Using the refrigerator
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.
Temperature display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).
Quick cool
The Quick cool function is suitable for quickly cooling large quantities of fresh food in the refrigerator.
The Quick cool function is switched on by pressing the Quick cool button "G".The yellow light
illuminates. The Quick cool function is ended automatically after a period of 6 hours.
The Quick cool function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the Quick cool button again.
The yellow light goes 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 & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad 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 in the bottom salad 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 on the door.
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.
