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.).
Please do not place the refrigerator onto thick
carpet!
4.1. Installation instructions
This version is supposed to be freestanding. Cooling
unit room cover protects from the hot parts of the
cooling unit. Foot frame with grilles ensures sufficient
ventilation.
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 1-2 hours
depending on ambiant temperature.
5.1. Initial operation
The device must be plugged into a properly earthed
socket.
The miniCool starts automatically with a self-test.
The LED illuminates after plugging-in several times
and after that continuous light can be seen if the
door is open.
The miniCool achieves its operating temperature
after several hours.
5.2. Temperature regulation
The usual setting required is in the region of the
middle of the thermostat knob (Fig. 6), 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 symbol to produce a colder
temperature, or a lower symbol to produce a
warmer temperature. The effect of any adjustment
can be checked by means of a thermometer after
leaving the refrigerator operating for a further
period to settle down again.
Figure 3.
6. Thermometer (Fig. 4)
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 in the upper left corner in front of the
evaporator.
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.
If you find lower than +2 °C or even negative
temperature as a minimum on the screen, it must
have occured due to a cutout in the electrical
circuit. In these circumstance's the electronic
thermostat will make a restart and start to cool
down the refrigerator, without monitoring the
refrigerator for 45 minutes. If you reset the
thermometer again (1-2 hours later) and the normal
+2 ... +8 °C is shown then you can be sure that the
medincines have not been damaged or frozen.
The more medicines you store in the refrigerator
then reduces the hazard of freezing, if the unit has
a short period of time undercooling.
We take no responsibility for damage to
vaccines through freezing, if there has been a
cutout in the electricity for a short period of
time.
It is important to reset the thermometer regularly to
ensure that the temperature is maintained between
2 °C and 8 °C.
6
The temperature readings may rise temporarily after
opening the door or placing additional items inside the
cabinet.
On the thermometer the battery transit strip must be
removed to activate the temperature display.
Figure 4.
7. 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.
8. 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.
We recommend to defrost the appliance in every 3
weeks, or depending on the ice quantity on the
cooling fins. While defrosting the appliance should be
switched off by disconnecting 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 5.)
After defrosting the cabinet interior should be wiped
out with a clean, damp cloth.
Figure 5.
9. Interior light
Two light-emitting diodes (A) on an electronic PCB
illuminate the cooling compartment when the door
is opened.
Two sensors (B) control whether the door is open
or not and the LEDs will work accordingly.
Figure 6.
10. Reversing the door hang,
(Fig. 7-8.)
Disconnect at the mains.
Lay the appliance on its side.
Loosen up 7 screws (1) of footframe and remove
the footframe.
Put the fridge on a desk to ease the work.
Open the door and snap out the fixing tab (2) of
the upper hinge pin by the help of screwdriver
and push out the pin. (fig. 8.)
Remove the door and the hinge washer.
Remove the bottom hinge pin (3) and the upper
and lower hinge plug (4) in the same way as in
case of the upper hinge pin.
Snap in the lower hinge pin (3) to the desired
side.
Put back the door and the hinge washer and
snap in the upper hinge pin (2).
Snap in the 2 hinge plugs (4) too.
Put back the footframe with its screws.

reverse sequence.
12. 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?
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.
