The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to obtain the best
results and storage hygiene.
1.The larder fridge is suitable for the short term storage of fresh food and drinks.
2.Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers.
3.Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and
vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the salad crisper bin.
4.Bottles can be placed upright in the door rack.
5.To store raw meat and fish place either on the lowest shelf or in the chiller
compartment (recommended). Do not allow to come into contact with cooked
food to avoid contamination. For safety, only store raw meat for two to three
days. Fish should be stored in the chiller compartment
6.Keep the food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages
to cool before placing them in the fridge. Do not store poisonous or dangerous
substances in the refrigerator. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in
sealed containers. Left over canned food should not be stored in the can.
7.Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0
degrees centigrade. Therefore wrap pineapples, melon, cucumbers,
tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags.
8.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.
9.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.
