Getting your Integrated Larder Fridge Ready for Use
Before using your Integrated Larder Fridge for the first time the interior, including the door and all removable parts should be wiped out. Use a damp cloth wrung out in either a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water, or Milton sterilising fluid diluted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING: NEVER USE ANY HOUSEHOLD CLEANER OR DETERGENT, ABRASIVE POWDERS OR WAX POLISH. THESE NOT ONLY DAMAGE THE SURFACES,THEY ALSO LEAVE A SMELL IN THE LARDER FRIDGE.
Final Check
Before you start using the Larder Fridge, check that:
1.It is thoroughly dry inside
2.Air can circulate freely
3.The feet have been adjusted, ie the feet are firmly on the ground and ensure the appliance is level.
Starting
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Open your Larder Fridge door and the light will come on. There is a control dial on the right hand side of Larder Fridge interior. Turning the temperature selector dial from ‘O’ (off) towards ‘7’ to the medium setting ‘4’. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up.
OFF
Running in the Compressor
Your Larder Fridge is operated by a compressor which switches on and off in order to maintain the Larder Fridge’s temperature. The compressor is a precision piece of machinery like a car engine and requires a a running in period of up to two months. During this time the compressor has to work a little harder and this may result in more noise than usual.
Temperature selection
*Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures. temperature in the interior of the appliance may even drop below 0˚C.
When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend the medium setting (4).
*The temperature in the refrigerator is affected by how often the door is opened and the amount of fresh food recently stored.
*In the (off) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off). The power supply to the interior light will not be affected and the light will operate when the door is opened.
Tips for energy saving
*Try not to open the door to often.
*Check that air is circulating properly through the plinth grille. (e.g. the grille is not blocked or covered).
