MAINTENANCE
• The refrigerator should be cleaned and maintained
once a month with a soft clean cloth.
• When performing maintenance, make absolutely
sure that the power plug is first disconnected from the
power outlet.
• Wipe the inner and outer surface of the
refrigerator and its accessories with soft clean wet
cloth. If they are too dirty, scrub them with neutral
detergent, and then clean them with water and
dry them with a clean cloth.
• Never use hot water, petrol, alcohol, kerosene,
abrasive powder, alkaline detergent, acid, oven
cleaners, etc. These could damage the lacquer
finish and plastics.
• If the plastic parts in refrigerator become
contaminated by oil (animal or vegetable), they
could become brittle and possibly cracked.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. When the refrigerator does not work:
Check if there is a power failure.
Check if the power plug is plugged into the
power outlet.
Check that the R.C.D. has not been tripped.
If ambient temperature is above 40°C the Thermal
Safety Cut may have operated. Check if unit has
restarted once ambient temperature is below 30°C.
2. When the refrigerator is cooling excessively:
The temperature control dial may be set too high. If you
place drinks containing a lot of water directly under the
cool air outlets they may freeze. This does not indicate
a malfunction.
3. When the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently:
The drinks may be packed too tightly together which
will block the flow of cool air. You may have put
something hot or a lot of drinks into the refrigerator.
The door may not have closed properly. There may
be insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and
the other surfaces, both sides, back and above. The
temperature control dial may not be set low enough.
Daily ambient temperature may be excessively high.
Check there is no direct sun on front of fridge.
4. When condensation forms on the outside of the
refrigerator:
Condensation may form on the outside when the
humidity is high. This is the same result as the
condensation formed when chilled water is poured into
a glass. It does not indicate a malfunction. Wipe dry
with a cloth.
5. When you hear a sound like water flowing:
A sound like water flowing is the refrigerant flowing.
It does not indicate a malfunction.
6. When the cabinets side panel heats up:
The side panel of the cabinet will heat up when the
door is opened and closed frequently, when starting
the unit and when the unit operates in summer with
high ambient outside temperature. Do not touch the
side panel, it is a result of heat from inside the cabinet.
It does not indicate a malfunction.
