To adjust the drip tray lift itat the front and align it on the position required. US€ OF THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT (Fig. 9) All items stored in the refrigerator compartment should be wrapped in aluminium or plastic sheeting or kept in a covered container. This prevents food from becoming dry on the surface and stops strong smells and flavours being passed from one food toanother. The coldest section of the refrigerator compartment is in the bottom of the liner. Different foods are best stored in the positions indicated hereafter: Cooked foods, meats, jellies, etc. : these should be stored on the top grids, under the low temperature compartment. Meats, fruits, vegetables (sausages, fish, etc. ): these should be stored in the bottom of the liner or in the crisper. Eggs, cheese and dairy produces: these should be stored in the refrigerator compartment door. Canned food: once the canhasbeenopened, transfer unused food into a non-metallic container. Important: Do not place foodstuffs or containers against the rear wall. Store food so as to permit the free circulation of air. [. . . ] The temperature in the compartment is not cold enough. Check that: - the door is properly closed. -the thermostat is in the correct position. -the appliance is not too close to a heat source. [. . . ]
