INSTALLATION

Cleaning Before Use

Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm

water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves

and salad bin. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.

If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.

Before Using Your Unit

Before placing any food in your unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is

working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not

be overlled.

• Before Plugging in YOU MUST

Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with

the unit.

• Before Turning On!

Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant uid needs

time to settle.

Operation

Switching On Your Unit

1. Connect the mains cable to the mains

socket. The internal temperature of your

unit is controlled by a thermostat. There

are ve settings, of which position 5 is

the coldest and position turns the unit

o.

2. Adjust the thermostat control dial

to the desired position, bear in mind

that the higher the number, the lower

the temperature. Position 3 is the

recommended setting when operating at

normal room temperature (between 16°C

and 38°C).

3. The unit may not operate at the correct

temperature if it is in a particularly hot or

a particularly cold room, or if you open

the doors often.

4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to

suciently chill your food, wait 24 hours

before lling it with food.

5. If you are concerned that your unit

is not being kept cold enough and

wish to check the temperature, you

will need a special fridge/freezer

thermometer. These are available from

most supermarkets and hardware shops.

Place the thermometer in either the

fridge or freezer compartment and leave

overnight. The correct temperature for

the fridge compartment should be an

average of 5°C.

Adjusting the Temperature

The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. Positions 1-3 for short term

storage, position 4-5 for long term storage.

Noises Inside the Unit!

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,

but you should be aware of them!

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 aect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the

refrigerant around the system.

Tips for storing food in the fridge and reducing food waste

• Cooked meats/shes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/shes to avoid

bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/shes in a container which is large enough to collect juices

and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the fridge

compartment.

• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all

parts of the unit are kept cool.

• To prevent transfer of avours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and

vegetables do not need to be wrapped.

• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain

the internal temperature of the unit.

• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the

doors. We recommend that you only open the doors when you need to put food in or take

food out.

• 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 sh 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.

• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.

• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green

leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being aected by ethylenereleaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot,

g 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 ow passage.

Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
