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.

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.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Do not use detergents, abrasive

powders, highly perfumed cleaning

products, wax polishes or products

containing alcohol.

Larder Compartment

The correct temperature for safe storage of fresh food inside is 0oC to 5oC (32oF to 41oF). The warmest

part of the fridge compartment is at the top of the cabinet and the coolest at the bottom.

Storage Guide

Adjustable shelves

The larder compartment is fitted with shelves

which are adjusted for the storage of different

sized articles.

remove the shelves by tilting the shelf

downwards and pulling outwards.

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.

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.

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.

HINTS AND TIPS

Before any maintenance or cleaning work

is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance

from the ELECTRICITY supply

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water

and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,

highly perfumed cleaning products, wax

polishes or cleaning products containing

bleach or alcohol.

Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular

intervals and ensure that the drain hole is clear at

all times. If blocked carefully clear using a piece

of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain

outlet to remove the blockage.

Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to

ensure they are clean and free from debris.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.

Do NOT use abrasive products.

There are sharp edges on the underside

of the product so care should be taken

when cleaning.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black

grille) and the compressor at the back of the

appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an

accumulation of dust will affect the performance

of the appliance and cause excessive electricity

consumption.

To Change the Light Bulb

1. Switch off the appliance and disconnect

from the electricity supply.

2. Remove the light cover by first removing the

screw with a screwdriver.

3. Pull the cover outwards towards the roof of

the cabinet.

4. Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a new

15 watt E14 SES bulb (available from your

local Service Force Centre).

5. Replace the cover by engaging the top

locating lugs and press home.

6. Replace and tighten the screw.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Defrosting Your Appliance

The fridge compartment is defrosted

automatically. Defrost water from the cooling

plate runs out of the drain and onto a tray on

the motor compressor where it is evaporated.

this process is completely automatic. Droplets of

water on the cooling plate during defrosting are

quite normal and will freeze on the plate

afterwards.

When the Appliance is Not in Use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods

disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of

the food and clean the appliance, leaving the

door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
