Important Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance. This is a household appliance, which is produced in accordance with the national standard. It is intended for food storage only, not for storage of blood, medicine and biological products. To prevent risk of fire, keep the appliance away from petrol or any other inflammables.
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. The green power light on the control panel will be lit when you have plugged the appliance into the power supply.
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance. This fridge cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface; it then dissipates and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates harmlessly. The presence of frosting at the back is not a malfunction of the fridge. Fridge Use • Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered. • Never put hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save energy. • Only open the door for as long as is necessary. Leaving the door open for long periods will affect the temperature inside the appliance and waste energy. • Ensure all compartments are fully closed after use. Freezer Use • The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food. • Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer.
Setting the Temperature Both compartment temperatures are regulated by the same thermostat dial, which is found to the right of the control panel at the top of the door frame when the fridge door is open. The thermostat can be moved between 1 (least cold) and 5 (coldest). Thermostat settings: 1-2 For short term storage of food 3-4 For long term storage of food 5 For freezing fresh food. Once the food has been frozen, the thermostat should then be turned back to the required setting between 1 and 4.
Control Panel The control panel for the fridge has three lights (Fig. 1). A B C fig. 1 A. Orange Fast Freeze light This light is illuminated when the fast freeze function is on. B. Green Power light This light is illuminated when the power supply to appliance is on. C. Red Temperature Warning light This light is illuminated when the freezer compartment temperature is too warm.
Defrosting the Fridge The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water collected 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. fig. 2 Defrosting the Freezer Do not use heaters or defrosting sprays in this appliance. • Never use any metallic or sharp objects to remove the ice as this could damage the lining.
Care and Cleaning Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance. The fridge sections 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 with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
