SUGGESTED ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER
Arrangement Examples (See diagram)
1. Frozen food, rapid cooling of
beverages, making ice cubes,
freezing food.
2. Baked, chilled cooked food,
dairy products.
3. Beverages, dairy products, cans.
4. Meat, sausages, cold cuts.
5. Fruit, vegetables, salads.
6. Butter, cheese.
8. Small bottles, cans, tubes.
9. Beverages, large bottles.
The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to obtain the best
results and storage 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. Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers.
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and
vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.
5. Bottles can be placed in the door section.
6. 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.
7. For maximum efficiency, the removable shelves should not be covered with
paper or other materials thus allowing free circulation of cool air.
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. High
proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Left over canned
food should not be stored in the can.
9. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water ices
should not be consumed too cold.
10. 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.
11. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, dairy compartments, drawers, baskets trays, flaps,
bottle grippers are all removable.
12. Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost
food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting
food or food juices drip onto other food.
13. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material
before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface.

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.
