Important During prologed periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is seto on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously 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.
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.
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 polythene 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 runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired. For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie over the rear ones (see fig.).

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 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. 1
