John Lewis JLSS1814 Refrigerator User Manual


 
Hints for energy saving
Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator towards a warmer
setting to allow automatic defrosting and
will therefore save in electricity
consumption.
Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour
position food so that air can circulate freely
around it
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and
place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two
days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should
be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special
drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in
special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as
much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
the maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating
plate;
the freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be added
during this period;
only freeze top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
prepare food in small portions to enable it
to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw only
the quantity required;
wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the packages
are airtight;
do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food which is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in temperature of the latter;
lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food;
it is advisable to show the use by date on
each individual pack to enable you to keep
tab of the storage time.
Warning! Lolly ices, if consumed
immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment can cause
freezer burns.
