VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

The main consideration when installing a refrigeration product into a cabinet is ventilation. The heat removed from the appliance needs to be dissipated into the room. Failure to correctly ventilate the product can result in increased running costs and premature failure. It will also invalidate the guarantee provided with the appliance.

An air intake in the plinth is required to allow for the correct air flow (recommended 500mm x 75mm). If preferred a decorative stainless steel plinth grille is available, product code: GRILL/SENSE600. This can be purchased from your retailer or www.caple.co.uk.

To ensure the correct operation of the appliance it is important the top of the housing is not blocked off. The top of the cabinet needs to be vented into the room,the recommended minimum size of the vent opening is 500x75mm.

There should also be space at the rear of the cabinet to allow the cool air to be drawn over the condenser. This should also be at least 500mm x 75mm. The more air available to circulate the product, the more efficiently it will operate.

USING THE APPLIANCE

FROST FREE TECHNOLOGY

Frost Free refrigerators have a different operating system to static refrigerators.

In normal (static) fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to opening the door, and the humidity inherent in the food, causes frost build-up in the freezer compartment.

To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you are required to periodically switch off the fridge, place the frozen food in a separate cooled container, then remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment. The situation is completely different in Frost free fridges.

A built-in fan blows dry and cold air evenly throughout the cooler and freezer compartments. The cold air disperses uniformly between the shelves, ensuring all your food is cooled equally, thus preventing humidity and frost build-up. Therefore, your Frost free fridge allows ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

DISPLAY AND CONTROL PANEL

For optimal appliance performance in maximum cooling capacity, set the appliance to active Super Cooling mode 5 hours before you put the fresh food into the fridge.
During this mode if you press the temperature set button, the mode will be cancelled and the setting will be restore back to the MAX setting. Super cooling mode will be automatically cancelled after 5 hours

ALARM LIGHT

In case of a problem within the fridge, the alarm LED will illuminate red.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT WARNINGS

It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
Do not start another adjustment while you are already making an adjustment.
Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the fridge and the ambient temperature in the location of your fridge.
In order to allow your fridge to reach the operating temperature after being connected to mains, do not open the doors frequently or place large quantities of food in the fridge. Please note that, depending on the ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your fridge to reach the operating temperature.
A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature range T/N = 16°C – 43°C intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class displayed on the information label. We do not recommend operating your appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.

Climate Class	Ambient Temperature o C
T	Between 16 and 43 (°C)
ST	Between 16 and 38 (°C)
N	Between 16 and 32 (°C)
SN	Between 10 and 32 (°C)

THE TURBO FAN

Do not block the air inlet and outlet openings when storing food, otherwise air circulation provided by the turbo fan will be impaired.

CAPLE FRESH

(MAXI-FRESH PRESERVER)

Caple Fresh technology eliminates the ethylene gas (a by product of fresh foods) inside the vegetable draw. By this method, it maximizes the fresh foods shelf life, especially green vegetables. Caple Fresh also blocks the bad smells produced in the refrigerator.
The Caple Fresh filter must be cleaned once a year. It can be cleaned by leaving in sunlight for one day.
When you want to clean the filter, remove the back side in the direction of the arrow.
Don’t wet this part with water or detergent.

HUMIDITY CONTROLLED DRAWER

When the humidity controller is in the closed position, it allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored longer.

When the drawer is totally full, the humidity controller should be opened. By means of this the air in the draw and humidity rate will be controlled and endurance life will be increased. If you see any condensation on the glass shelf above, the humidity control should be moved into the open position..

NOTE:
These draws are specifically designed to store fruit & vegetables only. We do not recommend storing meats and/or fish in these draws.

EASY ADJUSTABLE DOOR BALCONY

One door balcony is adjustable (the rest are fixed). To adjust the balcony to the appropriate height, hold the bottom of the balcony and pull on the button on each end to unlock as shown in below. Whilst pulled down move the door balcony to the appropriate height (there are 6 height positions). Once set at the correct height, release the buttons to lock it into position.

NOTE:
Please ensure the balcony is empty before adjusting

FOOD STORAGE

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.
Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, etc.).
Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.

NOTE:
Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

Opening the door for long periods can cause significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food accessible drainage systems.
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drips onto other food.
Two -star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice cream and making ice cubes.
One-, two- and three-star compartments are not suitable for freezing of fresh food.
If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

FOOD| MAXIMUM STORAGE **TIME*| HOW AND WHERE TO STORE**
---|---|---
Vegetables and fruits| 1 week| Vegetable bin
Meat and fish| Between 16 and 38 (°C)| Wrap in plastic foil, bags, or in a meat container and store on the glass shelf
Fresh cheese| Between 16 and 32 (°C)| On the designated door shelf
Butter and margarine| Between 10 and 32 (°C)| On the designated door shelf
Bottled products e.g. milk and yoghurt| Until the expiry date recommended by the producer| On the designated door shelf
Eggs| 1 month| On the designated egg tray
Cooked food| | All shelves

These are guidelines only, always refer to the expiry date, or best before date recommended by the producer.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is in contact with the cooling surface.
Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.
When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as possible.
Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity band abnormal swelling.
It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.
To use the maximum capacity of the freezer compartment, use the glass shelves for the upper and middle section, and use the lower basket for the bottom section.

NOTE:
If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (aniseed, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should be added after the food has thawed.
The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic or bags or containers. The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer compartment.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.

Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it.

Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps for cleaning the appliance. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.

Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
The appliance should be cleaned regularly using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a dish washer.
Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity.

NOTE:
The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning.

DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

Your refrigerator performs automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporisation container behind your refrigerator and evaporates there.
Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your refrigerator before cleaning the vaporisation container.
Remove the vaporisation container from its position by removing the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy water at specific time intervals.
This will prevent odours from forming.

REPLACING LED LIGHTING

To replace any of the LEDs, please contact Caple service to arrange. This should only be performed by a qualified electrician.

NOTE:
The numbers and location of the LED strips may change according to the model.

REPLACING LED LIGHTING

TRANSPORT AND REPOSITIONING

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING POSITIONING

The original packaging and foam may be kept for re transportation (optional).
Fasten your appliance with thick packaging, bands or strong cords and follow the instructions for transportation on the packaging.
Remove all movable parts (shelves, accessories, vegetable bins, and so on) or fix them into the appliance against shocks using bands/tape when re-positioning or transporting. Always carry your appliance in the upright position.

TROUBLESHOOTING

ERRORS

Your fridge will warn you if the temperatures for the fridge and freezer are at improper levels or if a problem occurs with the appliance.

Alarm indicator LED is turning on| Meaning| Why| What to do
---|---|---|---

| Failure Warning| There is/are some part(s) out of order or there is a failure in the cooling process.
The product has been plugged in for the first time, or power has been interrupted for more than 1 hour| Check if the door is open or not. Check the appliance in 1 hour to see if it is now working, and the alarm has turned off. If the door is not open, or the appliance is still not working after 1 hour, call Caple service for assistance

If your fridge freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following, before calling an electrician to save time and money.

THE APPLIANCE DOES NOT OPERATE CHECK IF:

There if their is power to the unit
The general switch in your home is connected
The socket is working. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working into the same socket.

THE APPLIANCE PERFORMS POORLY CHECK IF:

You have not overloaded the appliance
The fridge temperature set to MAX
The door is closed perfectly
There is no dust on the condenser
There is enough space at the rear and side walls for ventilation

WHY IS MY FRIDGE OPERATING LOUDLY?
CRACKING (ICE CRACKING) :

During automatic defrosting.
When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

SHORT CRACKING:

Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/ off.

COMPRESSOR NOISE:

Normal motor noise. This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.

BUBBLING NOISES:

This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.

WATER FLOW NOISE:

Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.

AIR BLOW NOISE:

Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

DOOR JOINTS

If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm; especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal. If humidity builds up inside the fridge freezer;

IS ALL THE FOOD PACKED PROPERLY?

Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
Are the fridge freezer’s doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the door is opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the door more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

IF THE DOORS ARE NOT OPENED AND CLOSED PROPERLY

Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
Are door joints broken or torn?
Is your fridge freezer on a level surface?

RECOMMENDATIONS

To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when the door is left open)

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will save energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of energy.
Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered, the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy. Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments ( such as the crisper and chiller) closed.
The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn
