Using the fridge

pressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the oil sufficient time to return to the compressor.
Temperature inside the fridge
A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5°C. If the thermostat control is set too cold, food with a high water content may start to freeze if it has been placed in the coldest places in the fridge. (+ warm, - cold) Meat, fish and milk should be put in the coldest part of the cabinet. The temperature will be affected by:
· How often the door is opened
· How much food is stored
· Position of the appliance (See the Installation
section.)
Measuring the temperature
If the temperature is measured using a standard, single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of water centrally placed inside the appliance. This will reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly on the shelf.

· Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to
circulate freely between the products.
· Do not place food products directly against the
cooling plate on the rear wall as they may freeze here.
· Also never put warm products into the appliance.
Wait until they have cooled down.
· Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and
flavours from tainting other food.
Switching off
Turn the control anti-clockwise past the click position to "H". Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket.
Cabinet interior
The shelves and door compartments are removable and can easily be re-arranged. Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to enable them to be removed. The lower door compartment and the glass shelf above the salad drawer must not be moved. They are required for proper air circulation inside the cabinet. Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and thus prevent food products from touching the cooling plate.
Hanging h alf-shelf
The half-shelf can be moved sideways. It can be hung under all door shelves, except the lowest one.
