Humidity Control System (HCS)  
Humidity control cover  
The vegetable bins feature a unique hidden cover which provides two functions:  
The humidity cover seals the bins and provides a humid micro climate to extend storage times of  
fruits and vegetables.  
The humidity cover prevents condensation, which forms at high humidity, from dripping down  
onto the fruit and vegetables by retaining the moisture droplets in the lid. The ability to maintain  
high humidity in the fruit and vegetable bins may produce small amounts of water in the bottom  
of the fruit and vegetable bins. This can be wiped out as necessary.

Customizing the storage environment  
Humidity control  
Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity control button that can be adjusted to care for fruit  
or vegetables depending on what is stored in the bins. The humidity controls are located on the  
left hand side of the compartment (as shown in fig 3, on the previous page).  
If possible, try to store fruit and vegetables separately. This will help to extend their storage life.  
If there is too much water in the bins, the control can be adjusted to the FRUIT setting.  
Remember a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage. The  
vegetable screens, in the bottom of the bins, will ensure that fresh produce is held above any  
moisture in the bottom of the bins to retain optimum freshness.  
To adjust the humidity setting:  
The picture on the top of the humidity control button will show the current  
setting. To change the setting, simply push the adjustment button.

Customizing the storage environment  
Pantry mode  
The Pantry mode finally provides a solution for all those foods that you didn’t previously know  
what to do with, and have always resorted to storing on the bench or in the cupboard.  
The Pantry mode is designed specifically for foods that require a 'cool, dark place' for storage.  
Sensitive food  
There are a wide variety of foods that often perish quickly if stored at room  
temperature but can be damaged by normal refrigerator temperatures, eg.  
bananas and tomatoes.  
The Pantry mode provides a stable storage environment at 54°F / 12°C,  
making it an ideal environment for sensitive food items. Pantry mode  
also allows tropical fruits, eg. avocados, melons and pineapples, to ripen  
slowly under controlled conditions, without the risk of damage from low  
temperatures.  
A cool cupboard  
Freshly baked items such as cakes and breads can quickly turn mouldy when placed in the  
cupboard but become hard and stale when placed in a conventional refrigerator. The Pantry  
mode provides ideal storage for these items so that they remain fresher for longer. It is also a  
great place to store dried goods, cereals and other items that can become a target for mould and  
insects when stored at room temperature.  
Important!  
The Pantry mode is not suitable for highly perishable fresh dairy and meat items,  
or pre-cooked foods.

Customizing the storage environment  
Wine mode  
The conditions in which wine is stored can have large effects on its overall taste and aroma.  
Warmer temperatures can cause premature aging of wines and loss of quality. Cold temperatures  
can be just as bad, causing irreversible damage to the flavor. Temperature fluctuation can also  
have a negative impact on wine quality. Typical household fluctuations in temperature from day  
to night can cause harm to wine over time.  
The Wine mode provides an ideal controlled environment for the long and short-term storage of  
both red and white wines.  
Long-term storage  
For long-term storage (longer than one week) of both red and white wines, the ideal  
recommended storage temperature is 54°F / 12°C. When Wine mode is selected, the  
compartment is automatically set to this ideal, constant temperature, to provide the optimum  
conditions for long term storage.  
Short-term storage / serving  
Wine mode is also ideal for short-term storage (less than one week) of wines. Both red and white  
wines require different serving temperatures to ensure an optimum taste experience. White  
wines should be served at cooler temperatures (approximately 45°F / 7°C) whereas red wines  
are better served at warmer temperatures (approximately 59°F / 15°C). The Wine mode can be  
customized to provide these two optimum serving temperatures.  
Serving temperature  
Wine type  
45°F / 7°C  
Suitable for the majority of white wines including  
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blancs, Rieslings, Chenin Blancs  
and Pinot Gris. If white wines are served too cold, the  
aromas and flavors will be minimized and you won’t get  
full enjoyment.  
59°F / 15°C  
Suitable for red wines including Merlot, Bordeaux,  
Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah/Shiraz. If red  
wines are served too warm the alcohol can produce an  
unpleasant bite on the palate.

General operating instructions  
Normal operating sounds  
CoolDrawer™ with its excellent energy ratings and cooling performance, can produce sounds  
that may be different to your old refrigerator.  
Normal operational sounds include:  
Fan, airflow sound. The CoolDrawer™ has a fan which circulates air around the compartment to  
provide cooling. This produces some air flow sound. This is quite normal.  
The CoolDrawer™ also has a condenser fan to discharge heat through the condenser. This also  
produces some airflow sound. This is normal.  
Cracking or popping which may sound like ice breaking or falling. This occurs when the defrost  
function is operating.  
Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system, and can be heard as a boiling  
or gurgling noise.  
An audible hissing sound after closing the drawer. This is due to the pressure difference  
between the warm air that has entered the cabinet and suddenly cooled, and the outside  
air pressure.  
A humming sound. This is normal as the motor operates for long periods of time. This appliance  
uses an energy efficient, variable speed compressor that saves energy by running for long  
periods of time on a low speed. This is more energy efficient than the conventional on/off  
method.  
Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:  
– Floor or cabinetry uneven or weak.  
– Bottles or jars rattling.  
– Appliance not installed correctly.

Food storage tips  
Never before have we had better food available or a wider choice than we have today. We are  
more aware of quality and we are more aware of health.  
We are rediscovering the anti-aging properties of food, their ability to lower cholesterol, increase  
lifespan, and improve general well being. We pay handsomely for exotic flavors and speciality  
foods. All these valuable food qualities can be damaged if subjected to temperatures and  
conditions which are not ideal.  
These sensitive, fresh foods need to be treated with care if they are to retain their critical storage  
life, flavor, nutrients and quality beyond our expectations.  
We are passionate about food and want to ensure you are able  
to enjoy all the flavor and goodness your food has to offer. The  
following pages have been included to offer you some helpful  
advice on how to keep your food fresher, tastier, nutritious and  
safer for longer, and how to get the best out of your CoolDrawer™  
food care system.

Food storage tips  
Why do foods spoil?  
The essence of optimum food storage is excellent food care.  
The fundamental principle of improving food care is minimizing the quality losses associated  
with storage, including physical, chemical and microbiological changes, eg. moisture loss,  
bacterial growth, quality deterioration; and reducing the effects of undesirable factors, eg. dry  
air, light, unwanted moisture, odors, vibration and temperature fluctuations.  
Foods spoil or deteriorate in quality for one or more of the following reasons:  
The growth of bacteria, moulds or yeasts.  
Chemical or biochemical reactions  
Moisture loss  
Absorption of foreign odors or flavors  
How can you slow down food spoilage?  
Temperature control  
Cold temperatures will slow down bacteria, mould and yeast growth. Remember the faster you  
chill or freeze your food the safer it will be from microbial growth and the better quality it will  
retain for longer. Once chilled to below 39°F / 4°C or frozen to 0°F / -18°C the temperature must  
be kept constant and accurate without large temperature fluctuations.  
Chemical and biochemical reactions  
Such reactions occur naturally in fresh produce and are what cause foods to ripen and eventually  
to decay. Chemical reactions are slowed down at colder temperatures. This means your fruits  
and vegetables will ripen more slowly and therefore last longer when stored at refrigerator  
temperatures. The colder the temperature the slower this reaction will occur.  
Moisture loss  
Most food contains at least 60% moisture. The air in a refrigerator is very cold and therefore  
will dry out foods over a period of time. It is recommended that food is covered or wrapped to  
prevent unnecessary moisture loss.  
Absorption of foreign odors and flavors  
Exchange of odors can occur in many foods. Food such as eggs, butter and milk will absorb  
odors readily from fish. Fruit and eggs will also absorb flavor from onions. It is important to wrap  
odorous food to prevent this flavor transfer.  
Your CoolDrawer™ has constant and accurate temperature control, providing a stable  
environment for your food. This combined with rapid cooling and freezing rates reduces the rate  
at which food will deteriorate.

Food storage tips – fresh food  
Keeping food fresh  
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 good quality.  
Buy only the amount that you will use within the recommended storage time. If you buy extra,  
plan to freeze it.  
Cover  
Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from  
dehydrating, deteriorating in color or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also  
prevent odor transfer. Vegetables and fruit 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 tainted by strong odors.  
Separate  
Store raw and cooked food in separate containers or packaging to prevent cross contamination.  
Store fruit and vegetables separately.  
Chill  
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.  
Make sure that there is enough room for air to circulate freely around food items. Cold air needs  
to circulate to maintain safe food storage.  
Avoid opening the refrigerator drawer 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 also that hot containers may damage storage bins or trays in the appliance).  
In addition:  
Keep the compartment clean. Wipe the inside walls and shelves frequently and place only clean  
containers in the compartment.  
Check the quality of the food in your appliance regularly. 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.

Food storage tips – fresh food  
Dairy foods and eggs  
Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended use by / best before  
/ best by date stamped on them. Store them using Fridge mode and  
use within the recommended time.  
Vacuum packed cheese should be kept unopened in the original  
packaging. Once opened, place in a sealed plastic bag, or wrap in foil  
to prevent drying out.  
Butter can become 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.  
Red meat  
Place fresh red meat in a covered container or loosely cover with waxed  
paper or plastic wrap or foil.  
Store cooked and raw meat separately. This will prevent any juices from  
the raw meat contaminating the cooked product.  
Delicatessen meats should be used within the recommended storage time.  
For best results, store fresh red meat using Chill mode.  
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.  
For best results, store fresh poultry using Chill mode.  
Fish and seafood  
Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until  
required, refrigerate 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.  
For best results, store fresh seafood using Chill mode.  
Important!  
Always store raw meat, poultry, fish separately in the refrigerator to stop them dripping on or  
touching other foods.

Food storage tips – fresh food  
Precooked foods and leftovers  
These should be stored in suitable, covered containers so that the  
food will not dry out.  
Storage containers should be shallow to assist in rapid cooling.  
Keep for only 1 – 2 days.  
Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.  
How should cooked meats be stored?  
Cover all cooked meats to prevent drying and contamination from raw foods.  
Do not put piping hot meats in the refrigerator. Cool left-over cooked meat quickly after cooking,  
then refrigerate.  
Well cooked roasts will keep longer than very rare roasts.  
Leave a roast whole, loosely covered with foil, in a cool place until it has partly cooled. Then wrap  
securely with foil and place in the fridge.  
Leaving pieces whole prevents meat drying out.  
To limit contamination and bacterial growth, do not slice meat until just before use.  
Cured and smoked meats are less perishable than fresh meats. Leave pre-packaged items in  
their original wrappings or vacuum packs and refrigerate promptly. Once opened, keep tightly  
covered in the compartment set on Fridge mode and use before the expiry date.  
Herbs and spices  
Fresh herbs should be stored using Fridge mode.  
Dried herbs and spices, which gradually lose their strength and flavor when exposed to heat,  
light and air can be stored using Pantry mode.  
You can also seal fresh herbs in a freezer bag and keep them frozen for several months.  
Salad dressings and sauces  
Store opened jars of commercial mayonnaises on Fridge mode – make sure they are tightly  
sealed and they will keep for a number of months.  
Products such as mayonnaise, mustard and tomato sauce may develop brown or black crusts  
around the rim of the bottle as a result of oxidation. It’s not harmful and doesn’t mean the food is  
going off. Just wipe it off before use.  
Dried goods  
Seal packaging well before placing it into the compartment.  
Store dried goods, eg. flour, rice, cereal in Pantry mode in the warm months to reduce risk of  
insect infestation.

Food storage tips – fresh food  
Fruit and vegetable care  
The consumption of fresh vegetables and fruit continues to rise.  
Busy lifestyles mean we shop less often and buy a greater range of  
fresh foods. It is important that these fresh foods, including fruit and  
vegetables, retain their flavor, texture and nutrients and stay safe to  
eat for as long as possible.  
There are three main reasons why fruit and vegetables deteriorate:  
Respiration  
Fruit and vegetables are highly perishable food products. They continue to ripen or respire  
after harvest. They use oxygen from the air to convert their natural sugars to heat energy,  
carbon dioxide and water. This causes the product to lose quality and food value. Refrigeration  
temperatures are the best method to slow down this natural respiration process. The colder the  
temperature the slower most fruit and vegetables will ripen.  
Micro-organism growth  
Fruit and vegetables are usually covered with micro-organisms which will cause decay given  
the right conditions. When vegetables are bruised, or the skin is broken, decay organisms enter  
the product. Decay and rotting will then occur if it is exposed to warm temperatures. Adequate  
refrigeration is the best method of controlling decay because low temperatures slow down the  
growth of most micro-organisms.  
Moisture Loss  
Another reason why fruit and vegetables deteriorate is loss of moisture which causes them to  
wilt and shrivel. Vegetables contain approximately 90% water and water loss is a major cause of  
deterioration. If vegetables are exposed to dry, refrigerator air, they will quickly dry out.  
A high humidity, cold air environment is therefore necessary to extend the storage life of fruit  
and vegetables. This type of environment can be achieved by sealing the bins from the dry air in  
the refrigerator. This significantly increases the storage life of fruit and vegetables, ensuring they  
retain their crispness and remain a good source of essential vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre.

Food storage tips – fresh food  
How the Humidity Control System (HCS) extends the storage life of fruit and vegetables  
A specially designed lid seals the storage bins to create a controlled micro-climate. The lid has  
the following unique features:  
It completely seals off the bins from the refrigerator air. The respiration of fruit and vegetables  
provide a high humidity environment in the bin and the lid prevents them from drying out.  
It allows the temperatures in the bin to remain between 32 – 39°F / 0 – 4°C. These temperatures  
are required to slow down respiration and the growth of micro-organisms.  
It has long narrow grooves on the underside to capture and retain condensation which has  
accumulated. This prevents the moisture from dripping back down onto the fruit and vegetables  
which would cause them to rot.  
The storage life of fruit and vegetables varies enormously, being influenced by the maturity and  
quality of the produce at purchase and also the particular variety.  
You can change the environment your fruit and vegetables are stored in simply by pressing the  
humidity control button.  
Temperature sensitive fruits and vegetables  
Not all fruit and vegetables enjoy the same temperature. For some, temperatures that are too  
cold can actually cause damage to flavor, texture and freshness. For example chill injury can  
result in watery, tasteless tomatoes, stringy avocados and discolored bananas.  
It is important to care for these food items and Pantry mode does just that. It provides a cool  
(54°F /12°C) environment ideal for temperature sensitive foods. This temperature also allows fruit  
to ripen slowly under controlled conditions.  
Some examples of temperature sensitive produce best stored  
using Pantry mode:  
Tomatoes  
Cucumber  
Avocado  
Bananas  
For more examples refer to page 16.  
Points to remember:  
Fruits and vegetables not fully ripe when purchased will have a longer storage life especially  
when refrigerated.  
Root vegetables should be kept in the dark. Light slowly turns their surface green, which makes  
them taste bitter and means they contain solanine, a chemical which is toxic in large doses. You  
can peel off small green patches, but if they are green all over, throw them away.  
Store root vegetables in brown paper bags on PANTRY mode.  
Store soft, small fruit in the compact storage tray.

Food storage tips – fresh food  
Ethylene Gas  
Ethylene is an odorless, colorless, gas produced naturally by fruit and vegetables. This gas plays  
an important role in accelerating the ripening process. Some fruit and vegetables produce large  
amounts of ethylene, while others are very sensitive to the gas. You may have noticed that when  
you place an apple into the fruit bowl with bananas, the bananas will ripen more quickly. This is  
due to the ethylene gas given off by the apple.  
By separating those items that produce high levels of ethylene from those that are most  
sensitive, you can prevent food from spoiling too quickly. As a general rule, separating fruit and  
vegetables will help reduce the effects of ethylene.  
Examples:  
Food sensitive to ethylene  
Avocados (unripe)  
Brussel sprouts  
Broccoli  
Foods that produce high levels of ethylene  
Apples  
Apricots  
Avocados (ripe)  
Cantaloupe  
Cherimoya (custard apple)  
Passionfruit  
Peaches

Food storage tips – frozen food  
Frozen food care  
Freezing temperatures allow food to be kept for longer periods  
than when refrigeration temperatures are used. This is because:  
The growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts is stopped  
Chemical and biochemical reactions are severely restricted.  
Fast freezing of food  
The faster you freeze your fresh food, the better the quality of the end product. During the  
freezing process ice crystals form within fresh food cells. These crystals can expand to a point  
where they break down the cell walls. This can cause ‘drip loss’ on thawing. Freezing food rapidly  
ensures that these ice crystals are kept as small as possible to retain quality of frozen foods.  
Less drip loss means a more moist, more tender product on thawing, therefore retaining more of  
its nutritional value.  
Important!  
Freezer storage times are dependent not only on temperature but also on the quality of food  
being stored and the use of the correct moisture and vapor-proof packaging.

Food storage tips – frozen food  
For best results:  
Choose only high quality foods that freeze well.  
For optimum freezing results we recommend removing storage bins from the compartment and  
placing food directly on the trays.  
Temperature  
Store at 0°F / -18°C or colder. Take care to maintain this low storage temperature, eg. try to avoid  
opening the drawer unnecessarily.  
If your ice cream is soft you are running Freezer mode too warm.  
For general freezer storage select Freezer mode.  
For longer term storage select the Deep Freeze function. The lower temperature will preserve  
food for longer.  
Packaging  
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.  
Leave space at the top of containers, glass jars or plastic bags containing liquids or semi-solid  
foods. These expand as they freeze. Usually 1 – 2 inches (20 – 50 mm) head space is recommended.  
Remove all the air from the packaging and seal tightly before freezing.  
When using the Deep Freeze function, ensure that freezer packaging is thick and airtight to  
reduce risk of freezer burn.  
Time  
Freeze immediately or as quickly as possible. For best results activate the Fast Freeze function.  
Keep a constant turnover of food. Use older items of food first. Do not exceed recommended  
storage times.  
Keeping food frozen past the recommended time will not affect food safety but will adversely  
affect the quality of the food.  
Amount  
Freeze only small quantities of food at any one time. For best results we recommend that only  
2.2 lb (1 kg) food per 0.9 cu. Ft (25 L) of storage volume capacity.  
Do not pile frozen food around the air delivery vents at the rear of the compartment. It can  
prevent adequate air circulation.  
Thawing  
Thaw foods preferably in a refrigerator, or using a microwave oven or multifunction oven.

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, odors  
and flavors can be readily transferred either to or from it. Seal  
packaging well.  
For best results, cook from either the frozen or partly thawed state.  
Vegetables  
Most vegetables freeze well, although salad vegetables are not  
recommended as they will 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 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 in a 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.  
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.

Food storage tips – food safety  
The bacteria that cause foodborne illness like Campylobacter and Salmonella multiply rapidly in  
warm, moist conditions. Fortunately the illnesses these bacteria cause are avoidable. By simply  
following the easy food handling tips below you could be helping to keep your family and  
friends safe from illnesses caused by foodborne bacteria.  
Clean  
Thoroughly wash and dry hands and work surfaces before preparing food.  
Keep cooked and raw food separate during preparation and storage, and use separate chopping  
boards and utensils to avoid cross contamination.  
After preparing food, clean all surfaces that have come into contact with food.  
Cook  
Defrost frozen foods in the refrigerator thoroughly before cooking.  
Minced meat and sausages should be cooked right through, and pork and poultry juices should  
run clear – use a meat thermometer to check temperatures.  
Pre-cook ground/minced meat, sausages and poultry before barbecuing.  
Put leftovers into the refrigerator as soon as they’re cool.  
Reheat leftovers until steaming hot throughout and do not reheat more than once.  
Do not put cooked meat back on the same plate that held raw meat.  
Cover  
Always cover stored food – even in the fridge or cupboard.  
Keep raw meat and poultry covered in the bottom of the fridge and away from ready-to-eat  
food, fruit and vegetables to avoid dripping juices.  
When cooking or eating out doors, ensure that all food remains covered and cool until ready to  
cook or eat.  
Remember - the only time your food should be uncovered is when you’re eating it!  
Chill  
Bacteria that cause foodborne illness thrive at room temperature - keep food very cold or very hot.  
Use shallow containers to chill food quickly.  
Keep all perishable foods in the fridge until you are ready to use them.  
A chiller bag is a good way of keeping chilled and frozen products cold when taking them home  
from the supermarket.  
While picnicking, keep food cool by using a frozen chilly pad or drink bottle.  
Defrost frozen foods in the fridge or microwave, and marinate food in the fridge, not on the  
bench.

Caring for your appliance  
Cleaning  
Important!  
Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents that may attack the plastic  
components of your appliance and cause them to crack and may cause rusting of metal  
components (antibacterial and citrus cleaners are especially harsh). It is important to use only  
warm water and a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent on any components inside or  
outside your appliance.  
It is important to keep the interior of the compartment 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).  
Do not use harsh, abrasive cloths or cleaner, or highly perfumed, strong smelling cleaners or solvents  
on any part of your appliance.  
Interior  
Slide the clips  
Remove the storage bins from the compartment and wash in  
to the middle, to  
a solution of warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.  
unlock the tray  
Rinse the bins with clean water and dry before replacing in the  
compartment.  
The main storage tray can also be removed for cleaning. To  
remove the tray, slide the clips, located on the back sides of the  
tray, into the center of the tray (refer to fig 6). Ensure that the  
clips are pushed back to the sides once the tray is placed back  
into the cabinet.  
Wipe the control panel with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth.  
Wipe trays and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a  
solution of baking soda dissolved in warm water (1 teaspoon of  
baking soda to each pint (500 mls) of water).  
To help remove any lingering smells add a few drops of vanilla  
essence or vinegar to the water before cleaning.  
Fig. 8 Removal of storage tray  
Exterior  
Clean exterior surfaces with warm water and detergent.  
Use a toothbrush for the magnetic door gasket.  
The air inlet duct located on the bottom (refer to fig 7), left hand  
side of the product (accessed from the toe-kick area) should be  
cleaned at least once every 6 months with a cloth or vacuum  
cleaner. This will help prevent dirt or dust from blocking the inlet  
duct and reducing the efficiency of the product.  
Vacation time  
We recommend you leave your appliance operating while  
you are on vacation. Remove all perishable food from the  
compartment.
