[. . . ] Foods with different perishability can therefore be arranged on the shelves as you like, without having to take into account the different temperature zones which usually occur. The temperature on the shelf above the fruit and vegetable drawer is somewhat higher than the fridge temperature set. The example arrangement opposite shows possible ways of storing food. Do not place foods too closely in front of the vents at the rear of the appliance as the foods might freeze. In order to check the temperature in the refrigerator compartment you can carry out the following test yourself: 0 1. Place a cup of water in the centre of the said shelf with a thermometer inside. Leave the fridge door closed overnight and check the temperature first thing in the morning. At this point the temperature should read no more than 5 °C; if it does, you need to adjust the temperature control knob to a colder setting. For further information on keeping food cool and safe a guide published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is available and can be obtained free of charge by contacting: Foodsense, London SE99 7TT. Tel: 0645 556000 Tip: Food stored in the refrigerator compartment should always be covered or packed so that they do not dry out, lose their flavour, or transfer their flavour to any other refrigerated food. The following are suitable for packing: ­ polyethylene bags; ­ plastic containers with lids; ­ special plastic covers with rubber retainers; ­ aluminium foil. 18 To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator/freezer: · Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids. · Do not fill plastic containers for frozen foods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing. 20 Frozen Storage Warning!Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18 °C must be reached. · Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur. · Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods. 2 When possible store frozen goods separately according to type in drawers. Preparation of Ice Cubes 0 1. Fill ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water and place in the freezer tray or a drawer and allow to freeze. To remove the finished ice cubes twist the ice cube tray or hold under running water for a short time. Do not, under any circumstances, free an ice tray which is frozen to the appliance with pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a spoon-handle or similar object. Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar · The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. · The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content. 21 Defrosting The Refrigerator is Defrosted Automatically The rear wall of the fridge compartment covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off.
