Important
During prologed periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is seto on too high a number, the cooling system may operate con- tinuously and the fridge coolilng plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the thermostat knob to a higher number, however you should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic defrosting.
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 poly- thene bags and place on top of the salad drawers.
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 drawers. 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. For better use of space, the front
The door shelves
Depending on the use of the bottle shelf (3) the short shelf (2) can be adjusted in the direction of the arrow
(a).
For more thorough cleaning, shelves can be removed, then refitted in their position. To make these adjuste- ments proceed as follows:
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils below, to the cooling evaporator.
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.
