Electrical connection
WARNING It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

• Before plugging in your new upright refrigerator, let it stand upright for at least 2 hours. This will allow the refrigerant gases to settle into the compressor and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.
• The appliance must be earthed. The plug of the power supply cord is equipped with a contact for this purpose. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (earth) prong from the power cord. If the plug does not fit your outlet, consult a licensed electrician for advice to have the outlet changed.
• Plug the unit into a dedicated, properly earthed wall outlet. Ensure that your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the rating label.

Operation Instructions

Temperature Control

• Your fridge has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the inside wall of the refrigerator, visible only when the door is open.
• Depending on your room’s ambient temperature, you may need to adjust the temperature setting to achieve your desired temperature.
• The temperature options are as follows
  • Dial position “Min” provides a cool temperature.
  • Dial position “Med” is suitable for normal operation, suitable for most situations.
  • Dial position “Max” provides the coolest temperature.

IMPORTANT: If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the thermostat control by one increment
at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilise between adjustments.

Using for the First Time
When you install your appliance, set the thermostat knob to position 6 for the first 24–48 hours, after which you can set it to the level that best suites your needs. It is the best to wait 24 hours before adding food.

IMPORTANT: Once the unit has started, continuous operation is recommended. Please try and avoid turning the unit off and on as this may affect the service life.

Noise From Your Upright Refrigerator

• You may notice that your upright fridge makes some unusual noises from time to time. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
• These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit and is common with all modern fridges.

Usage Tips

• Cooked meats/fish should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fish to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fish in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.

• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.

• To prevent transfer of favours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.

• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.

• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door.

• We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.

• When storing pre-packed, commercially refrigerated food, follow the food manufacturer’s instructions for storing the food in a home fridge or freezer. Do not exceed any storage times
  listed on the packaging.

• According to national standards, household refrigerators shall not be used for other purposes, such as storage of blood, drugs or biological products.

Interior Accessories

• Various glass or plastic storage shelves are included with your appliance — different models have different combinations.
• You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and vegetable containers, and keep it in this position. To do this, pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed.
• Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.
• In order to make the most of the volume of the fresh food storage compartment or frozen-food storage compartment, the user can remove one or more shelves, drawers out of the appliance, according to your daily use.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning
WARNING
Before cleaning the appliance, make sure it is switched off and disconnected from the power supply. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or injury.

• Wash the inside surfaces and the interior accessories with a damp, warm cloth moistened in a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 litre of water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Clean the outside of the unit with a damp, well wrung-out cloth, keeping the area of the controls dry. Keep the lid gasket (seal) clean.
• Never use boiling water to accelerate defrosting as it may damage the plastic components.
• After cleaning/defrosting, push the drain plugin.
• After everything is dry, place the appliance back into service.
• Allow approximately 1–2 hours for the cabinet to cool down again (depending on the length of time the appliance was disconnected from the power).

WARNING
Never clean the unit with an abrasive, acid, oil or solvent-based cleaning agent. Never use flammable fluids or sprays for cleaning as the fumes from these substances can create a fire hazard or Explosion.

Service, repair, and spare parts
Do not attempt to alter or modify this appliance in any way, or to repair or replace any part unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Contact our after-sales support on 1300 11 43 57 for advice.
Our after-sales support center stocks a selection of spare parts for the InAlto 230L Upright Refrigerator. To enquire about purchasing a part, call us on 1300 11 43 57 or email support@residentiagroup.com.au

Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, take proper steps to protect the contents.

Energy Saving Tips

• The appliance should be placed in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts. Please avoid placement in direct sunlight.

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.

• Do not overload the appliance with unrefrigerated food as this may cause it to cool slowly and risk
  food spoilage.

• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on any condensation building up inside in the unit.

• Please do not wrap items in aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towel. This materials interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.

• Organise and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, ensuring the unit is opened as few times as possible.

• The outer condenser, the rear wall should be always clean free of dust or any impurities.
