Operation

Storing Food

To get the best results from your POLAR appliance, follow these instructions:

• Only store foodstuffs in the appliance when it has reached the correct operating temperature.
• Do not place uncovered hot food or liquids (like acidic fluids) inside the appliance (as it can damage the evaporator).
• Wrap or cover food where possible.
• Do not obstruct the fans inside the appliance.
• Avoid opening the door for prolonged periods of time.

Turn On

1.  Close the door of the appliance.
2. Ensure the power switch is set to [O] and turn on at the socket.
3. Switch on the Power [I]. The current temperature within the appliance is displayed.

Control Panel

Set the Operating Temperature

1. Press the SET button for 3 seconds. The display will flash.
2. Press the or buttons to display the required temperature.
3. Press the SET button to store the temperature.

Manual Defrost

• Automatic defrost cycles are every 6 hours and last 25 minutes (factory defaults).
• To manual defrost the appliance: Press and hold the defrost button “aux” for 2 seconds. The defrost light illuminates.
• The defrost cycle will end automatically.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

Tip: Defrost appliance at least every 3 months, more often if required.

• Switch off and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
• Clean the appliance interior often as possible.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. These can leave harmful residues.
• Clean the door seal with warm soapy water.
• Always wipe dry after cleaning.
• Do not allow water used in cleaning to run through the drain hole into the evaporation pan.
• Take care when cleaning the rear of the appliance. Sharp edges can cut.

Condensation and ice will form with frequent and prolonged opening of the doors.
Operating outside of the recommend temperature range and placing next to a heat source will also increase the amount of ice and internal/external condensation. If external condensation occurs wipe the surface down with a cloth.
Excessive ice will result in longer running times that will increase energy consumption and increase the deterioration of components.

Cleaning the Condenser Filter

• The condenser is part of the refrigeration system. The condenser filter requires monthly cleaning.
• Always disconnect power supply before carrying out Routine Maintenance.
• Failure to clean the condenser filter will reduce the performance and life of your Polar unit and may invalidate your warranty.
• These models have a removable filter which can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
