Using the fridge

CONTROL
If the fridge is installed with the matching freezer,
use the link bracket to join the two appliances
together (Figure 15).
Before use, allow the appliance to stand for a few
hours to allow the cooling gases to stabilise after
installation.
Temperature control and adjustment
The internal temperature can be adjusted by
means of the thermostat control.
The temperatures obtained inside the appliance
could fluctuate depending on the operating
conditions, location, frequency of door openings
and volume of the food stored.
The setting of the themostat will depend upon
these conditions but generally, operating in normal
room temperatures of 25°C, set the thermostat
control in a mid-way position.
Avoid setting the thermostat control to a high
setting (lower internal temperature) as the
appliance will operate for long periods with some
drinks and fresh foods freezing and a build-up of
ice on the internal wall. This will decrease the
efficiency of the appliance and increase the power
consumption.

Suggestions on arranging
food in the fridge
Guidelines for obtaining storage and hygiene.
1. This appliance is for the short-term storage of
fresh food and drinks.
2. Dairy products should be stored in the egg/dairy
produce compartments provided in the door liner.
3. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight
containers and are best kept on either of the
removable shelves.
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the shelf.
Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and
stored in the crisper bins.
5. Bottles can be kept in the door section.
6. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and
place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow raw meat to
come into contact with cooked food, avoiding
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. This allows free circulation of cool air.
8. The shelves are easy moved. Lift shelf clear of
grooves when adjusting.
9. Do not keep vegetable oil on door shelves. Keep
food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow hot food
and beverages to cool before refrigeration. Do not
store explosive substances. High proof alcohol
must be stored upright in sealed containers. Tinned
leftover food should not be stored in the can.
