Hints for refrigeration
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some useful hints:
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be
well covered and can be stored on any of the glass
shelves.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer.
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.
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.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Defrosting
During normal operation, the evaporator in the
refrigerator compartment will gradually become
covered with frost.
This frost is a thermal insulator which inhibits cooling
and must therefore be removed, otherwise there will
be a significant reduction in cooling efficiency and an
increase in electricity consumption.
To defrost, proceed as follows:
1. Press the button in the middle of the thermostat
knob, making sure that the button is firmly inserted.
2. Once defrosted, the refrigerator will start up again
automatically but the water which has collected in
the tray placed under the evaporator must be
removed.
3. Dry thoroughly the ice compartment.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator as you could
damage it.
