Caring for your Appliance.
DEFROSTING:
AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING OF THE
REFRIGERATOR-
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,
because ice deposited on the interior back
wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice is deposited on the interior back wall
during the compressor operation, later on
when the compressor is not operating, the
ice defrosts and water droplets collect and
drain through the outlet in the interior back
wall into the drain pan situated above the
compressor, from where it evaporates.
MANUAL DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR-
As long as the defrost water runs to the chan-
nel and through the outlet to the drain pan
on the compressor, automatic defrosting of
the appliance is assured.
In the case of ice formation on the interior
rear wall increasing (3-5mm), ice should be
manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to OFF (O) position
and leave the refrigerator door open.
Never use electric devices for defrosting and
do not scrape the ice with sharp objects.
After defrosting is completed, turn the
thermostat knob to the desired position and
close the refrigerator door.
The cause of increased ice formation may be
one of the following:
- The door does not seal well. (Clean the
gasket if it is contaminated or replace it if it
is damaged).
-
The door was frequently opened or was
left open for a long period.
-
The food stored in the refrigerator was
warm.
-
Food or packaging is touching the interior
rear wall.
MANUAL DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER-
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is
3 - 5mm thick you should defrost the freezer.
●
A few hours before defrosting, set the
thermostat to position 7, so that packages
are well frozen.
Reset the thermostat to OFF (O) position
and disconnect the power supply.
Empty the freezer, wrap frozen food in a
blanket and put in a cool place.
●
Insert the supplied pipe into the
groove (the defrost water outlet) in the
bottom of the appliance
●
Place a vessel underneath to collect the
defrost water. Defrosting is accelerated if
the door is left open.
●
Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may
cause damage to the plastic parts and may
be hazardous to health.
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB-
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.
