Hints

Saving Energy

Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section
Installation. 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/s.
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.
