STARTING

Final Check

Before you start using the refrigerator check that:

1.The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.

2.The interior is dry and air can circulate freely.

3.Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."

4.Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. When the door is open the interior light will come on.

5.You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal.

6.Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used, so do not worry, it is not a defect.

7.We recommend that you set the thermostat knob at 3 (three) and monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).

8.Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment).

Important Note :

Ice formation at the back is normal, do not worry. (See Defrosting)

DEFROSTING

The larder fridge defrosts	2
automatically. The defrosting water runs to
the drain tube via a collection channel
and is evaporated in a special container (1)		1
at the back of the appliance (see diagram).
During defrosting water droplets may form
at the back of the larder fridge where
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, forks to remove the droplets which have refreezed.

If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure 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

**Make sure that no water enters the temperature control box.

**If the larder refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

**Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the appliance, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
