5 Using your refrigerator TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT Operating temperatures are controlled by the setting knob (see diagram) located on the ceiling of fridge compartment. Settings may be made from min, 1 ... 6, max, max being the coldest position. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the setting knob should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We recommend you set the knob half way between the min and max setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i. e. towards max you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal. The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards max position. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer. Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed. If the ambient (room or garage) temperature is between 0 °C and -15 °C, we recommend you adjust the knob to setting 4 to reach -18 C in the freezer compartment. Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards max position. STORING FRESH FOOD Wrap raw meat and poultry loosely in polythene bags or aluminium foil. This prevents drying. Wrap fish and offal in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf.DairyWrap cheese firstly in greaseproof paper and then in polythene bag excluding as much air as possible. For best results take out of the fridge compartment an hour before eating. Wrap bread well to keep it fresh.Fruit & vegetablesTake off any unusable leaves on vegetables and wipe off any soil. Leave lettuce, cabbage, parsley and cauliflower on the stem. Wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags as these types of produce may suffer damage if kept at very low temperatures. Wrap food, which has a strong odour, or can dry out, in polythene bags, aluminium foil, or place in an airtight container. 13 EN
