VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

The main consideration when installing
a refrigeration product into a cabinet is
ventilation. The heat removed from the
appliance needs to be dissipated into the
room. Failure to correctly ventilate the
product can result in increased running costs
and premature failure. It will also invalidate
the guarantee provided with the appliance.

An air intake in the plinth is required to
allow for the correct air flow (recommended
500mm x 75mm). If preferred a decorative
stainless steel plinth grille is available, product
code: GRILL/SENSE600. This can be purchased
from your retailer or www.caple.co.uk.

To ensure the correct operation of the
appliance it is important the top of the
housing is not blocked off. The top of the
cabinet needs to be vented into the room,
the recommended minimum size of the vent
opening is 500x75mm.

There should also be space at the rear
of the cabinet to allow the cool air to be
drawn over the condenser. This should also
be at least 500mm x 75mm. The more air
available to circulate the product, the more
efficiently it will operate.

USING THE APPLIANCE

FROST FREE TECHNOLOGY

Frost Free refrigerators have a different
operating system to static refrigerators.

In normal (static) fridges, the humidity entering
the fridge due to opening the door, and the
humidity inherent in the food, causes frost
build-up in the freezer compartment.

To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer
compartment, you are required to periodically
switch off the fridge, place the frozen food in
a separate cooled container, then remove the
ice gathered in the freezer compartment. The
situation is completely different in Frost free
fridges.

A built-in fan blows dry and cold air
evenly throughout the cooler and freezer
compartments. The cold air disperses uniformly
between the shelves, ensuring all your food is
cooled equally, thus preventing humidity and
frost build-up. Therefore, your Frost free fridge
allows ease of use, in addition to its huge
capacity and stylish appearance.

FOOD STORAGE

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

- To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store
liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the
coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require
more frequent defrosting.

- Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool
at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in
the refrigerator compartment.

- Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as
frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door
frequently.

- We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the
glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the
best storage conditions.

- Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.

- Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables
(green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits
(banana, peach, apricot, etc.).

- Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.

- Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and
an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.

- To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and
vegetables. Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the
refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the
shelves.

- Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.

- Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. The
table on page 20 is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the
major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

- The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice
cubes.

- To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is
in contact with the cooling surface.

- Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.

- Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one
sitting.

- Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting

- Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.

- Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on food packaging when storing
frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more
than 3 months from the date of purchase.

- When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under
appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.

- Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the
freezer as soon as possible.

Instruction manual Ri7305

Please keep this instruction manual for future reference

19

- Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and
abnormal swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable
temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.

- The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat
setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time
required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the
instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.

- The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated on the appliance label.

- To use the maximum capacity of the freezer compartment, use the glass shelves
for the upper and middle section, and use the lower basket for the bottom
section.

NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will
find that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached,
the door will open easily.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

- Never refreeze thawed frozen food.

- The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (aniseed, watercress, vinegar,

assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, black pepper, etc.) changes
and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time.
Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice
should be added after the food has thawed.

- The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are

margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.

- Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should

be frozen in plastic or bags or containers. The table below is a quick guide to
show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer
compartment.

- Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash
accessories in a dish washer.

- Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year. This will help you to save
on energy costs and increase productivity.

NOTE: The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning.

DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

- Your refrigerator performs
automatic defrosting. The water
formed as a result of defrosting
passes through the water collection
spout, flows into the vaporisation
container behind your refrigerator and
evaporates there.

- Make sure you have disconnected
the plug of your refrigerator before
cleaning the vaporisation container.

- Remove the vaporisation container
from its position by removing the
screws as indicated. Clean it with
soapy water at specific time intervals.
This will prevent odours from forming.

• Do the food packages prevent closing
of the door?

• Are the door compartments, shelves
and drawers placed properly?

• Are door joints broken or torn?

• Is your fridge freezer on a level

surface?

Recommendations

• To stop the appliance completely,
unplug from main socket (for cleaning
and when the door is left open)

THE APPLIANCE PERFORMS POORLY CHECK IF:

- You have not overloaded the appliance

- The fridge temperature set to MAX

- The door is closed perfectly

- There is no dust on the condenser

- There is enough space at the rear and side walls for venitlation

WHY IS MY FRIDGE OPERATING LOUDLY?
CRACKING (ICE CRACKING) :

- During automatic defrosting.

- When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

SHORT CRACKING:

- Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/ off.

COMPRESSOR NOISE:

- Normal motor noise. This noise means that the compressor operates normally
Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.

BUBBLING NOISES:

- This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.

WATER FLOW NOISE:

- Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during
defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.

AIR BLOW NOISE:

- Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of
the system due to the circulation of air.

DOOR JOINTS

- If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm; especially in
summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during
the operation of the compressor, this is normal. If humidity builds up inside the
fridge freezer;

IS ALL THE FOOD PACKED PROPERLY?

- Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?

- Are the fridge freezeer’s doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in
the fridge when the door is opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you
open the door more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

IF THE DOORS ARE NOT OPENED AND CLOSED PROPERLY

- Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?

- Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?

- Are door joints broken or torn?

- Is your fridge freezer on a level surface?

RECOMMENDATIONS

- To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when
the door is left open)

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and
not near a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate
should be used.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.

3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of
the frozen food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is
thawing. This will save energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance
will result in a waste of energy.

4. Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left
uncovered, the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the
appliance uses more energy. Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps
preserve their smell and taste.

5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too
frequently as warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.

6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments ( such as the crisper
and chiller) closed.

7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
