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 half
way 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
m5 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.
Arrangement Examples (See diagram).
1. Baked, chilled cooked food, dairy products.
2. Meat, sausages, cold cuts, cans.
3. Fruit, vegetables, salads.
4. Tubes, small bottles and cans.

6. Butter, cheese, dairy products.
7. Beverages, large bottles.
The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to
obtain the best results and storage hygiene.
