[. . . ] For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door sheves can be easily removed and refitted in position. Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. see the section ÒInstallationÓ. When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption. Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean. Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints: Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad compartment, this being the coldest spot in the refrigerator. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. : these should be well covered and can be stored on any of the glass shelves. Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer/s. Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as possible. Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator. Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. Warning This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians. Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator. Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases, it needs more energy, at a certain thickness it does not allow the door of the frozen food compartment to open, possibly the door can be broken. At this type of appliance defrosting fresh food compartment is automatic without any external intervention. [. . . ] Positioning Unpack the cabinet and check that it is in good condition and free of any transport damage.
