Operation
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat
(beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry):
wrap in polythene bags and place on the lower wire
basket, above the bottom drawer.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one
or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables:
these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed at the back of the bottom drawer.
Butter & cheese:
these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles:
these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack at the front of the bottom
drawer.
The appliance has stops to prevent the wire baskets
from falling out when fully extended.
To remove the baskets (e.g. for cleaning purposes),
pull them out as far as the stops, lift and extract.
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or
detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat control knob with 6 temperature
positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
• Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored
• Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally hot
weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a
number, the cooling system may operate
continuously and the fridge cooling plate may
not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower
number will cause the automatic defrosting to
resume.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature,
turn the thermostat knob to a higher number,
however you should turn the setting lower
occasionally to allow automatic defrosting.

Store removable drawer
Fruit, vegetables and bottles should be placed in the
special bottom drawer provided.
It is equipped with a removable divider used as bottle
holder to prevent individual bottles from falling over.
Thereby various food can be stored clear and
separated. Storage conditions are equal in both
sections.
