Product Description

Using the appliance for the first time

Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the appliance and remove all packaging material and any promotional stickers.  Keep the packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene, and cardboard) out of the reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat surface and make sure there is enough space all around for sufficient ventilation. A minimum space of 10 cm is required between the appliance and the surrounding walls. In this way, the appliance is able to release heat properly, cool well and function in an energy-efficient way. You can use the adjustable feet to level the appliance. Do not place the appliance near heat sources such as central heating or a stove. Do take note of the climate class of the appliance. When placed in a room that is too cold, the larder will not function properly.
After placing the appliance, leave it for at least 3 hours before inserting the plug in the socket.
First, clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry.
Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours.

Use

The control unit of the appliance is located on the inside. Check that the thermostat is off in position 0.
Check that the voltage corresponds with what is stated on the information plate and insert the plug in the socket.
Adjusting the temperature
By means of the thermostat, you are able to change the temperature in the larder.
The possible positions of the thermostat:
Switch off appliance – position 0
Maximum temperature – position 1 (least cold)
Optimum temperature – positions 2-5
Minimum temperature – position 7 (coldest) Set the temperature with the thermostat and select a position between 1 and 7. We recommend setting the appliance to position 4. The appliance will now cool continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Allow the appliance to reach the required temperature with no food. Usually, this will take 2 to 3 hours. After that, you can set the thermostat to the required position and fill the appliance with food.
The internal temperature of the larder
Adjusting the temperature to the changing seasons is not recommended. The increase in ambient temperature is detected by the sensor and the compressor will automatically work longer to maintain the required internal temperature.
Minor changes in temperature
Minor changes in temperature are normal and can be caused by storing a large number of fresh products in the larder, or by leaving the door open for a longer period of time.  The food is not affected, and the temperature quickly returns to the normal value.
Set the thermostat to position 0 to switch off the appliance.
Attention:
The ambient temperature, the frequency of opening the door, and the position of the appliance have an effect on the temperature in the appliance. Take this into account when setting the thermostat.

• Do not place hot food in the appliance.
• You should never place hazardous, highly flammable, or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the appliance because there will be a hazard of explosion.
• Carefully package meat and fish to prevent unpleasant smells.
• Leave sufficient space between the different foods, to allow the air to circulate properly.
• Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance. The shelves have a stopper to prevent this.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.

Tips

• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the appliance in a position away from direct
  sunlight or other sources of heat.

• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it
  as soon as possible.

• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow
  the cool air to circulate. Therefore don’t place any food items against the back.

• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.

• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.

• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick.

• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher.
  To restore efficiency, replace the gasket.

• Always consider the instructions, otherwise, the energy consumption is substantially higher.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regular 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.
• 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-start compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off by removing the plug from the socket.
CLEANING THE LARDER
The cooler section of the appliance defrosts automatically. Regularly clean the larder to guarantee a proper function.
When there is white frost on the rear wall of the cooler section, it will defrost automatically. The defrost water runs downwards and is
discharged via the defrost water drain. The opening of the defrost water drain can become clogged. Clean the opening by means of the skewer.

• Switch off the thermostat [0] and remove the plug from the socket.
• Open the door and remove the products. Store the products on a cool location, packed in newspapers and blankets.
• Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry.
• Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The shelves, drawers and door compartments can be removed from the appliance easily and washed by hand. These components may never be cleaned in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside of the appliance and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.
• Switch on the appliance in accordance with the instruction manual.

REPLACING THE LAMP
When the lamp in the larder or refrigerator is defective, you can replace it yourself. Observe these steps:

• Switch off the thermostat [0] and remove the plug from the socket.
• Remove the cover from the lighting.
• First, check that the lamp has been properly fastened.
• If the lamp is defective, replace it with the same type: small tube lamp, maximum 15 Watt, fitting E14. Such a lamp is generally available.
• Place back the cover.
• Insert the plug in the socket.

Resolving failures yourself

– check that the plug is properly inserted in the socket – check that the power cable is not damaged
– check that there is voltage on the socket by connecting a different appliance, such as a night lamp
– check that the appliance is on by setting the thermostat higher than 0
The interior lighting does not work.| The lamp is defective or the plug is not in the socket.| Check the solutions above or have the lamp replaced.
The temperature in the larder is too high or too low| Wrong setting of the thermostat.| – turn the thermostat to a different position
The ambient temperature is higher or lower than the temperature indicated in the table with technical data.| The appliance is intended for operation in an
ambient temperature indicated in the table with technical data supplied with the appliance.
The appliance is located in direct sunlight or near a heat source.| Change the location of the appliance according to the information in the instruction manual.
The ventilation at the rear of the appliance is hindered.| Keep the appliance 10 cm away from the walls, for sufficient ventilation.
The door of the larder is opened too frequently or remains open for too long.| Open the door less often and/or reduce the time that the door remains open.
The door is not closed properly.| Make sure the foods are placed in such a way that they do not hinder the door when it is being closed.
The compressor does not work often enough.| Check that the ambient temperature is not lower than the range of the climate class.
The door rubber is loose.| Fasten the door rubber or have it replaced.
The appliance is working continuously.| Wrong setting of the thermostat.| – turn the thermostat to a higher position
There is water
in the lower section of the larder.| The opening of the defrost water drain is clogged.| Clean the opening of the defrost water drain by means of the skewer.
The ventilation within the cooler section is hindered.| Check that the food does not make contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator.
Unusual or loud noises| The appliance is not level and stable.| Level the appliance with adjustable feet.
The appliance is standing against something.| Place the appliance in such a way that it is not standing against anything.

During normal use of the cooling appliance, different types of noises can occur that do not have any effect on the correct operation of the larder.
Noises that can be easily remedied:

• Noise due to the fact that the appliance is not level – position the appliance using the front adjustable feet. If necessary, place soft material under the rear wheels, particularly in the case of a tiled floor.
• Friction against other furniture – move the appliance.
• Grinding of drawers or shelves – remove the shelf or drawer and then place it back.
• The noise of colliding bottles – place the bottles apart.
  Noises that can be heard during normal use of the appliance are caused by the operation of the thermostat, compressor (activation), and cooling system (shrinkage and expansion of the material under the influence of temperature differences and flow of cooling liquid).
