OPERATION

Before use

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one «OFF» (O) position.

Position 1 = minimum coldness Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position. An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,

although the temperature will be affected by:

Room temperature

How often the door is opened

How much food is stored

Position of the appliance

In determining the correct temperature control setting all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary. When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stablise before making further changes.

Important During prolonged periods of abnormally

hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.

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. Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the

salad drawer.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the bottom salad bin.

Butter & 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.

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.

The door shelves

Depending on the use of the bottle shelf (3) the short shelf (2) can be adjusted in the direction of the arrow (a).

For more thorough cleaning, shelves can be removed, then refitted in their position. To make these adjustements proceed as follows: top shelf (1): gradually pull in the direction of the arrows until it comes free; middle shelf (2): turn it in the direction of the arrows until it comes free from the metallic crosspiece (4); bottle shelf (3): push on the buttons (b) until it comes free, then pull it in the direction of the arrow.

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is even more important than ever.

The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible.

■

Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.

■

Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible.

■

Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.

■

Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave food in a cool place in order that it can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).

■

Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be in separate containers. Take care not to let the meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip, remove everything and clean thoroughly.

■

Do not store food uncovered.

■

Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean the interior (see “Maintenance and Cleaning”).

■

Never allow spillages to dry and harden.

■

Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped eggs.

■

Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to ensure that it is clean and free from debris.

■

Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry them with a clean towel before handling food.

■

Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contamination by not using the same work surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly in between.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils below, to the cooling evaporator.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
