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. When first switching the appliance on the fridge will default to 5°C and the freezer to -18°C.
Use Fridge • 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 rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation problems which will be difficult to remove. • Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.
Freezer • 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. • Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should not be stored for more than three months after the purchase date. • Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg).
Storage The fridge section is for short term food storage. Although the temperature can be maintained between 0-10˚C, extended periods of food storage is not recommended. As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary between the different sections. As such, foods should be stored in different sections according to type. Section 6 is the coldest part of the fridge. 1 1. Butter 2. Food in jars and bottles 3. Drinks, e.g. milk 4. Cooked food 5. Yogurts and cheese 6.
Control Panel A B C D E Fig. 3 A. Refrigerator Button This button is used to adjust the fridge temperature between 2°C and 10°C in 1°C increments. To change the temperature setting, press this button once so the display shows the set temperature and flashes. While it is still flashing, press this button several times until the required temperature is shown on the display.
C. Freezer Temperature Display In normal running this shows the actual temperature in the freezer compartment. If the temperature in the freezer is higher than 0°C this will flash, otherwise it will be static. See below for how this display is used in setting the freezer temperature. D. Super Freeze Display The super freeze function can be used to freeze large quantities of fresh food as quickly as possible. Fig 3 shows how this display looks when the super freeze is switched on.
After changing the temperature setting, the time taken to achieve the new temperature will depend on how big the change is from the previous setting. Switching On and Off When the fridge freezer is connected to a power supply it will automatically switch on. It may be switched off without disconnecting the power supply by pressing and holding the refrigerator button (A) and the freezer button (E) at the same time for approx. five seconds.
Care and Cleaning Drain Plug Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance. The fridge and freezer 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 a mild solution of washing up liquid and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher. Water Outlet fig.
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 using the cleaning tool supplied. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of the appliance and dissipated by evaporation. Defrosting the Freezer Do not use heaters or defrosting sprays in this appliance.
the freezer compartment. • The freezer 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 drawers separately by hand with a mild solution of washing up liquid and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher. • Once cleaning is complete, reconnect the power.
Troubleshooting If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check the troubleshooting prior to calling CDA Customer Care to prevent unnecessary service calls and potential cost. If the appliance is not working • Check there is power to the appliance. • The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown. • The on/off switch is not set to off. • The plug socket is functioning fine. To check this, plug another electrical appliance in to see if the socket is faulty.
There is water in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment • The drain hole in the channel at the back of the compartment is clear. Ice has formed on the back wall of the fridge • It is normal for some ice droplets to form on the back wall of the fridge. This does not constitute a fault with the appliance. • Ensure that no items inside the fridge are in contact with the back wall.
Installation and Ventilation fw852 This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources, e.g. heating elements, cookers or in damp places. • To ensure the appliance is level, you should use the height adjustable feet at the front of the appliance. • The cooling system at the rear of the appliance must not touch the rear wall. • The appliance must be installed with adequate ventilation.
Ventilation The main consideration when installing any refrigeration unit into a fitted kitchen is ventilation. The heat removed from the cooling compartment needs to be dissipated into the atmosphere. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure, excessive power consumption and total system failure. For products intended to be installed into a tall housing unit, the following requirements need to be met: Important Please follow the instructions to install this unit.
The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct operation of the appliance it is important that the top of the housing unit is not blocked off. A channel depth of 40-50mm is normal with most units. A hole is shown in the base shelf of the unit; this allows air to be drawn over the compressor & heat exchange. Some installers fit a decorative plinth vent. In most cases this is not required, but is a welcome aesthetic addition.
Mounting the Fascia Doors • P osition the appliance within the unit. Ensure that there is a gap of 3 to 4mm between the non-hinged side and the cabinet wall. • Locate the slider in the bracket and fix the slider to the fascia door 20 to 22mm from the edge of the fascia as shown in figure 8, ensuring that the slider is positioned centrally and horizontally within the bracket. Tighten securely by hand. • Fill the gap on the non-hinged side with the seal strip provided, as shown in figure 9.
Reversing the Doors We recommend you seek the help of another individual to support the doors whilst performing this operation. 1. Carefully prise off the cover cap for the top hinge and unscrew the screws fixing the top hinge to the appliance, you should support the upper door whilst doing this. 2. Carefully remove the upper door and place it somewhere safe. Note that there are spacers between the door and the hinge; note how many and their position. 3.
Ensuring the door seals correctly: It is normal for the seal to be compressed after the door has been reversed. With the door closed, use a hair dryer to expand the seal and fill the gap between the door and the body of the appliance. Take care not to use the hair dryer too close to the appliance, which could damage the seal. A distance of approximately 10 cm should be adequate. When completed, allow the seal and door to cool before touching them. Once done, the seal will remain in position.
3. Replace fuse cover. Important: Do not use the appliance without the fuse cover in position. How to connect an alternative plug If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then it should be cut off and disposed of safely to avoid possible shock hazard. A suitable alternative plug of at least 13 Amp rating to BS 1363 should be used.
