OPERATION
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appli- ance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or deter- gent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable, although the temperature will be affected by:
•Room temperature
•How often the door is opened
•How much food is stored
•Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stablise before making further changes.
Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cool- ing plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.
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.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with run- ners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.

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 materi- al, 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 & chicken or poul- try): 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 bin.

For more thorough cleaning, shelves can be removed, then refitted in their position. To make these adjustements proceed as follows:
top shelf (1): gradually pull in the direction of the arrows until it comes free;
middle shelf (2): turn it in the direction of the arrows until it comes free from the metallic crosspiece (4); bottle shelf (3): push on the buttons (b) until it comes free, then pull it in the direction of the arrow.
