5.8 Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, observe the followings.
•
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
•
Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. Wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelves above the vegetable drawer.
•
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
•
Cooked foods, cold dishes should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
•
Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer
(crisper) provided.
•
Butter and cheese should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in tin foil
or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
•
Milk bottles should have a cap and should be stored in the door racks.
•
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the fridge.
6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
For hygienic reasons, the appliance interior (including interior
accessories) should be cleaned regularly.
Caution! Always disconnect the mains plug from the wall
outlet before cleaning.
Important! Never use detergent, solvents/abrasive products, sharp
objects or wire brushes for cleaning, as this will damage the finish.
6.1 Cleaning
1. Remove all interior accessories (e.g. shelves and drawers)
from the compartment of the appliance. Clean them with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap. Rinse with water and
dry thoroughly.
2. Clean the inside of the appliance with a damp cloth and some
neutral soapy water. Wipe with a warm damp cloth and then dry
thoroughly before replacing the accessories inside the appliance.
3. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft dry cloth. Never
use solvents.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they
are free from debris.
• Dust off the back of the appliance regularly. This will improve the
performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.
6.2 Defrosting
Due to seasonal changes, a thick layer of frost may form. To
defrost manually, unplug the appliance from the power supply,
then remove excess frost with a dry cloth.
Defrosting regularly helps to lower the energy consumption of the
appliance.
