1. Using the appliance
Before you start using the
refrigerator check that:
1.
The feet have been adjusted
and the appliance is secured
to the cabinets plumb & level.
2.
The interior is clean, dry and air
can circulate freely.
See
‘
Cleaning and Care’
.
3.
Insert the plug into the wall
socket and switch on the
electricity supply. When the
door is open the interior light
will come on.
(*Ensure socket is accessible
after installation)
4.
As the compressor starts up
various noises may be heard.
The liquid and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system
may give rise to noise, whether
the compressor is running or
not. This is normal.
5.
We recommend that you set
the thermostat knob at 3 (three)
and monitor the temperature
to ensure the appliance
maintains the desired, safe
storage temperature. (c. 4°-5°C
normally)
6.
Do not load the appliance
immediately after it is switched
on. Wait until the correct
storage temperature has
been reached. (2-3 hours).
We recommend that you
check the temperature with
an accurate thermometer
periodically.
Temperature control and
adjustment
Operating temperature is
controlled by the thermostat
dial (see image). Setting 5 is the
coldest position.
The average fridge temperature
is recommended to be no higher
than +5°C, Initially set the dial to
3 and check the temperature
after 24hrs.
Some sections of the fridge are
warmer (e.g. the salad crisper and
the upper area) This is normal.
During summer the dial may need
to be turned colder.
Frequent door opening causes
loses cooling, so close the door as
soon as possible.
If excess ice develops turn dial to
a warmer setting until ice defrosts
and then return to normal setting.
Important Note:
Ice formation at the back is
normal during normal use.

DEFROSTING
The larder fridge defrosts automatically.
During defrosting water droplets will form at the back of
the larder fridge ,where the concealed evaporator is
located. Some droplets may remain on the rear liner and
refreeze when defrosting is completed.
The water from these droplets runs down a drain tube via
the collection channel at the rear wall (1). This water is
collected and evaporated in a special container at the
back of the appliance.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects, such as
knives, forks to remove any droplets which have
refrozen.
*Ensure foodstuffs and containers etc. do not contact
the rear wall as ice will form across and water will leak
into the refrigerator.
* 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 down the
drain tube.
