Loading the fridge
• Allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not
pack food
too closely together in the fridge sections.
The normal storage temperature of the fridge should
be no higher than
+5°C
(
+41°F
) - centre shelf.
We recommend that you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the
storage compartments are kept to the recommended
temperature.
We recommend that food is always covered and not
to store open containers or foodstuffs.
Please remember; each time the door is opened cold
air escapes and the internal temperature rises.
Therefore never leave the door open and always
close it immediately after food is put in or removed.
If the rear wall of the larder fridge is wet - this is
normal, it freezes and then de-frosts.
If ice builds up on the fridge rear wall and doesn’t
appear to defrost as normal: Lower the temperature
control to
1
for a few hours until the ice melts, then
return control to normal setting.
Cold zones;
• Due to natural air circulation there are different
temperature zones in the fridge.
• Cold, heavy air falls to the lower sections of the
appliance.
• The coldest area in the fridge is directly above
the fruit and vegetable drawer and at the back of
the appliance. (Food must not touch the back of
the fridge as it may freeze to the back wall.)
• The warmest area is at the top, in the frontal area
and in the door sections. Use these areas for
storing butter, cheese etc.
Door alarm
An alarm will sound and the interior light will pulse
if the larder fridge door is left open for more than
1 minute.
• Close the door to stop the alarm.
Noises
During the normal operation of the larder fridge
several different types of noises may be heard
including; ‘cracks’, ‘gurgles’ along with the ‘humming’
of the cooling fan. This is perfectly normal.
