Hints
Saving Energy
Pay careful attention to where the
cabinet is placed. See the section
ŇInstallationÓ. When installed
correctly the cabinet will consume
less energy.
Try to avoid keeping the doors open
for long periods or opening the doors
too frequently as warm air will enter
the cabinet and cause the compressor
to switch on unnecessarily often.
If the ambient temperature is high, the
thermostat knob is on the coldest
setting (higher numbers) and the
appliance is fully loaded, the
compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice to form on the
evaporator. If this happens, turn the
Hints for refrigeration
Do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator and do cover or
wrap up the food, particularly if it has a
strong smell.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly,
here are some useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb &
poultry):
wrap in polythene bags and
place on top of the salad compartment,
this being the coldest spot in the
refrigerator.
Meat can only be stored safely in this
way for one or two days at the most.
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.:
these should be well covered and can be
stored on any of the glass shelves.
Fruit & vegetables:
these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
bottom drawer/s.
Butter & cheese:
these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to keep out as much air as possible.
Milk bottles:
these should have a top
and should be stored in the bottle rack on
the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic,
if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
