Hints

Saving Energy

¥ Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is

placed. See the section ÒInstallationÓ. When
installed correctly the cabinet will consume less
energy.

¥ Try to avoid keeping the 

door open for long periods

or opening the door too frequently as warm air will
enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.

¥ If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat

knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and
the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the
evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a
warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow a saving
in electricity consumption.

¥ Do not place warm foods inside the appliance.

Allow warm foods to cool first.

¥ Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille

on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean.

Ice cube production

The refrigerator is equipped with one or more ice
cube trays, which should be filled with drinking water
and placed in the special compartment.

Do not use metal implements to detach the
trays.

Hints for refrigeration

¥

Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food,
particularly if it has a strong smell.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some useful hints:
¥

Raw meat 

(beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in

polythene bags and place on top of the salad
compartment, this being the coldest spot in the
refrigerator.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.

¥

Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.:

these should

be well covered and can be stored on any of the

wire shelves.

¥

Fruit & vegetables:

these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer

/s.

¥

Butter & cheese:

these should be placed in

special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium
foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as
possible.

¥

Milk bottles:

these should have a top and should

be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
