3. Cleaning
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly at intervals, as
necessary. Remove the shelves; these, the
cabinet interior and the door should be washed with a
warm solution of sodium bi-carbonate. Finally wipe
over with a cloth rinsed in warm water only, and dry
with a clean cloth. Do not wash any plastic parts in
water that is more than hand warm, and do not expose
them to dry heat. The outside of the cabinet should be
wiped down regularly with a clean, damp cloth.
NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS OR ABRASIVE
CLEANING MATERIALS ON ANY PART OF THE
CABINET.
4. Positioning the appliance
When first using this refrigerator please consider the
following points:
ENSURE REFRIGERATOR IS LEVEL
THE PIPEWORK AT THE BACK GETS HOT IN USE
THE REFRIGERATOR HAS NO 'MOTOR' AND IS
THEREFORE VIRTUALLY SILENT
ALLOW AT LEAST 3 HRS. FOR SIGNS OF
COOLING
During the refrigeration process, the appliance
gives off heat from the condenser (under the
upper part of the rear cover) into the
surrounding air. The more ventilated the condenser is,
the more effective the refrigeration will be.
The other condition for satisfactory operation is that
the appliance stands on a flat surface. This is best
seen by placing a glass of water on top of the
appliance.
It is important that the appliance is not directly
exposed to radiated heat (sunlight, radiator, near an
oven, etc.).
4.1. Installation instructions
The refrigerator is equipped with an electrically heated
absorption cooling unit which is virtually silent in
operation. The fridge is designed for free-standing
installation, but can be built-in if the following
conditions are complied with to ensure satisfactory
operation and maximum cooling efficiency.
1) The fridge must be level in both directions.
2) There must be an air duct at the back of the
housing to provide sufficient air-flow over the
cooling unit to carry away heat generated during
the cooling process. The entire cooling unit should
project into the duct and the air passing through
the duct must not be pre-heated by radiators,
T.V.sets or any other sources of heat.
Two refrigerators should not be built-in, one on top
of the other, unless separate air ducts are provided
for each.
3) When built-in, for future servicing requirements,it
must be possible for the refrigerator to be easily
removed, without damaging the fitment in which it
is housed.
These illustrations show different ways of building-
in a miniCool (fig 2-3).
With the refrigerator standing on a shelf -
Figure 2. The opening at the back for the passage
of air must be at least 105mm deep. This can be
achieved by using 105mm spacers at the rear of
the shelf, leaving an 105mm opening immediately
under the cooling unit. Alternatively, the shelf can
be supported on buttens at the sides, screwed to
adjacent fitments, or on legs, leaving a completely
unobstructed opening underneath the cooling unit
for the full width of the refrigerator, allowing
maximum air-flow.
If a ventilation grill is fitted at the top, it must have a
free space of at least 200cm
2
for the ventilating air
to escape.
If the inlet/or outlet openings at the bottom and top
of the duct are fitted with decorative grilles, the free
space through each grille must not be less than
200cm
2
so that the air-flow is not restricted.
During installation, please ensure the mains
plug is accessible at all times.
