Before you start using the refrigerator check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely.
3. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
When the door is open the interior light will come on.
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the
compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the
manufacturing process used, so do not worry, it is not a defect.
7. We recommend that you set the thermostat knob at 3 (three) and monitor the
temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures
(See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct
storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the
temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment).
Important Note :
Ice formation at the back is normal, do not worry. (See Defrosting)
DEFROSTING
The larder fridge defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water runs to
the drain tube via a collection channel
and is evaporated in a special container (1)
at the back of the appliance (see diagram).
During defrosting water droplets may form
at the back of the larder fridge where
concealed evaporator is located. Some
droplets may remain on the liner and
refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do
not use pointed or sharp edged objects
such as knives, forks to remove the droplets which have refreezed.
If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check
to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can
be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube
(2).
