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;

the intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).

The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:

- room temperature

- how often the door is opened

- how much food is stored

- position of the appliance

Important

If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is
possible that because a very low tempera
ture has been selected, the motor is working
continuously, which prevents the defrost
cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number
should be selected on the thermostat and
you should notice that the motor cuts out
from time to time, which is correct.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature,
turn the thermostat to a higher number, how
ever you should turn the setting lower occa
sionally to allow automatic defrosting.

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 & wild fowl): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper.

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 crisper.
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

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes
the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as figure.

For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf and
the bottle shelf can be removed by pulling them in
the director of the arrows, then refitting them in
position.

Operation

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.
