Operation
Arranging and storing food in your refrigerator
•
Some organic solutions, such as the oils in lemon/orange peel and acid in butter,
can cause damage to the plastic parts contained inside of the refrigerator.
•
Do not open the refrigerator door too often or leave the door open for long
periods of time, as this will increase the temperature inside of the appliance.
•
Meat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed on the glass
shelf above the salad drawer.
Meat should only be stored in this manner
for one or two days at the most.
•
Cold dishes/cooked food should be covered and can be placed on any shelf.
•
Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned thoroughly and placed in the salad
drawer.
•
Cheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers, or they can be
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags. As much air as possible should
be removed from the bags.
•
Milk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the bottle shelf that
sits in the door.
•
Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be stored in a refrigerator if
they are stored in airtight containers.
Saving energy when using your refrigerator
Installing
•
Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct sunlight or next to an
oven or other heat source, the energy consumption can increase substantially.
•
Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation requirements.
Restricting ventilation can increase the energy consumption by 15%.
Cleaning and maintenance
•
Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent that leaves
no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to the efficiency of your
appliance.
Usage
•
Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you have to.
•
Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree can effect the
energy consumption by 5%. Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
•
The refrigerator should operate at around 3 to 4 °C.
•
Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance (but don’t let it
sit at room temperature for too long).
•
If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the appliance, empty
and clean it and leave the door ajar.
•
If you have a second appliance that is not used, make sure that it is stored
with the power off and the door left ajar until it is actually required.
