REVERSING THE DOOR (OPTION)
How to reverse the door
- Remove the lower hinge by loosening and removing the screws with a screwdriver (2).
- Carefully lower the door and remove it.
- Remove the three screws from the left top hinge(1) position, and take the plastic part off the hinge position.
- Remove the three screws from the right top hinge and take off the hinge, insert the plastic part, rivet the three screws thereafter.
- Take off the lower hinge and fix it to the opposite side.
- Take the door. Insert the lower hinge axle into the right bottom hole of the door.
- Fix the spare hinge to the left top position of the cabinet. Adjust the door, and make it straight and in alignment with the cabinet.
Note: As the door gasket gets pressed in during shipment, after reversing the door the gasket might have to be reset. This will be good for the seal to avoid any air escaping. If there is a gap between the cabinet and the door gasket, set the gasket by gently pulling it out to seal the gap. If necessary, you are recommended also to use the hair drier to warm the gasket to get rid of the gap.
FOOD STORAGE
The freezer compartment is not intended for quick freezing of foods. It keeps food frozen. The fresh food compartment stores and cools food. For best cooling performance, air must circulate within the fresh food compartment. Do not cover the shelves with paper, plastic, etc. To reduce frost on the cooling fins, cover liquids, and moist foods. Do not place hot foods in the compartment, and do not leave the door open longer than needed. The door storage areas hold items such as 2-liter bottles, half-gallon milk cartons, pop cans, ketchup bottles, and other commonly used items. Allow the refrigerator to cool for 8 hours before loading foods. Loading a warm refrigerator with warm food increases the cool-down period. Never keep items in the refrigerator which might give off flammable gases. Never put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen food storage compartment as they may burst when freezing. Also, don’t give children ice lollies straight from the frozen food as they could cause frostbite. Most kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food compartment for about a month. This period of time may vary, however, and it is important to follow the instructions on the individual packets.
ICE-MAKING
Fill the ice tray just below the brim with drinking water and place it on the
freezer compartment. It is possible to make ice faster by turning the control
knob temporarily to its highest value but do not forget to turn it back to its
regular setting afterward as the refrigerator might otherwise become too cold.
DEFROSTING
Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces. It must not be
allowed to grow too thick as it acts as insulation and adversely affects
refrigerator performance. Check the formation of frost regularly every week
and when it gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator. To defrost the
refrigerator, turn it off and remove the ice tray and all food items.
Warning: normally the temperature of items of frozen foods would rise
unduly during defrosting and so they should be consumed within 24 h or
discarded. Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating
appliance, as this might damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator.
Neither should any sharp objects be used to scrape off the ice. The defrost
water runs through the drainage pipe to a receptacle at the rear of the
refrigerator where it evaporates. Defrost water in the freezer compartment
should be mopped up with a cloth. When all ice has melted, wipe the
refrigerator dry and restart it. Place the food items back inside but wait
until the refrigerator is cold before making ice cubes.
CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your absorption
refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in injury.
General: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these
chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your absorption refrigerator.
- Remove the contents of the appliance
- Wipe the inside and outside surfaces with a damp cloth. The addition of vinegar to the water is good for the prevention of mold and fungus.
- Wipe all parts thoroughly after the cleaning.
The cooling unit behind the refrigerator should be cleaned with a brush from time to time, but make sure that the refrigerator is switched off when doing this. The entire unit must be left for drying completely after cleaning with damp cloth .
CLEANING THE BURNER
