Drink dispenser
The container for cooling drinks (see fig.) is located in the door of the fridge. It is easily removed from its runners for filling and cleaning by pushing it upwards from the left side and then by pulling sharply outwards. Remove the clip on lid to fill.
To pour a drink, press a glass upwards against the tap arms. To stop the flow of liquid remove the glass.
If using the dispenser, we recommend that you rinse it several times with hot water. For thorough cleaning of the container add a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda to the rinsing water. Push the dispenser tap on and off several times to allow sugar deposits form soft drinks or wines to dissolve, or alternatively remove for cleaning by unscrewing in an anticlockwise direction. Empty the container and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
If using the dispenser to store fresh fruit juice, particular attention should be paid to the manufacturer’s storage instructions. It is also advisable to clean the dispenser thoroughly between every filling, using a sterilising solution.

The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible.
■Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
■Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible.
■Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.
■Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave food in a cool place in order that it can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).
■Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be in separate containers. Take care not to let the meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip, remove everything and clean thoroughly.
■Do not store food uncovered.
■Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean the interior (see “Maintenance and Cleaning”).
■Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
■Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped eggs.
■Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
■Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry them with a clean towel before handling food.
■Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contamination by not using the same work surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly in between.
