Getting Started
Switching on your new larder
1 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply make sure that the Thermostat Control Dial is set at
position 0. This is located on the right inside of the cabinet.
2 Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to set it to the desired position, bear in mind that the higher the number,
the
colder the temperature.
3 To ensure the appliance is cool enough to sufficiently chill your food wait 24 hours before filling with food.
Adjusting the temperature
The internal temperature of you’re appliance is controlled by a thermostat. Position 7 makes the appliances coldest.
Position 1 makes it the warmest and 0 turns the appliance Off. The recommended setting for the appliance is be-
tween 1 and 4 for colder working environments. (ie. during Winter) and 5-6 for hotter environments. The appliance
may not operate correctly if it is in a particularly hot or cold room or if the door is opened often.
Noises inside the new larder!
If you have not owned an appliance before, you may notice that it makes some rather unusual noises.
Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more
pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your
appliance.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Is the New Larder cold enough?
If you are at all concerned that your appliance is not being kept cold enough, or you occasionally wish to check
the temperature, you can purchase a Fridge/Larder thermometer. These are available from most supermarkets and
hardware shops. Place the thermometer in the coldest part of your appliance (located at the back for the larder,
below the shelf), where it can be easily read. Leave overnight; the correct temperature should be between 0ºC and
5ºC.
See ‘Adjusting the temperature’.
Shopping for chilled foods
Don’t buy it in your lunch hour!
Unless you have an appliance at work to keep the food cold in the afternoon, leaving food in your car or at room
temperature for a prolonged period of time could raise food temperature to dangerous level allowing harmful
bacteria to grow.
Keep chilled foods together
Try to keep chilled food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to maintain the cold-
ness of the food.
