SUGGESTED ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD IN THE LARDER FRIDGE

Arrangement Examples (See diagram).

1. Baked, chilled cooked food, dairy products.
2. Meat, sausages, cold cuts, cans.
3. Fruit, vegetables, salads.
4. Tubes, small bottles and cans.
5. Egg tray.
6. Butter, cheese, dairy products.
7. Beverages, large bottles.

The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to obtain the best results and storage hygiene.

1. The appliance is for the short term storage of fresh food and drinks.
2. Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers and are best placed on the removable shelf.
3. Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.
4. Bottles can be placed in the door section.
5. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked food to avoid contamination. For safety only store raw meat in the fridge for two or three days.
6. Shelves incorporate rear stops and tilting for storing bottles. Lift shelf to clear grooves when adjusting.
7. To tilt a shelf place the back of the shelf one level below the front of the shelf. To remove a tilted shelf, first release the back off the grooves and then pull it.
8. Keep the food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool before placing them in the fridge. Do not store explosive substances in the refrigerator. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Left over canned food should not be stored in the can.
9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0 degrees centigrade. Therefore wrap pineapples, melon, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags.
10. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, dairy compartments, drawers, bottle grippers are all removable.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT

Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat (see diagram). Settings may be made from 1 to 5, the coldest position. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the thermostat should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5C (+41F ).
We recommend you set the thermostat halfway between 1 the 1 and 5 setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i.e. towards 5 you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal.
Over ambient temperatures of 25C (77F) especially in summer turn the thermostat knob towards 5. Under ambient temperatures of 25?C (77?F) turn the thermostat knob to a half way position. Frequent door opening cause higher internal temperatures, so close the door as soon as possible after use.
In case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment reduce the thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time that the fridge temperature is maximum +5 degrees C (41 degrees F). Once the ice build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal. then you may increase the thermostat setting, if required.

STARTING

Final Check
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. 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).
7. 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 on the back of the appliance where a 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 refrozen.
• 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).

CLEANING AND CARE

• We recommend that you switch off the larder refrigerator at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
• Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
• Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the refrigerator and wipe it dry.
• Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
• Make sure that no water enters the temperature control box.
• If the larder refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
• Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
• Never
  • Place the refrigerator in a high temperature.
  • Use rough material scour to rub the refrigerator.
• Removal of door tray: To remove a door tray, remove all the contents and then simply push the door tray upwards from the base.

REPLACING THE INTERIOR LIGHT BULB (See diagram)

Should the light fail to work switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Follow the instructions below to check if the if light bulb has worked itself loose.
If the light still fails to work obtain a replacement E14 screw cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your local electrical store and then fit it as follows:

1. Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. You may find it useful to remove shelves for easy access.
2. Remove the light diffuser cover as shown in figure (b-c).
3. Replace the burnt-out light bulb.
4. Reassemble the light diffuser cover as shown in figure (d). Push firmly to ensure cover is fitted properly.?
