1.6 Refrigerator
The refrigerator cooling system functions
only when the appliance is standing up-
right. In any other position the refrigerant
may not be drawn up by the compressor
and the appliance could then be damaged.
For this reason, the refrigerator must always be operated
in an upright position.
During transport, it must be laid down only on the right
hand side, and forwards (viewed from the front).
Having been transported in a tilted position, it must be
allowed to stand upright for at least six (6) hours before it
is allowed to operate (i.e. before it is switched on).
The heat from the cooling unit must be vented off. If cool-
ing is insufficient the cooling efficiency inside the
refrig-
erator
reduces, and the refrigerated goods are insuffi-
ciently cooled. Make sure that sufficient air can circulate
around the cooler and clean the cooling ribs periodically.
Iced up evaporators reduce cooling efficiency and con-
sume more power. Defrost the appliance once the layer
of ice exceeds 3 mm in thickness. To defrost, switch off
the appliance (set the controller to zero). Do not use
sharp objects (such as a knife) to remove the ice layer
mechanically.
When no longer required, the refrigerator must be dis-
posed of in accordance with local waste disposal regula-
tions.
The start-up relay becomes warm when the motor starts.
It must be allowed to cool down before restarting. For this
reason do not switch the refrigerator on and off at short
intervals.
