Using the refrigerator
The temperature of this compartment may be regulated between +2°C and +8°C.
During normal functioning the indicator shows the temperature inside the fridge.
Attention!
A difference between the temperature displayed and the actual temperature is normal. Especially when:
•A new setting has recently been selected
•The door has been left open for a long time
•Warm food has been placed in the compartment.
Normal operating sounds
•You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
•When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
•A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
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 & wild fowl): wrap in polythene bags and place in the meat drawer above the salad crispers.
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 in the bottom salad crispers.
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 on the door.
Quick chill shelf
The Quick Chill Shelf can be placed in one of the upper grooves.
To maintain the best performance the shelf should be placed in the second groove from the top.
Bottle and can holder
The side of the bottle and can holder is moveable to enable a more flexible placement of cans and bottles in front of the grid.
To allow the holder to be moved easier when moving sideways, press the shelf backwards.
The bottle support can be pulled out when chilling larger bottles.
