The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to
obtain the best results and storage hygiene.
1. Appliance is for the short term storage of fresh food and drinks.
2. Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers and are best placed on
either of the removable shelves.
3. Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables
should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.
4. Bottles can be placed in the door section.
5. 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.
6. Shelves incorporate rear stops and tilting for storing bottles. Lift shelf to clear
grooves when adjusting.
7. To tilt a shelf place the back of the shelf one level below the front of the shelf. To
remove a tilted shelf, first release the back off the grooves and then pull it.
8. Keep the food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool
before placing them in the fridge. Do not store explosive substances in the refrigerator.
High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Left over canned food
should not be stored in the can.
9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0 degrees
centigrade. Therefore wrap pineapples, melon, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce
in polythene bags.
10. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, dairy compartments, drawers, bottle grippers are all
removable.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat (see diagram).
Settings may be made from 1 to 5, the coldest position. When the
appliance is switched on for the first time, the thermostat should be
adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no
higher than +5°C (+41°F ).
We recommend you set the thermostat halfway between the 1 and 5
setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i. e. towards 5
you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections
of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and
the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal.
Over ambient temperatures of 25°C (77°F) especially in summer turn
the thermostat knob towards 5. Under ambient temperatures of 25°C
(77°F) turn the thermostat knob to a half way position.
Frequent door opening cause higher internal temperatures, so close
the door as soon as possible after use.
In case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment reduce
the thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time that the fridge
temperature is maximum +5 degrees C (41 degrees F). Once the ice
build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as
normal, then you may increase the thermostat setting, if required.
