To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food to avoid contamination. For safety, only store raw meat for two to three days. Keep the food packed wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool before placing them in the fridge. Left over canned food should not be stored in the can. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water ices should not be consumed too cold. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0°C. Therefore wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags. Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge inner liner where the cold wall is located. Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material (Clingfilm) before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface. STORING FROZEN FOOD Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage compartment. To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered: Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. Ensure that contents are labelled and dated. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging. If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then refrozen. MAKING ICE CUBES Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon; never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. FREEZING FRESH FOOD Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 6 kg (13.2 lb) Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment. When freezing fresh food turn the thermostat knob towards 5 Small quantities of food up to 1/ kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without having to rotate the temperature control knob. You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
Operating 2 and 4 Slice Toasters Safety
- Don’t put the toaster in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom or near water contained in a bath- tub, basin or any other vessel, and don’t use it outdoors.

OPERATION OF THE COOKER HOOD EXTRACTION SYSTEM Operation - The control panel is situated on the front of the cooker hood and is equipped with various suction speeds and a light switch. Use the highest speed for situations of high level vapour concentration in cooking, e.g. boiling water, pan frying It is advisable to switch on the suction at least 5 minutes prior to cooking and leave it in operation for 15 minutes approximately after cooking is terminated. The isolator switch for the extractor is located on the wall behind the hob or above the extractor The notes below are for information purposes only, all of the tasks listed will be performed by UPP Cleaning - The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly externally. Use a cloth moistened with neutral liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents. Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks. Replacing light bulbs 40W - Unscrew the damaged light bulb and replace with an incandescent oval light bulb with a maximum of 40W E14. Remove the grill in order to reach the light bulb area. Replacing the halogen bulbs - Access the light compartment – extract the lamp cover by levering it off with a small screwdriver or similar tool. Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down. Replace the damaged light bulb. Only use halogen bulbs of 20W max (G4), making sure you do not touch them with your hands. Close the lamp cover (it will snap shut). Caution - This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance. Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly fixed! The suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same channel used for fumes discharged by appliances powered by other than electricity. The environment must always be adequately aerated when the cooker hood and other appliances powered by other than electricity are used at the same time. Flambé cooking with a cooker hood is prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may cause fire accidents; therefore free flame cooking must be avoided. Frying of foods must be kept under close control in order to avoid overheated oil catching fire. Carry out fumes discharging in accordance with the regulations in force by local laws for safety and technical restrictions.

Hold it over a sink, turn it upside down, and drain the water from the reservoir, via the water inlet. Close the cover. Sit the iron on its heel. Leave it to cool down completely. When it’s cold, wipe off any moisture, and wind the cable round the heel. Clean the outside surfaces of the appliance with a damp cloth. Remove spots from the soleplate with a little vinegar. Store the iron on its heel, to avoid corrosion and damage to the soleplate. ANTI-SCALE The anti-scale agent incorporated in the iron helps prevent the build-up of scale. Don’t use a descaling solution, or you’ll destroy the anti-scale agent. OPERATING THE KETTLE Always pour water slowly and carefully to prevent the splashing of scalding water 1 Wherever possible, fill through the spout, as this helps to free the filter from lime scale build-up. The integrated water level indicators allow you to easily see the amount of water in the kettle. Always ensure that the level of water in the kettle is filled to at least the minimum level shown on the water gauge. If your kettle does not have a water gauge, always ensure that the element is covered. Boil only as much water as you need as this saves electricity. 2 Place the appliance on the base unit, ensuring the appliance locates on to the 360° connector. The 360° connector allows the appliance to be located at any position - ideal for left and right handed users and convenient positioning on the worktop. 3 Plug in and switch on at the wall socket. 4 Switch the appliance on. The water level indicator will light up. 5 When the water boils, the appliance will switch off automatically. Depending on the model variant you have purchased, the kettle light will go off and/or the kettle will whistle to indicate it has boiled. If you are using the appliance for the first time, pour away the boiled water and refill. 6 Lift the appliance from the base unit by the handle, ensuring you hold the appliance level. To re-boil, switch to ON again. If the appliance has just switched off, wait a minute or so before switching it back on again. If you do not put in enough water, or switch on the appliance when it is empty, the safety cut-out will switch off the power automatically. If this happens, refill and wait a few minutes for the element to cool, then use as normal. K Helpline 0844 871 0954 Helpline 1800 409 119 2
