CARE AND MAINTENANCE
REFRIGERATOR EXTERIOR CARE
Use a dry cloth to dust off fret cloth fabric, very gently. Use a damp cloth for
metal surfaces.
FOOD STORAGE
Allow hot dishes to cool to room temperature before storing. Place food
items in proper airtight containers.
CAUTION
Failure to unplug the refrigerator before maintenance could result in
electrical shock or personal injury.
CLEANING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• It is recommended to clean your refrigerator monthly.
• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure
the power cord of the refrigerator is disconnected.
• Turn the temperature control to “0”, unplug the refrigerator and remove
the food, shelves and trays.
• Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda. The solution
should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior.
These cleaners may damage or discolour the interior.
DEFROSTING YOUR REFRIGERATOR (4.4 FRIDGE ONLY)
The defrosting of your refrigerator should take place whenever ice build-up
inside the chiller compartment reaches 1/4 inch (6mm) of thickness.
• Set the thermostat dial to “0” position.
• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Remove everything from the refrigerator during defrosting.
• Be sure the drip tray is in place!
• Leave the door partially ajar during defrosting to speed up the process.
Please Note: Water may drip out of the drip tray during the defrost
cycle. Keep a towel in the bottom of the fridge to contain any water that
overows the drip tray.
When the defrosting has been completed, empty the drip tray and dry the
inside of the refrigerator thoroughly.
Plug the power cord in again and set the cooling control as required. It
will take some time for the refrigerator to reach operational temperature.
Reload your refrigerator when the inside temperature has cooled again.
Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the chiller
compartment. The chiller compartment contains refrigerated gas lines that
if accidentally punched/pierced, will render the refrigerator inoperable and
void the manufacturer’s warranty.
POWER FAILURE
You should minimise the number of door openings while the power is off.
During power failures in excess of 2 hours, please take steps to protect
your food.
HOLIDAYS
For short holidays, leave the control knob at its normal setting. During
absences greater than three weeks:
1. Remove all food.
2. Disconnect the power cord from electrical outlet.
3. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly.
4. Leave the door open to avoid possible formations of condensate,
mould or odours.
IF YOU MOVE
• Remove all loose items inside the refrigerator.
• To avoid damaging the levelling legs, turn them all the way into the base.
• The refrigerator should be in the upright position during transportation.
• Tape the door if you judge necessary.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The refrigerator should be placed in the coolest area of the room; away
from heat producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Cool down food to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.
• Wrap food properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator.
• Organise and label food to reduce door opening and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon
as possible.
CHILLER COMPARTMENT (4.4 FRIDGE ONLY)
This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and short-term
storage (3-4 days) of some commercially frozen foods. The temperature in
this compartment does not get cold enough to freeze food safely for long
periods and works best when the food is already frozen.
The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build-up. This
part is not covered under your warranty. Defrost when ice builds up more
than 1/4inch (6mm).
CHANGING THE LED LIGHT BULB
1. Unplug the refrigerator. Be sure the unit power is OFF.
2. Open the door. Remove the clear plastic light cover.
3. Unscrew the LED light bulb in counter clockwise direction until it
becomes loose.
4. Once removed, install the new light and reinstall the cover.
5. Plug the fridge in again.
