Hints
Saving Energy
¥Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section ÒInstallationÓ. 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 knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.
¥Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.
¥Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge.
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 bins.
¥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.
