Turning up the thermostat control will speed up the freezing process, but remember to turn the thermostat control back to its original position. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length. 7 Storage Shelves The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow storage of large items. To allow the air to circulate within the fridge compartment do not cover the wire shelves with paper or trays. Do not store food uncovered. Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance. Energy Saving Advice Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the cabinet are not obstructed. Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods, or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. It is advisable to periodically clean the refrigeration system at the back of the appliance with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
