Getting to know your Under Counter Fridge

Before use
Please read these instructions carefully before using your new Matsui
appliance. The appliance is for indoor and domestic use only.

Installation of your new Under Counter Fridge

Location

When selecting a position for your Refrigerator you should make sure the
floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room
temperature of between 12¡C and 32¡C. Avoid locating your refrigerator near
a heat source, eg. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in
outbuildings or sun lounges. If you are placing your Refrigerator in an annex
ensure that the Refrigerator is placed above the damp course, otherwise
condensation will occur on the Refrigerator cabinet. Never place the
Refrigerator in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets or furniture.
When your Refrigerator is working, the sides of the unit will become warm. It
must therefore be installed to allow sufficient air circulation, ensure that
there is a minimum air gap of 2cm (3/4"). Do not drape the Refrigerator with
any covering.

Moving the Appliance

Position your appliance in front of its final operating position and gentle slide
the appliance into position.
A minimum of two persons must be used to move the appliance.

Levelling the Under Counter Fridge

Remove the packaging support from the base of the
appliance and replace with the 2 levelling feet. Make
sure the appliance is level. Use the levelling feet at
the front. If the appliance is not level, the doors and
magnetic seal alignments will be affected.

Cleaning before use

Wipe the inside of the appliance with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda.
Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets
and shelves in warm soapy water and dry completely before replacing in the
fridge. The external parts of the fridge can be cleaned with wax polish. If you

Switching on your under counter fridge

1. Before connecting the appliance to the mains
supply make sure that the Thermostat Control Dial is
set at position OFF. This is located on the right inside
of the cabinet.

2. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to set it to the
desired position, bear in mind that the higher the
number, the colder the temperature.

3. To ensure the appliance is cool enough to
sufficiently chill your food wait 24 hours before filling
with food.

Adjusting the temperature

The internal temperature of your appliance is
controlled by a thermostat. Position 7 makes the
appliances coldest. Position 1 makes it the warmest
and 0 turns the appliance off. The recommended
setting for the appliance is between 1 and 4 for
colder working environments. (ie. during Winter)
and 5-6 for hotter environments. The appliance may
not operate correctly if it is in a particularly hot or
cold room or if the door is opened often.

Noises inside the under counter fridge!

If you have not owned an appliance before, you may
notice that it makes some rather unusual noises.
Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be
aware of them!

GURGLING, WHOOSHING

These noises are caused by the circulation of the
refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of
CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect
the performance of your appliance

Is the Appliance cold enough?

If you are at all concerned that your appliance is not
being kept cold enough, or you occasionally wish to
check the temperature, you can purchase a
Fridge/Freezer thermometer. These are available
from most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place
the thermometer in the coldest part of your appliance
(located at the back for the fridge, below the shelf),
where it can be easily read. Leave overnight; the
correct temperature should be between 0¡C and 5¡C.
See 'Adjusting the temperature'.

Shopping for chilled foods

Don't buy it in your lunch hour!

Unless you have an appliance at work to keep the food
cold in the afternoon, leaving food in your car or at
room temperature for a prolonged period of time could
raise food temperature to dangerous level allowing
harmful bacteria to grow.

Keep chilled foods together

Try to keep chilled food together whilst shopping and
on the journey home as this will help to keep the food
cooler.

HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING

This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps
the refrigerant around the system.

Use a cool bag

Special insulated bags can be bought from most
supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep food
cold for longer, but are only for getting chilled foods
home, not storing it.

Unwrap as soon as you get home

Always unpack and place chilled foods in the appliance
before storing dry food stuffs.
