3. Cleaning
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly at intervals, as necessary.
Remove the shelves; these, the cabinet interior and the door
should be washed with a warm solution of sodium bi-
carbonate. Finally wipe over with a cloth rinsed in warm water only,
and dry with a clean cloth. Do not wash any plastic parts in water that
is more than hand warm, and do not expose them to dry heat. The
outside of the cabinet should be wiped down regularly with a clean,
damp cloth.
NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS OR ABRASIVE CLEANING
MATERIALS ON ANY PART OF THE CABINET.
4. Positioning the appliance
When first using this refrigerator please consider the following points:
ENSURE REFRIGERATOR IS LEVEL
THE PIPEWORK AT THE BACK GETS HOT IN USE
THE REFRIGERATOR HAS NO 'MOTOR' AND IS THEREFORE
VIRTUALLY SILENT
ALLOW AT LEAST 3 HRS. FOR SIGNS OF COOLING
During the refrigeration process, the appliance gives off heat
from the condenser (under the upper part of the rear cover)
into the surrounding air. The more ventilated the condenser is,
the more effective the refrigeration will be.
The other condition for satisfactory operation is that the appliance
stands on a flat surface. This is best seen by placing a glass of
water on top of the appliance.
It is important that the appliance is not directly exposed to radiated
heat (sunlight, radiator, near an oven, etc.).
4.1. Installation instructions
The refrigerator is equipped with an electrically heated absorption
cooling unit which is virtually silent in operation. The fridge is designed
for free-standing installation, but can be built-in if the following
conditions are complied with to ensure satisfactory operation and
maximum cooling efficiency.
IMPORTANT
Please follow the installation details below carefully Guarantee
is valid for products installed as described only.
1. The refrigerator must be le
vel both directions
2. There should be 20mm clearance to the wall
3. Ventilation must be provided as shown in alternatives A, B, C
or D (fig 2-3)
4. The ventilation duct must at least measure 105mm x the
width of the refrigerator
5. Only
the entire cooling unit must project into the duct as
shown
6. Air passing thr
ough the duct must not be preheated by any
source of heat
7. Ventilation grills, if used, must have openings of at leas
t
200cm
2
each
During installation, please ensure the mains plug is accessible
at all times.
5. Using the appliance
To start the refrigerator connect the plug to the socket outlet and
switch on the socket. The cooling fins should show signs of cooling
after about 3 hours.
The refrigerator needs about 6 hours at normal ambient temperature
to reach 6 °C in the storage compartment.
5.1. Temperature regulation
The usual setting required is in middle of the setting range on the
thermostat knob (Fig. 4), but this can vary with conditions of load and
installation. If it is found necessary to alter the setting,the knob can be
turned to a higher number to produce a colder temperature, or a lower
number to produce a warmer temperature. The effect of any
adjustment can be checked by means of a thermometer after leaving
the refrigerator operating for a further period to settle down again.
