7. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment). Important Note : Ice formation at the back is normal, do not worry. (See Defrosting) DEFROSTING The larder fridge defrosts 2 automatically. The defrosting water runs to the drain tube via a collection channel and is evaporated in a special container (1) at the back of the appliance (see diagram). During defrosting water droplets may form at the back of the larder fridge where 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, forks to remove the droplets which have refrozen. 1 If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure 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 (2). 10 CLEANING AND CARE ** We recommend that you switch off the larder refrigerator at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning. ** Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning. ** Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the refrigerator and wipe it dry. ** 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. ** Make sure that no water enters the temperature control box. ** If the larder refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar. ** Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles. ** Never : • Subject it to hot temperatures in any way, • Scour, rub etc., with abrasive material. ** Removal of door tray : • To remove a door tray, remove all the contents and then simply push the door tray upwards from the base. 11 REPLACING THE INTERIOR LIGHT BULB (See diagram) Should the light fail to work switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Follow the instructions below to check if the light bulb has worked itself loose. If the light still fails to work obtain a replacement E14 screw cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your local electrical store and then fit it as follows: 1. Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. You may find it useful to remove shelves for easy access. 2. Remove the light diffuser cover as shown in figure (b-c). 3. Replace the burnt-out light bulb. 4. Reassemble the light diffuser cover as shown in figure (d). “Push firmly to ensure cover is fitted properly.” 5. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.

Do- Keep raw meat and poultry below cooked food and dairy products. Do- Keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere to 'Best Before' and "Use By" dates. Do- Take off any unusable leaves on vegetables and wipe off any soil. Do- Leave lettuce, cabbage, parsley and cauliflower on the stem. Do- Wrap cheese firstly in greaseproof paper and then in a polythene bag excluding as much air as possible. For best results take out of the refrigerator compartment an hour before eating. Do- Wrap raw meat and poultry loosely in polythene or aluminium foil. This prevents drying. Do- Wrap fish and offal in polythene bags.
