 Operating the Appliance

  1. The thermostat control situated in the appliance regulates the temperature.ELBA-ER-Q1856\(GR\)-Single-Door-Refrigerator- \(6\)
    Position “0” – OFF
    Position “1-5” – 1 is the warmest setting and 5 is coldest setting.
    NOTE: Do not leave the appliance to run at position “5” for prolonged period as this will damage the compressor and the food inside the freezer.

  2. Regulate the thermostat to “4” to check on the operation before switching to higher cooling level. NOTE: The optimum cooling level is position “THREE or FOUR” (to avoid over cooling and damaged to the compressor).

  3. Check the temperature after 4 hours. If the cooling has reached to acceptable level, you may start using the appliance.

  4. The temperature will be affected by:

  5.  Room temperature;

  6. How often the door is opened; and

  7. How much food is stored

  8. In determining the correct temperature control setting, all the above factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be required.

  9. Always store the hot food after it is completely cold. Never store hot items into the appliance.

  10. Always pack the food completely before putting into the appliance to avoid taste mixing and frosting together.

  11. If there is an electricity cut-off, please wait 10 minutes before operating the appliance again to avoid damage to the compressor.

Defrosting the Appliance

  1. Getting the air into the appliance may form a layer of frost inside. It will weaken the refrigeration when the frost is thick. When it is more than 5mm thick, you should defrost the appliance.
  2. Wrap the food and keep them in a cool place.
  3. Press the defrost button for an immediate cut off of the cooling system. Water from the melting ice will be contained in the drain pan. When the defrosting process has completed, the cooling system will automatically restart.
  4. The water from defrosting process will flow into the drain pan at the rear of the appliance and will automatically evaporate overtime.
  5. Speed up the defrosting process by putting bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the appliance.
  6. The appliance should be defrosted once every one month depending on the usage.
  7. If the appliance door was opened frequently or using the appliance in high humidity area, we advise the user to defrost once every two weeks.
  8. This appliance should not be left unused for a long period. To stop using the appliance, disconnect the main power. Clean the interior and dry it completely. Open the door for 2-3 days to ensure it is dry completely.

Energy Saving Tips

  1. Do not place warm food into the appliance. Allow warm food to cool down first.
  2. Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators, or other sources of warmth.
  3. High ambient temperature will cause the compressor to operate more frequent.
  4. Make sure the side plates and back plates are with certain distance from the wall. It is strongly recommended that the back of the appliance is at least 10cm away from the wall.
  5. When the compressor is operating please do not open the door too often or leave the door open any longer than necessary.
  6. Do not set the temperature to any colder than necessary.
  7. Store the food logically, do not try to overload or exceed the loading limit.

DAILY TIPS

Freezing fresh food

  • It is recommended to wrap or cover the food before placing them in the refrigerator.
  • Hot food must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.
  • The food that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.
  • Food must be divided into portions according to the family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.
  • The food must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be kept for a short time.
  • To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a plastic material. Example: wrap or bags without sealing and place in the moist fresh zone.
  • Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
    1. Do not freeze too large quantities of food at one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
    2. Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.
    3. Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating, otherwise the foods will not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
    4. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
    5. Keep the door securely closed.
