Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check
that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect
levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate
freely at the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended
under "Cleaning and care.”
4. 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:
5. 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 not. This is quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet
is quite normal due to the manufacturing
process used; it is not a defect.
7. We recommend setting the thermostat
knob midway 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 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 spilling on
the electric installation or on the floor
(Item 6).
Replacing the interior light bulb

3. Use luke warm water to clean the
cabinet of the appliance and wipe it dry.
4. Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution
of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one
pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it
dry.
5. Make sure that no water enters the
temperature control box.
6. If the appliance is not going to be used
for a long period of time, switch it off,
remove all food, clean it and leave the door
