COOKOLOGY CITDLFR1770 Integrated Fridge
Important
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for injuries or losses caused by incorrect use or installation of this product. Please note that we reserve the right to invalidate the guarantee supplied with this product following incorrect installation or misuse of the appliance. This appliance is not designed to be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensorial or mental capacity, or who lack experience or knowledge about it, unless they have had supervision or instructions on how to use the appliance by someone who is responsible for their safety. Under no circumstances should any external covers be removed for servicing or maintenance except by suitably qualified personnel.
Before first use
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on. It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior. Thefridgemayhaveanodourtoitatfirstuse. Thiswilldisappear as the appliance cools. Do not load the fridge with food until at least 2 hours have passed and the fridge is close to correcttemperature.
Please note:
- The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the correct temperature.
- If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the compressor.
- This fridge cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface; it then dissipates and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates harmlessly. The presence of frosting at the back is not a malfunction of the fridge.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge
through the channel at the back of the fridge. It is important to keep the
channel clear at all times. The defrosted water is collected in the
evaporating tray at the back of the appliance.
Controls and Use
-
A. Fridge temperature adjustment sensor
This button is used to adjust the temperature within the fridge. Press this sensor once to activate adjustment, and then as many times as necessary until the desired level is selected. The settings range from 2 to 8 with 2 being the warmest and 8 being the coldest. -
B. Super coolfunction
This should be used when cooling large quantities of food all at once. Activate this function 2 or 3 hours before introducing the food and do not leave it to run for more than necessary. Leaving it to run for longer will place unnecessary strain on the cooling system. The function will automatically deactivate after approximately 24hours. -
C. Fridge temperature setting display
This display will illuminate the current temperature setting. Adjusting the temperature will cycle through thisdisplay. Pleasenote:Youdonotusethenumbers tochangethetemperature. Instead, use the refrigerator temperature adjustment sensor (A). -
D. Power button
Use this sensor to switch the appliance on and off (standby mode). The sensor will be illuminated when the appliance is off.
Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power before any cleaning or maintenance.
- The refrigerator should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
- Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand using soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
- The evaporating tray and water drain hole (at the back of the compartment) should be cleaned periodically to prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the compartment. The drainplug can be used to clear the drain hole.
- Once cleaning is complete, reconnect the mains power supply.
- If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time or in the event of a prolonged power cut unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
- The door seal should be cleaned periodically.
- Clean the switch, lamp and thermostat control with a dry cloth.
- Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
- Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put into the refrigerator.
- Nothing should rest against the internal rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation problems which will be difficult to remove.
Troubleshooting
If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check the troubleshooting prior to calling Customer Care to prevent unnecessary service calls and potential cost. If the appliance is not working
- Check there is power to theappliance.
- The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown.
- The thermostat is not set to 0 (off position).
- The plug socket is functioning fine. To check this, plug another electrical appliance in to see if the socket is working.
The temperature of the room is adequate (10°C or above).
If the appliance is working, but not very well
- Check the appliance is not overloaded.
- The thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature.
- The door is closing properly.
- The cooling system at the rear of the appliance is clean and free of dust, and not touching the rearwall.
- There is enough ventilation at the side and rear walls.
- The temperature of the room is adequate (10°C or above).
If the appliance isnoisy
- Check the appliance is level andstable.
- The side and rear walls are clear, and there is nothing resting on the appliance.
- The cooling gas in the refrigerator will make a slight bubbling noise, even when the compressor is not running.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment
- Check the drain hole in the channel at the back of the compartment is clear.
Please note: The LED lighting cannot be replaced without a service call. If the light fails, please contact customer care.
Installation And Ventilation
This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources i.e. heating elements, cookers or in damp places
- This refrigeration appliance is intended for use as a built-in appliance.
- The diagram shows the ventilation requirements for yourproduct.
- Failure to provide adequate ventilation can lead to increased running costs and premature failure and may invalidate the warranty provided with the product
Ventilation
The main consideration when installing any refrigeration unit into a fitted
kitchen is ventilation. The heat removed from the cooling compartment needs to
be dissipated into the atmosphere. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature
compressor failure, excessive power consumption and total system failure. For
products intended to be installed into a tall housing unit, the following
requirements need to be met:
Important
Please follow the instructions to install this unit.
The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct operation of the appliance it is important that the top of the housing unit is not blocked off. A channel depth of 40-50mm is normal with most units. A hole is shown in the base shelf of the unit; this allows air to be drawn over the compressor & heat exchange. Some installers fit a decorative plinth vent. In most cases this is not required, but is a welcome aesthetic addition. As a rule, the more air that can get in and around the appliance, the better and more efficient the operation of the product.
Climate range
The information about the climate range of the appliance is provided on the rating plate. It indicates at which ambient temperature (that is room temperature in which the appliance is working) is optimal for the operation of the appliance.
Reversing the door
It is possible to reverse the door on this appliance, if required. To do so, follow the steps below:
- Loosen the top hinge fixing screws and remove the top hinge, taking care to support the weight of the door.
- Lift the door from the bottom hinge and place on a soft surface to protect the door from damage.
- Refit the hinge taken from the top to the opposite lower corner, as in figure 4.
- Replace the door and refit the hinge taken from the lower corner to the opposite top corner.
- Adjust the hinges to ensure the door is aligned correctly
Mounting theFascia Door
- Using a screwdriver, fix the mounting brackets to the appliance door, as shown in figure 5.
- Position the appliance within the unit. Ensure that there is a gap of 3 to 4mm between the non-hinged side andthe cabinet wall.
- Locate the slider in the bracket and fix the slider to the fascia door 20 to 22 mm from the edge of the fascia as shown in figure 6, ensuring that the slider is positioned centrally and horizontally within the bracket. Tighten securely by hand.
- Fill the gap on the non-hinged side with the seal strip provided, as shown in figure 7.
