6. Helpful Hints
• Pre-chill the fridge before use.
• On particularly hot days raise the insulated divider by +/-20mm to allow the cold air
quicker access to the fridge section of the cabinet.
For maximum efficiency:
• Regularly rotate contents of fridge particularly when operating as a freezer.
• Keep fridge as full as possible, ideally the freezer section should be at least 50% full.
• Use the baskets provided to ensure air circulates freely in the cabinet (the baskets also
protect the cooling plate from potential damage).
• Keep the cover on the freezer section.
• Refrain from unnecessary opening of the fridge.
• Ensure the air vents are not obstructed so as to allow maximum air flow.
• Avoid placing hot or warm goods in the freezer.
7. Care & Storage
Defrosting
• Switch off freezer and open lid.
• Open drainage bung on RF models to drain waste as fridge defrosts.
• A jug of warm water may be poured over the evaporator plates and inside of the cabinet
to assist cleaning. (DO NOT FLOOD OR FILL THE CABINET WITH WATER.)
•
DO NOT
use sharp objects when cleaning and defrosting your EvaKool. Keep your
EvaKool clean by wiping both the interior and exterior with a damp cloth using a mild
non-abrasive household detergent and dry thoroughly.
• Ensure fridge is completely defrosted and dry before turning back on.
• Always clean the fridge after use and before storage.
Storage
• When storing your EvaKool for any lengthy period prop the lid open a few millimetres
and remove the bung cap to prevent the build-up of mould or odours. Spray interior, if
necessary, with a food grade anti-mould/odour product.
• We recommend that your fridge is operated at regular intervals, ie. for 24 hours once a
month, if it is being stored for any length of time. Remember your EvaKool can be used in
the home as an additional fridge or freezer by using your EvaPower AC adaptor. (see page 4).
• Store out of direct weather for a long lasting product.
•
WARNING:
Do not place your AC adaptor or any electrical equipment inside your fridge
as condensation and moisture will cause the electronics to fuse or burn out, voiding the
warranty.
