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 on top of 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.
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 ÕclickÕ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
