Do not store warm food or evaporating liq-
uids 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.
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.:
these should be well covered and can be
stored on any of the glass shelves.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thor-
oughly 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.

emperatur indicator
Thermostat must be Right Temperature
adjusted
With the temperature indicator you can keep
a check that your refrigerator is working prop-
erly.
The indicator shows the "OK" symbol when
the coldest area reaches a temperature that
is below or equal to 4ˇC.
If the temperature is higher than 4ˇC the indi-
cator is black so you must adjust the thermo-
stat to make the temperature drop.
ATTENTION: Keeping the refrigerator door
open for a long time will cause the internal
temperature to rise. To measure the tempera-
ture correctly, it should be read on the indica-
tor within 30 seconds.
