Operation
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.
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.

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.
