Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows
until it comes free, then reposition as required.
For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door
sheves can be removed by pulling them in the
direction of the arrows, then refitting them in position.
HINTS
Hints for refrigeration
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some useful hints:
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 thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer.
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.
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.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
the maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further
food to be frozen should be added during this
period;
only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned, foodstuffs;
prepare food in small portions to enable it to be
rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required;
wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene
and make sure that the packages are airtight;
do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter;
lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones;
salt reduces the storage life of food;
water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt;
