Hints

Saving Energy

¥ Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is

placed. See the section ÒInstallationÓ. When
installed correctly the cabinet will consume less
energy.

¥ Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long

periods or opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

¥ If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat

knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and
the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the
evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a
warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic
defrosting and so a saving in electricity
consumption.

¥ Do not place warm foods inside the appliance.

Allow warm foods to cool first.

¥ Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille

on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean.

Hints for refrigeration

¥

Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food,
particularly if it has a strong smell.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some useful hints:

¥ Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in

polythene bags and place on top of the salad
compartment, this being the coldest spot in the
refrigerator.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.

¥ Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should

be well covered and can be stored on any of the
glass shelves.

¥ Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer.

¥ Butter & cheese: these should be placed in

special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium
foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as
possible.

¥ Milk bottles: these should have a top and should

be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Maintenance

Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

cooling unit maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by authorised
technicians.

Defrosting

¥ Defrosting the refrigerator compartment is

automatic. The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a container at the back of the appliance,
above the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

¥ It is important to periodically clean the defrost

water drain hole.

D037

Cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your
appliance as it may get damaged.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as these will
damage the surface and leave a strong
odour.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a
year remove the ventilation grille at the base and
clean the air channels with a vacuum cleaner.
