Caring for your Integrated Larder Fridge

Cleaning your Integrated Larder Fridge It is a good idea to clean the inside of your Larder Fridge regularly. Always switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug first.

Remove any food. Wipe out the inside of the Larder Fridge using a clean cloth wrung out in either a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water, or Milton diluted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The complete interior including the door, and removable parts, should be washed with care ensuring that the cloth does not become caught on any part of the appliance. Never use any household cleaner or detergent, abrasive powders or wax polish. These not only damage the surfaces, but also leave a smell in the Larder Fridge. Make sure that no particles of food are left in the interior gutter. If the drain hole becomes blocked it may be cleared by pushing the end of a pipe cleaner or drinking straw through the drain hole and gently moving it up and down. The rubber door seal must be cleaned with soap and water only as a detergent will damage it.

Automatic defrosting

The refrigerator requires no defrosting, since the ice at the rear wall melts automatically when the compressor is off and water slides downwards through the hole in the rear wall. This is collected in a receptacle placed at the bottom of the appliance.

Going Away

If you expect to be away for any length of time and don’t want to use your Larder Fridge, switch off at the power point and pull out the plug. Remove all food and wipe out the interior. Always leave the door ajar to prevent the accumulation of odours.

How to Replace the Interior Light

Should the light fail to work, switch off at the power point and pull out the plug. Remove the shelves to make access easier. Access to the bulb is from the rear of the cover(arrow 1) and remove the cover in the direction of (arrow 2).

Unscrew the old bulb. Screw the new bulb securely into the holder. Replace the plug in the power point and switch on. If the light fails to work, do not worry, it will not affect the working of your Larder Fridge. Obtain a replacement (max 15 watt 220-240V alternating current, E14 lampholder) from your nearest Spares Centre and replace the old bulb.
