3. Cleaning

Clean the refrigerator thoroughly at intervals, as

necessary. Remove the shelves; these, the
cabinet interior and the door should be washed with a
warm solution of sodium bi-carbonate. Finally wipe
over with a cloth rinsed in warm water only, and dry
with a clean cloth. Do not wash any plastic parts in
water that is more than hand warm, and do not expose
them to dry heat. The outside of the cabinet should be
wiped down regularly with a clean, damp cloth.

NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS OR ABRASIVE
CLEANING MATERIALS ON ANY PART OF THE
CABINET.

4. Positioning the appliance

When first using this refrigerator please consider the
following points:

ENSURE REFRIGERATOR IS LEVEL

THE PIPEWORK AT THE BACK GETS HOT IN USE

THE REFRIGERATOR HAS NO 'MOTOR' AND IS
THEREFORE VIRTUALLY SILENT

ALLOW AT LEAST 3 HRS. FOR SIGNS OF
COOLING

During the refrigeration process, the appliance

gives off heat from the condenser (under the
upper part of the rear cover) into the surrounding air.
The more ventilated the condenser is, the more
effective the refrigeration will be.

The other condition for satisfactory operation is that
the appliance stands on a flat surface. This is best
seen by placing a glass of water on top of the
appliance.

It is important that the appliance is not directly
exposed to radiated heat (sunlight, radiator, near an
oven, etc.).

4.1. Installation instructions

The refrigerator is equipped with an electrically heated
absorption cooling unit which is virtually silent in
operation. The fridge is designed for free-standing
installation, but can be built-in if the following
conditions are complied with to ensure satisfactory
operation and maximum cooling efficiency.

IMPORTANT

Please follow the installation details below
carefully Guarantee is valid for products installed
as described only.

1. The refrigerator must be le

vel both directions

2. There should be 20mm clearance to the wall

Figure 2.

6

3. Ventilation must be provided as shown in

alternatives A, B, C or D (fig 2-3)

4. The ventilation duct must at least measure

105mm x the width of the refrigerator

5. Only

the entire cooling unit must project into

the duct as shown

6. Air passing thr

ough the duct must not be

preheated by any source of heat

7. Ventilation grills, if used, must have openings

of at least 200cm2 each

During installation, please ensure the mains plug
is accessible at all times.

5. Using the appliance

To start the refrigerator connect the plug to the socket
outlet and switch on the socket. The cooling fins
should show signs of cooling after about 3 hours.
The refrigerator needs about 6 hours at normal
ambient temperature to reach 6 °C in the storage
compartment.

5.1. Temperature regulation

The usual setting required is in the region of 4 to 5 on
the thermostat knob (Fig. 4), but this can vary with
conditions of load and installation. If it is found
necessary to alter the setting,the knob can be turned
to a higher number to produce a colder temperature,
or a lower number to produce a warmer temperature.
The effect of any adjustment can be checked by
means of the thermometer after leaving the
refrigerator operating for a further period to settle
down again.

6. Changing the feet

Should you wish to install your Health Care refrigerator,
you will not need the 40-mm feet. After having removed
the 40-mm feet, you can then re-attach the 12-mm
feet, located inside the 40-mm feet, to the front and
rear fixing points. The 40-mm feet and the 4 remaining
screws should be retained for future use.

7. Thermometer (Fig. 5)

Refer to the separate instruction leaflet supplied with
the thermometer. The thermometer can be stood up
using the attached stand or alternatively it can be fixed
to the refrigerator door, in which case the sensor wire
should be arranged so that it is not stretched or
damaged when the door is opened.
The temperature sensor is located inside the
refrigerator below the bottom shelf.
The display will then show the current, maximum and
minimum temperature
inside the refrigerator.
After the first pull down of the refrigerator (allow four
hours) please make a "reset" on the thermometer
because otherwise it will keep as "maximum" the
ambient temperature.
It is important to re-set the thermometer regularly to
ensure that the temperature is maintained between
2°C and 8°C.
The temperature readings may rise temporarily after
opening the door or placing additional items inside the
cabinet.
If applicable the battery transit strip must be removed
to activate the temperature display.

8. Useful suggestion

Do not overfill the appliance. It is advisable to leave
some space between the products in the cabinet to
ensure efficient and even cooling. If the shelves are
packed too tightly there may be unacceptable
temperature variations.

9. Defrosting, cleaning and
maintenance

Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it
must not be allowed to become too thick since it acts
as an insulator and interferes with the cooling.
To defrost, disconnect the refrigerator from the
electricity supply and leave the cabinet door open.

The frost will melt and the defrost water will run
through the drain tube from the drip channel into an
evaporating vessel located at the bottom rear of the
refrigerator. (Fig. 6) The defrost water will evaporate
automatically into the circulating air and the vessel will
not need emptying manually.

10. Customer service

Before you call a service engineer, carry out the
following simple tests:

Is there a power failure? Check the fuses.

Is the plug firmly connected to the socket and is the
socket switched on? Check the socket by plugging
in another appliance, e.g. a table lamp.

Is the thermostat at the correct setting? (normally 3
or 4).

Has the door not been closed properly causing the
inside temperature to rise too quickly?

Is the refrigerator level?

Has the ventilation become obstructed?

If after checking all the above points, the refrigerator
is still not working satisfactorily, contact your nearest
service engineer. State the problem, model, product­and serial-number.
(Details of the model, product- and serialnumber are
to be found on the data label in the top left of the
inside compartment.)
This refrigerator is equipped with overheating
protection. An authorised service technician can
check whether this has been triggered or not.
In the event of a fault developing, contact your
nearest Service Centre-see local telephone directory.

information

The appliance does not contain any CFCs/HCFCs.

Ammonia (natural hydrogen and nitrogen compound)
is used as a refrigerating agent in the refrigeration unit.

The ozone-friendly cyclopentane is activated as a
motive agent for the PU foam insulation.

Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protection
(less than 2 weight % of the coolant).

13. Recycling

After unpacking the appliance, the packing materials
should be delivered to a local collection site. At the
end of its useful lifetime, the appliance should be
delivered to a specialised collection and reprocessing
firm, which reclaims the usable materials. The rest is
properly destroyed.
