Before first use
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda
and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior.
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.
Please note:
•
•
The appliance will work continuously until it gets down to the correct temperature.
If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary
damage to the compressor.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge.
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back
of the appliance.
Use
•
•
Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being
put into the refrigerator.
•
Nothing should rest against the internal rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible
condensation problems which will be difficult to remove.
Setting the temperature
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.
To adjust the temperature turn the thermostat control knob clockwise (from off) to the required level. The temperature
becomes colder the higher the number on the control.
Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power before any cleaning or maintenance.
•
•
•
•
The refrigerator section should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand using soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
The evaporating tray and water drain hole (at the back of the refrigerator compartment) should be cleaned
periodically to prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the refrigerator compartment. The drain
plug can be used to clear the drain hole.
•
•
Once cleaning is complete, reconnect the mains power supply.
If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left
slightly open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
