Operating the Appliance

Switching on the Appliance

• Allow the appliance to stand upright for a minimum of 4 hours before you switch it on.
• Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
• Set the thermostat control to the required setting as detailed in the Temperature Control section (3.2).
• Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached

Temperature Control

The temperature selector knob is located on the lamp unit inside the refrigerator (see Description of the Appliance on page 2).

• Setting “0”: Unit Off
• Setting “1”: Unit On – Warmest Temperature
• Setting “3 or 4”: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
• Setting “7”: Coldest Temperature
  

Important!
During high ambient temperatures e.g.on hot summer days, it may be necessary to set the thermostat to the coldest setting ( the” 7). This may cause the compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.

Storing& Freezing Food in the Freezer

This appliance has a four star freezer that is suitable for the long-term storage of frozen food items. It can also be used for freezing and storing fresh food items.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance. When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound or pulsating noise. The thermostat controls the operation of the compressor, and you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out.

Energy Saving Advice

• Do not install the appliance close to sourcesof heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool wellventilated room and make sure that the air vents are clear.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for a long time, warm air will enter the cabinet and may cause a build-up of ice as well as affecting the energy consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly.
• Ensure that the door seals are clean and there are no tears or splits.
• Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a shortshelf-life, such as cooked meats), in the coldest part of the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is the warmest part of your fridge and should be used for vegetables, salads and fruits etc. (see Description of Appliance on Page 2)
• Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the fridge cold gets blocked and pockets of warm air form.
• Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer? let it cool down first.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure, keep the doors closed. When the power has been restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating temperature. Check the condition of your stored food items and liquids.

Maintenance

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the interior 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.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. There may be sharp edges on the underside of the product, so care should be taken when cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance 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 increased energy consumption.

Defrosting

The fridge compartment will not automatically defrost itself. However, you will need to defrost the freezer periodically. Whenice build up in the freezer exceeds 3-5mm, empty the contents and switch off the appliance, leave the door open and allow the ice to melt.
Place the frozen foods items in a cool-bag or wrap them in thick newspaper. Do not use sharp objects to scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior, close the door and turn on the power to the appliance. When the power has been restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating temperature.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents, disconnect from the electricity supply and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar until you wish to use the appliance again.

Changing the Interior Light (Except Freezer compartment)

• Switch off the power supply to the appliance
• Remove the plastic light cover
• Remove the lamp from the light unit,
• Replace the lamp with a suitable replacement (1.5W)
• Refit the cover and switch the appliance back on.

What to do if something goes wrong

There is no power to the appliance:

• Check there is not a power cut
• Check there is power to the electric socket/appliance
• Check the fuse in the plug (Must be 13 amp)
• Check that the thermostat has been set to position 1 or above (see section 3.2.)

The compressor runs continuously:

• Are the doors closed correctly?
• Have large quantities of food recently been added to the appliance? if yes, allow the interior temperature to recover.
• Have the appliance doors been opened frequently?- if yes, allow the interior temperature to recover.
• Check that the Thermostat Control has not been set to maximum.

There is excessive frost/ice build up:

• Ensure that the doors have been closed correctly
• Ensure that the door seals are clean and sealing correctly
• Check that the Thermostat Control has not been set to maximum

The appliance is making a noise:

• Refer to Normal Operating Sounds, section 3.4
• Ensure that the appliance has been installed correctly (see section 1).

If after the above checks there is still a fault please contact your retailer.

Tips for saving energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment if available. The low temperature of the frozen food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will save energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered, the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy. Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller if available) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket.
