12Care and cleaning

Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special draw- er(s) provided.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in alu- minium 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 on the door. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for temperature inside the fridge

A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5° C. When the temperature regulator is set to +5°C this represents the mean temperature in the fridge. It is normal with higher temperature in the top of the fridge.

If the temperature regulator is set to a cold tem-

 

perature, the ambient temperature is high or if

 

the fridge is fully loaded the compressor will run

A

for a longer time. It too cold, change to a higher

 

temperature setting.

 

Do not place food against or close to the temper- ature sensor. This can result in too cold tempera- tures.

If you want to check the temperature of food stored in the refrigerator, place a glass of water centrally in the cabinet, and put a proper ther- mometer with an accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. Af- ter 6 hours the temperature can be monitored. The measuring shall be performed under steady- stated conditions (without changing the load).
