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 control knob with 6
temperature positions and one «OFF» (O)
position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat control knob 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 abnormal 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. If you
wish to return to a lower temperature, turn
the thermostat knob to a higher number,
however you should turn the setting lower
occasionally 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 & chicken or
poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on
top of the salad bin.
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.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves
can lie over the rear ones (see fig.).
