o Some organic solutions, such as the oils in lemon/orange peel and acid in
butter, can cause damage to the plastic parts contained inside of the
refrigerator.
o Do not open the refrigerator door too often or leave the door open for long
periods of time, as this will increase the temperature inside of the appliance
and will increase the energy usage.
o Meat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed on the glass
shelf above the salad drawer.
(Meat should only be stored in this manner for one or two days at the
most).
o Cold dishes/cooked food should be covered and can be placed on any shelf.
o Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned thoroughly and placed in the salad
drawer.
o Cheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers, or they can be
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags. As much air as possible should
be removed from the bags.
o Milk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the bottle shelf
that sits in the door.
o Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be stored in a
refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight containers.
SAVING ENERGY WHEN USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Installing:
o Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct sunlight or next
to an oven or other heat source, the energy consumption can increase
substantially.
o Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation requirements.
Restricting ventilation can increase the energy consumption by 15%.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
o Occasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of the
appliance to maintain a high performance level.
o Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent that leaves
no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to the efficiency of your
appliance.
Usage:
o Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you have to.
o Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree can effect
the energy consumption by 5%. Use a thermometer to check the
temperature.
o The refrigerator should operate at around 3 to 4 degrees Celsius.
o Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance (but don’t
let it sit at room temperature for too long).
o If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the appliance,
empty and clean it and leave the door ajar.
o If you have a second appliance that is not used, make sure that it is stored
with the power off and the door left ajar until it is actually required.
Disposing:
o If you're going to throw out your old fridge, see if there's a
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) recycler in your area. The government department
which looks after the environment in your area may be able to help you.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.
o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over
it.
o The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned periodically, using a
solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in
a dishwasher.
o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with
a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to
your mains supply.
The defrost drain hole
Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during
operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and
evaporates automatically.
o The drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the drain hole cleaner.
This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator,
instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
IMPORTANT: Please note that the drain hole cleaner should not be left in
position permanently. Otherwise this may prevent the defrost water from
entering the drain hole.
o You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean the
defrost drainage channel.
o You should be careful to make sure that food packages do not touch the
rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic defrosting
process and deflect water into the base of your refrigerator.
o Use a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water to clean the
evaporating tray.
IMPORTANT: It is normal to get some ice droplets forming on the back wall
of the appliance. The formation of ice droplets does not indicate an
appliance fault.
Replacing the light bulb
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB.
o Press the rear end of the bulb cover until the sides release and then lift the
bulb cover clear of the bulb.
o Change the present light bulb with a new one. The replacement bulb should
not have a greater rating than 15 W; (an E14 15 W bulb should be used).
o Replace the light cover and after waiting five minutes, reconnect your plug
to your mains supply.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read all the instructions and
make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the
rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your
home. The rating plate can be found on the front left edge of the
inside of the refrigerator.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer failing
to observe all the accident prevention regulations in force, which are
necessary for normal use and the regular operation of the electric system.
Electrical connection
YOUR REFRIGERATOR IS INTENDED FOR FITTED AND PERMANENT
INSTALLATION.
We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician,
who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply with the I.E.E. and
local regulations.
o Your refrigerator comes supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. If in future you
need to change the fuse in this plug, then a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362)
fuse must be used.
o The wiring in the mains lead is coloured as follows:
Brown Live
Blue Neutral
Green and yellow Earth
o As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur
box, please proceed as follows:
