Internal Parts

Storage shelves

¥ The shelves can be removed for cleaning.

¥ To permit storage of food packages of various

sizes, the shelves can be placed at different
heights.

¥ To remove the internal shelf pull forward until it can

be tipped up or down and removed.

¥ Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at

a different height.

The glass shelf above the vegetable drawers
and the bottle shelf should always remain in
position, to ensure correct air circulation.

Door shelves

¥ To permit storage of food packages of various

sizes, the central door shelf can be adjusted in
height.

¥ Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the

arrows until it comes free, then reposition as
required.

¥ For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom

door sheves 

can be easily removed and refitted in

position.

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 doors open for long

periods or opening the doors 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 automatic
defrosting and so a saving in electricity
consumption.

¥ Do not place warm foods inside the appliance.

Allow warm foods to cool first.

¥

Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in
the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge.

¥ Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille

on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean.

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.
