Shut the door!
To prevent cold air escaping, limit the number of times you open the door. When returning
from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your larder fridge while the door is closed.
Where to store your foods in the larder fridge
.
Coldest area: 1°C to 5°C
This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk, yogurt, fruit
juices, hard cheeses eg. cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of salad dressings, sauces and jams.
Fats, eg, butter, margarine, low-fat spreads, cooking fats and lard. Eggs
Storage area
This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept. Raw and uncooked
foods should always be wrapped.
• Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. ready meals, meat pies, soft ,cheeses.
• Pre-cooked meats eg. ham.
• Prepared salads (including pre-washed chopped, pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato
salad etc).
• Desserts, eg. fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers or cream cakes.
Crisper Drawer
This is the most humid part of the larder fridge. Vegetables, fruit, fresh salad items eg,
unwashed whole lettuce, whole tomatoes, radishes etc.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRODUCE KEPT IN THE SALAD BIN ARE WRAPPED.
Cleaning your fridge
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket, open the door and remove all the food to a cool
place.
Use a solution of lukewarm water and a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda with a soft cloth to
clean the internal cavity and dry well.
Remember to clear the defrost drain situated at the back of the cabinet just above the crisper
drawer. After cleaning re-insert the mains plug.
Make sure that no water enters the thermostat control box inside the fridge cavity.
We recommend that you polish the metal parts of the product (i.e. door exterior, cabinet
and sides), with a silicone wax (car polish) to protect the high quality paint finish.
Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
