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 or chicken): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the salad crispers. 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 crisper(s). 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.

Setting the temperature
The temperature within the appliance is controlled by the thermostat control knob situated at the top of the appliance. To operate the appliance proceed as follows: Turn the thermostat control beyond the «I» position. Position min = minimum coldness Position max = maximum coldness Turn the thermostat dial to the required position. The intermediate position is usually the most suitable. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors: � room temperature � how often the door is opened � how much food is stored � position of the appliance 4
Important
After completion of the door reversing operation, check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.
