USING THE APPLIANCE

This appliance is designed for
domestic use only, specifically for the
storage of edible foodstuffs.

This appliance is designed to operate in
ambient temperatures (surrounding air
temperature) between 10°C (50°F) and 32°C
(90°F).
If these temperatures are exceeded i.e.,
colder or warmer, the appliance will not
operate correctly.

Before Use

Remove all securing tapes.
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm
water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml
to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or
detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the
appliance thoroughly.

Do not use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products, wax polishes or products
containing alcohol.

To Start the Appliance

1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after
installation.

2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the
mains supply.

3. Turn the thermostat control to the required
setting. A setting of 3 - 4 is usually suitable for
normal operation (see thermostat control).

4. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours
for the correct temperature to be reached
before placing food inside.

Thermostat Control

The thermostat control situated in the control
panel regulates the temperature of the larder
compartment. Thermostat control is marked from
1-6, the higher the number, the colder the setting.

Position 1 - Cold
Position 6 - Coldest

The temperature will be affected by:

Ambient temperature

How often the door is opened
How much food is stored
Position of the appliance

In determining the correct temperature control
setting, all these factors have to be considered
and some experimentation may be necessary

.

Do not allow children to tamper with the
controls or play with the product.

HINTS AND TIPS

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling
sounds when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the
cooling plate/evaporator.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round , and you will hear a
whirring sound or pulsating noise from the
compressor.

A thermostat controls the compressor, and
you will hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat
cuts in and out.

Food Storage

To obtain the best results from your appliance
neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.

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.

Keep the time between buying chilled food
and placing it in your fridge as short as
possible.

Do not push food together too much, try to
allow air to circulate around each item.

Do not store food uncovered.
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator

and clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.
