DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES

BE SURE TO MAKE ANY LOCKS UNUSABLE. IF POSSIBLE, REMOVE THE DOOR(S) AND DISCARD SEPARATELY.

WARNING – CHEMICAL HAZARD: DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH THE OLD APPLIANCE. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITY FOR PROPER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES. Before disposing of an old appliance, please make sure it is switched off and safe. Unplug the appliance and break any locks to avoid children becoming trapped.

Please note: the cooling system contains gases and refrigerants which require specialist waste disposal. Contact your local waste disposal depot for proper disposal of an old appliance and contact your local authority if you have any questions. Please ensure the pipework of your appliance is not damaged before disposal.

WARNING: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off doors
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside

DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING

All the packaging materials with your appliance may be disposed of without danger to the environment. The cardboard carton and polythene wrappers are recyclable – check with your local authority for the best recycling options. The expanded polystyrene materials included in the packaging can be placed in general waste.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN EARTHED SOCKET.

• Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that on the rating plate. This appliance is designed to operate on 110-120V/60Hz. Connection to any other power source may damage the appliance
• This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is found
• If the plug has to be changed, because it not suitable for your socket or becomes damaged in any way, it should be replaced by a qualified electrician. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13 Amp socket could cause an electrical hazard
• Always remember to unplug your appliance before cleaning.

HOW TO MINIMISE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF YOUR HUSKY APPLIANCE

• Energy consumption will be lower if the appliance stands in a well-ventilated space and in particular if the vent at the back of the appliance is clear of obstruction
• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as ovens, radiators, heaters, etc as this will increase energy consumption
• Keep the door closed as much as possible
• Setting the thermostat cooler (towards the highest number on the dial) means higher energy consumption, so set only as cool as you require
• Do not overfill the appliance – overfilling means the cool air cannot circulate freely inside the cabinet which may slow the process of cooling and make the cabinet less efficient
• Defrost the appliance if frost can be seen building up inside – frost will increase energy consumption and make the cooling process slower (see section ‘Defrosting’)
• Turn the appliance off completely if it is not required for days or longer to avoid wasting energy (see also section ‘When not in use’).

HANDLING YOUR APPLIANCE

This appliance uses R600a (Isobutane) natural refrigerant gas as part of its cooling system. R600a is environmentally friendly but can be combustible. Care should therefore be taken when handling or transporting the product to ensure that none of the refrigeration circuit components are damaged. To lift the appliance safely, tilt it backward by no more than 45 degrees, and hold the base and rear corners of the appliance carefully. Never use the door handles for lifting. To move the appliance to a flat-level surface, please note the warning on page 3 to avoid damaging your surface. This appliance is heavy and could cause injury. Ensure there are adequate people present to move the appliance.

POSITIONING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Ensure that the appliance is situated:
• Away from direct sunlight and in a dry and well-ventilated space
• Away from stoves, ovens, radiators, and any other heating appliances
• With a recommendation of at least 15cm clearance around the appliance
• Do not position the appliance in conservatories or outbuildings with extremely high or low ambient temperatures
• Do not use it outdoors or leave it in the rain
• Do not place anything on your appliance
• The appliance must be used in the vertical position and stand on an even, flat surface for quieter operation
• If your appliance is to be placed on carpet, support it with a wooden board underneath. Be aware that placing the appliance on carpet may mean that heat from the compressor may cause the carpet to fade
• Ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

STORING FOOD

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase in the temperature in the compartments of the appliance
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry and leave the door open to prevent mold from developing within the appliance.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The thermostat situated on the back (inside for under counter models) of your appliance controls the temperature within the appliance. This can be rotated left or right to regulate the temperature. On the thermostat, 1 is the warmest setting and 5 on countertop or 7 on undercounter models is the coldest. The thermostat should be adjusted according to the amount of product in the appliance and the ambient temperature. The guide for setting the thermostat is as follows:

• Winter — Setting 1-2
• Spring and Autumn — Setting 2-4
• Summer — Setting 4-5 (Countertop); 6-7 (Undercounter)

Once the temperature control has been set, close the door. Do not open the door again fora minimum of 4 hours to allow the appliance to reach the required temperature.

WARNING: If the thermostat is set to too cold a setting, beverages may become frozen. In extreme circumstances, glass bottles may even break. Always exercise caution when setting the temperature.

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT – COUNTERTOP MODELS

The controller is positioned on the external back wall of the appliance. The

• settings 1 (MIN) – 5 (MAX) regulate the interior temperature.
• Setting 1 (or MIN) = lowest setting (warmest internal temperature)
• Setting 5 (or MAX) = highest setting (coldest internal temperature).

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT – UNDERCOUNTER MODELS
The controller is positioned on the interior side wall of the appliance. The thermostat “0” position indicates the appliance is turned off although power is still connected. By turning the thermostat dial clockwise, the appliance will turn on automatically. The settings 1 (MIN) – 7 (MAX) regulate the interior temperature of the appliance.

• Setting 0 = Off (not operating)
• Setting 1 (or MIN) = lowest setting (warmest internal temperature)
• Setting 7 (or MAX) = highest setting (coldest internal temperature).

CHANGING THE LED LIGHT BULB (where applicable)

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Disconnect the appliance from the power before cleaning. Always reconnect the plug with dry hands. Never pour water over the appliance.

Interior Cleaning

• Wash the interior with warm water and neutral detergent such as bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litres of water)
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps
• Dry all surfaces thoroughly.

Exterior Cleaning

• Wash the outer cabinet including the back and bottom of the appliance with warm soapy water
• Do NOT use abrasive products as this can damage the finish
• There are sharp edges on the underside of the product as always take care when handling the appliance
• Once or twice a year dust the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner to maintain efficient performance

WHEN YOUR APPLIANCE IS NOT IN USE
If the appliance is not being used for long periods:

• Unplug your appliance
• Clean and dry the inside of the appliance. Leave the door slightly open to allow it to dry completely
• An appliance that is unused without being cleaned may start to smell musty or develop mildew.

DEFROSTING

• The surface of the evaporator ices up when the appliance is working normally. It can also occur when the door has been left open or the thermostat has been set too high. If the frost layer is more than 3mm/1⁄8″ thick, the appliance must be defrosted and cleaned to avoid unnecessary energy consumption and inefficient operation.

1. Remove all items inside and unplug the appliance.
2. After defrosting, clean the appliance (see instructions above) and allow it to dry.

POWER FAILURE

• If a power cut occurs, do not open the door more often than necessary to conserve cold air.
