Installation instructions

Do not keep your appliance in a room where the temperature is likely to fall below 10 degrees C (50 degrees F) at night and/or especially in winter, as it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between +10 and +43 degrees C (50 and 109 degrees F). At lower temperatures the appliance may not operate, resulting in a reduction in the storage life of the food.
Do not place the appliance near cookers or radiators or in direct sunlight, as this will cause extra strain on the appliance’s functions. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances: From Cookers 30 mm From Radiators 300 mm From Freezers 25 mm
Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation (Item 2).
Open the door of your refrigerator to set the distance between the refrigerator and the wall (Item 3).
The appliance should be positioned on a smooth surface. The two front feet can be adjusted as required. To ensure that your appliance is standing upright adjust the two front feet by turning clockwise or anticlockwise until firm contact is secured with the floor.

Suggested arrangement of food in the larder fridge

Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage and hygiene:

This appliance is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks.
Dairy products should be stored in the special compartment provided in the door
Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight containers and are best kept on either of the removable shelves.
Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.
Bottles can be kept in the door section.
To store raw meat, wrap it in polythene bags and place it on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food, to avoid contamination. Fo safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.
For maximum efficiency, the removable shelves should not be covered with paper or other materials to allow free circulation of cool
The shelves are fitted with rear stops and tilting for storing bottles. Lift shelf clear of grooves when adjusting.
To tilt a shelf, place the back of the shelf one level below the front of the shelf. To remove a tilted shelf, first release the back from the one level below the front of the shelf. To remove a tilted shelf, first, release the back from the grooves and then pull.
Do not keep vegetable oil on the door Keep food packed, wrapped, or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool before refrigerating. Do not store explosive substances in the refrigerator. High-proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Leftover canned food should not be stored in the can.
Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0 degrees centigrade. Therefore wrap pineapples, melon, cucumbers, tomatoes, and similar produce in polythene bags.

Temperature control and adjustment

The internal temperature could be adjusted by means of the button from the thermostat.
The temperatures obtained inside the appliance could oscillate depending on the usage conditions: location, environmental temperature, doors opening frequency, foods quantity. The position of the thermostat button will change depending on these conditions. Generally, for an environmental temperature of 25°C (77°F), the thermostat button will be settled in a medium position.
Avoid some positions of the thermostat button that could involve a continuous running of the appliance. This could involve a temperature decrease under 0°C, therefore the drinks and fresh foods could freeze and an excessive ice quantity could be accumulated on the internal wall. All these above mentioned could involve a decrease in refrigerating efficiency (an increase in power consumption).

Before operating

Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check that:

The feet have been adjusted for perfect
The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
The interior is clean as recommended under “Cleaning and care.”
The plug has been inserted into the wall socket and the electricity is switched on. When the door is open the interior light will come on.
And note that:
You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some (noise), whether the compressor is running or This is quite normal.
The slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used; it is not a defect.
We recommend setting the thermostat knob midway and monitoring the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend checking the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment).

Defrosting
The larder refrigerator defrosts automatically. The defrosting water runs to the drain tube via a collection channel and is evaporated in a special container at the back of the appliance. (Item 5).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the back of the larder refrigerator where a concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the droplets which have refrozen.
If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube.
Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water from spilling on the electric installation or on the floor (Item 6).

Replacing the interior light bulb
To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, call your authorized service.
The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way.
The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20°C.

Information about operating noises

To keep the selected temperature constant, your appliance occasionally switches ON the compressor.
The resulting noises are quite normal.
As soon as the appliance has reached the operating temperature, the noises automatically reduce in volume.
The humming noise is emitted by the motor (compressor). When the motor switches ON, the noise may briefly increase in volume.
The bubbling, gurgling, or whirring noise is emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through the pipes.
The clicking noise can always be heard when the thermostat switches ON/OFF the motor. A clicking noise may occur when
– the automatic defrosting system is active.
– the appliance is cooling down or warming up (material expansion).
If these noises are excessively loud, the causes are probably not serious and are usually very easy to eliminate.
– The appliance is not level – Use the height-adjustable feet or place packing under the feet.
– The appliance is not free-standing – Please move the appliance away from kitchen units or other appliances.
– Drawers or shelves are loose or stick -Please check the detachable components and, if required, refit them.
– Bottles and/or receptacles are touching each other – Please move bottles and/or receptacles away from each other.
