Suggested arrangement of food in the
appliance
Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage and
hygiene:
1. The fridge compartment is for the short-term
storage of fresh food and drinks.
2. The freezer compartment is rated
and suitable for the freezing and storage of
pre-frozen food.
The recommendation for storage as
stated on the food packaging should be observed
at all times.
3. Dairy products should be stored in the special
compartment provided in the door liner.
4. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight
containers.
5. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the
shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be
cleaned and stored in the crispers.
6. Bottles can be kept in the door section.
7. 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.
8. For maximum efficiency, the removable
shelves should not be covered with paper or other
materials to allow free circulation of cool air.
9. Do not keep vegetable oil on door shelves.
Keep the food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow
hot food and beverages to cool before
refrigerating. Leftover canned food should not be
stored in the can.
10. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products
such as flavoured water ices should not be
consumed too cold.
11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if
kept at temperatures near 0°C. Therefore wrap
pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and
similar produce in polythene bags.
12. High-proof alcohol must be stored upright in
tightly closed containers. Never store products
that contain an inflammable propellant gas (e.g.
cream dispensers, spray cans, etc.) or explosive
substances. These are an explosion hazard.
13. To take out the baskets from the freezer
compartment please proceed as in item 11.
Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the setting
knob
(Item 5) located on the ceiling of fridge
compartment. Settings may be made from min,
1 ... 4, 4 being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first
time, the setting knob 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 knob on 1 position between the min and
4 setting and monitor to obtain the desired
temperature i. e. towards max 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.
We recommend that you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the
storage compartments are kept to the desired
temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very
quickly since the thermometer temperature will
rise very rapidly after you remove it from the
freezer.
Please remember each time the door is opened
cold air escapes and the internal temperature
rises. Therefore never leave the door open and
ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in
or removed.
