Attaching the rear spacers
To help you keep the correct distance between the rear of your
Larder Fridge and the rear wall, two plastic spacers have been
included with your Larder Fridge.
These fit over the top coolant pipes at the rear of your Larder
Fridge as shown below.
Switching on your Larder Fridge
1 Before connecting the Larder Fridge to the mains supply make
sure that the thermostat control dial is set at position 0 which is
Off. This is located on the front of the Fridge above the door.
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 that the Larder Fridge is cool enough to sufficiently
chill your food wait 24 hours before filling with food.
Adjusting the temperature
The internal temperature of your Larder Fridge is controlled by a
thermostat. Position 4 makes the Larder Fridge coldest. Position 1
makes it warmest and 0 turns the Larder Fridge Off. The
recommended setting for the Larder Fridge is between 2 and 3.
The temperature of the Larder Fridge may not operate at the
correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or cold room or if
you open the Larder Fridge door often.
Noises inside the Larder Fridge!
If you have not owned a Larder Fridge 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 Larder Fridge.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant
around the system.
Is the Larder Fridge cold enough?
If you are at all concerned that you Larder Fridge 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 your Larder Fridge, 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 in your lunch hour!
Unless you have a Larder Fridge 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 levels 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.
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 Larder Fridge before
storing dry food-stuffs.

Tips for keeping food perfect in the
Larder Fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw
meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which
is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate around the Larder Fridge, ensuring
all parts of the Larder Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food!
To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, food should be
separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be
wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be properly cooled
Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put it in the
Larder Fridge. This will stop the internal temperature of the Larder
Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you
open the door. When returning from shopping, sort foods to be
kept in your Larder Fridge while the door is closed and only open
it to put food in or take food out.
Where to store your foods in the Larder
Fridge
Cool area
This is where to store foods
which will keep longer if they
are kept cool. Milk, eggs,
yogurt, fruit juices, hard
cheeses eg, cheddar. Opened
jars and bottles of salad
dressings, sauces and jams.
Fats, eg, butter, margarine,
low-fat spreads, cooking fats
and lard.
Coldest area: 0°C to 5°C
This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe
should be kept:
Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. ready meals, meat pies, soft
cheeses.
Pre-cooked meats eg. ham.
Prepared salads (including pre-washed chopped, pre-packed
mixed green salads, rice, potato salad etc).
Desserts, eg. fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers
or cream cakes.
Salad bin
This is the most humid part of the Larder Fridge.
Store vegetables, fruit, fresh salad items eg. unwashed whole
lettuce, whole tomatoes, radishes etc here.
Note:
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRODUCE KEPT IN THE SALAD BIN IS
WRAPPED.
NOTE:
ALWAYS WRAP AND STORE RAW MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH
ON THE LOWEST SHELF AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LARDER
FRIDGE. THIS WILL STOP THEM DRIPPING ONTO, OR
TOUCHING OTHER FOODS. DO NOT STORE INFLAMMABLE
GASES OR LIQUIDS IN THE LARDER FRIDGE.

Cleaning Maintenance
Cleaning inside the Larder Fridge
Switch off and unplug the Larder Fridge before cleaning the
inside. You should clean the Larder Fridge internally with a
weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm
water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe the Larder
Fridge dry before replacing the food. Plug in and switch on the
mains supply.
Condensation will form on the back wall of the Larder Fridge,
however it will normally run down the back wall and into the
drain hole behind the salad bin.
The drain hole will have a ‘cleaning spike’ inserted into it. This
ensures that small pieces off food cannot enter the drain. After
you have cleaned the inside of your Larder Fridge and removed
any food residues from around the hole, use the ‘cleaning spike’
to make sure that there are no blockages.
Levelling the Larder Fridge
Make sure the Larder Fridge is level. Use the rotating levelling feet
at the front. If the Larder Fridge is not level, the doors and
magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may cause you
Larder Fridge to work incorrectly.
Do Not Turn on the Larder Fridge for 2 Hours
After the Larder Fridge has been placed it needs to be left for 2
hours. This allows time for the coolant to settle.
Servicing
Repairs and maintenance of the appliance should only be
performed by an authorised, qualified technician.
Changing the internal light
1 Before carrying out the bulb replacement always switch off
and disconnect the electrical supply.
2 Snap off the light cover by pressing down on both the top and
bottom of the cover, at the same time pull the cover away from
the light housing.
3 Remove the old bulb by unscrewing it in an anti-clockwise
direction.
4 Replace with a new bulb (15w) by screwing it in a clockwise
direction making sure that it is secure in the bulb holder.
5 Replace the light cover and re-connect your Larder Fridge to
the electrical supply and switch on.
Cleaning the outside of the Larder
Fridge
Use standard furniture polish to clean the Larder Fridge exterior.
Make sure that the door is closed, preventing polish getting on the
magnetic door seal or inside on to the food. Do not use harsh
cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of your
Larder Fridge, as this may scratch the enamel.
Cleaning tips
Clean when food stocks are low.
NOTE Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to
clean any part of the Larder Fridge.
