Position 1 = minimum cold Position 6 = maximum cold Turn the thermostat dial to the required position; the intermediate position is usually the most suitable. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigerator compartment depends on the following factors: ­ room temperature ­ how often the door is opened ­ how much food is stored ­ position of the appliance Important If the refrigerator is not defrosting correctly, it is possible that because a very low temperature has been selected and the motor is working continuously, which prevents the defrost cycle from operating. To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should be selected on the thermostat and you should notice that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is correct. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time. Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal. Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage times indicated. Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy drink in the freezer as they may explode. Containers with a lid must not be filled to the brim. Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in the freezer next to food which is already frozen as this could cause the temperature of the frozen food to rise and its quality and storage life to reduce. 12 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 & game): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. [. . . ] Unlike a traditional freezer there is no build up of ice within the unit which can prolong the storage of food during these periods of low ambient. If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre, whose address can be found at the back of this manual, and also in your local telephone directory under «T». Please make sure you give the model and serial number of the appliance. This information can be found on the rating plate inside the fridge compartment on the left side behind the vegetable drawer, or on the guarantee certificate. [. . . ]
