The door shelves
The door shelves can be easily removed for
cleaning. Gently ease the shelf in the directions
shown.
Adjustment of the door shelves can be made to
accommodate varying heights of bottles and
other containers. Store light items such as
small cartons and jars on the door shelves.
The bottle shelf can be used for the storage of
heavier bottles.
Normal operating sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the
coils or tubing at the rear, to the fixed freezer
shelves.
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.
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.
Health and Safety Guidelines
● 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.
