[. . . ] The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene. Fruit and vegetables Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the vegetable containers. However, you should bear in mind that some types of vegetables give off a natural gas which speeds up the rate at which food perishes. Some fruit and vegetables react strongly to this gas and should not be stored together. Examples of fruit which produce a large amount of this natural gas are: Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado pears and figs. Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are: Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, nectarines and peaches. Unpacked meats and vegetables Different types of unpacked meats and vegetables must be kept separate. To avoid any microbiological cross-contamination, these foods may only be stored together if they are wrapped. Protein rich foods Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others. Shell fish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat. Meat Meat should be stored loosely covered in suitable containers or packaging. Allowing the surface of the meat to dry slightly helps to prevent the growth of bacteria. To prevent the risk of bacterial cross-contamination meat should not be allowed to come into contact with other foods. 18 Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Raise the shelf at the front, pull it out half way, and then lift it out. ^ With the rear barrier facing upwards, place the shelf at the required position. The rear barrier must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it. Adjusting the door shelves ^ Push the door shelf upwards, then remove it by pulling it forwards. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position. Moving the bottle divider (depending on model) The bottle divider can be moved to the left or right to ensure that bottles are held securely in position when the door is opened and shut. Split shelf In order to accommodate tall items in the appliance, one of the shelves is divided. ^ Pull the front half of the glass shelf forwards slightly and then push it carefully under the rear half. 19 Automatic defrost Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator whilst it is in use. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance. Ensure that the condensate channel and drain hole are kept clean and are never blocked so that condensate can flow away without hindrance. 20 Cleaning and care Before cleaning Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear. Stainless steel surfaces can be buffed using a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel such as Neoblank (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department).
