Before installation

Measure the width of the kitchen entrance through which the refrigerator must pass. If it will not

pass through easily without risking damage, then its doors should be removed to reduce the width

and allow free passage. Once the unit is in position the doors can be re-fitted.

• Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner.

• Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally suffocating.

• If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your dealer, who will

take the necessary corrective action.

Water requirements

Please Note:

• The ice maker requires a minimum water pressure of

3kg/cm². If a 180cm² cup can be filled within 10 sec-

onds, the water pressure is sufficient.

• Should the water pressure be too low, an additional

pressure pump may be installed by a qualified plumber.

• The water tube must be connected to a threaded cold

water tap.

• Ensure that the water tubes are installed away from any

hot surfaces such as stoves or heaters.

• Use sealing tape on every pipe/tube connection to en-

sure a leak free installation.

Water Supply Kit.

Check that all the parts below have been

supplied.

Any additional parts which may be re-

quired may be purchased from your local

hardware store.

Installing the filter

• The water filter is designed to filter out contaminants but

does not filter out bacteria or microbes.

• Install the filter along the water tube and where it will be

easily accessible for routine maintenance.

• The water tube must be cut at a right angle at the filter

location point.

• Connect the water tubes to the filter as shown leaving

sufficient slack so as not to strain the joins.

• Tighten all the joints, open the tap and ensure that there

are no leaks.

• The filter life depends on the amount of use and pollut-

ant present in the water. It is recommended that the filter

be replaced every six months.

• After the installation of the refrigerator and water supply

tubes, select and continue pressing WATER on the con-

trol panel for 2 to 3 minutes to fill the water storage tank

in the refrigerator.

Food storage tips

Freezer

• Wash food before storing it.

• Operate the freezer for 12 hours before loading it.

• If you are loading bulk into the freezer, load one quarter at a time and allow to freeze before loading

the next quarter.

• Divide food into reasonable portions according to your requirements.

• Allow hot food to cool before putting it in the freezer.

• Seal all foods, or place in airtight containers to prevent dehydration.

• Do not exceed the expiry date shown on food packs. Some foods cannot be stored for extended

periods.

Refrigerator

• Place watery foods to the front of the shelves, nearer the door and away from the cold air outlet

where they could freeze.

• Be aware that tropical fruit like bananas can easily deteriorate if the storage temperature is too low.

• Allow sufficient space between stored foods for air to circulate.

• Do not store fresh vegetables in the top crisper compartment, in the Chilled mode, as they could

freeze in the colder temperature.

Caution

• To avoid the risk of cold burn, do not touch or hold frozen foods or metal containers with wet hands.

• Do not store medicine or academic research samples which require strict temperature control in the

refrigerator.

• Remember, liquids can increase in volume when frozen. Do not store sealed bottles, jars or cans in

the freezer as the contents may freeze, expand and rupture the container.

• Never pour or spray water into the refrigerator and do not store liquids, pot plants or open containers

on top of the refrigerator as these might spill causing electrical shorting.

• Do not allow children to hang on the refrigerator doors as the unit could topple forward risking per-

sonal injury.

• Do not store or use flammable gas, benzene, petrol or volatile substances in or near the refrigerator.

• Unplug the refrigerator when cleaning, during routine maintenance or if it will not be used for an ex-

tended period.

• When discarding an old refrigerator please render the doors inoperative as children ,while playing,

might get trapped inside and suffocate.

Page 11

Crispers

• There are two crisper drawers.

• The top crisper has a temperature control knob

offering Chilled or Vegetable storage. Turn

the knob to the desired setting.

• The Chilled setting is somewhat colder than

that of the Vegetable setting.

• Do not place foods close to the cold air outlet

as this could restrict the air flow.

CHILLED

VEGETABLE

The ice dispenser

• The dispenser can deliver chilled water, ice cubes or crushed ice .

• Press the relevant pad to select the desired option.

• The relevant LED (light emitting diode) will light up, confirming your selection.

• Press a glass against the dispenser switch pad and the selected option will be dispensed into the glass

1 to 2 seconds later.

• A snapping sound will be heard about 2 seconds after the dispensing of ice cubes commences. This is

normal and emanates from the shut-off valve.

• Withdraw the glass from the switch pad but wait 2 to 3 seconds to catch any residuals before remov-

ing it completely.

• Avoid using thin fragile glasses when dispensing cubes or crushed ice as they might crack.

• Never insert your fingers or any other object into the dispenser outlet.

• If the ice cubes are discoloured, call a service technician.

• The selection options automatically revert to Water one hour after the dispensing of cubed or

crushed ice.

The automatic ice maker

• About 80 ice cubes are made every day. These are made 10 at a time in 7 to eight daily cycles.

• Ice making stops automatically when the storage container is full.

• It is normal to hear a banging noise when the ice cubes are released from the maker and fall into the

container.

• It is advisable to clean the container regularly to prevent odours from forming.

• Ice will only be dispensed if the container is full and if the cubes are not stuck together.

• If the amount of water supplied to the ice maker requires adjusting, call a service technician.

• In the event of a lengthy power failure, the accumulated ice in the storage container might melt and

overflow into the cabinet. Empty the storage container and replace it.

Page 12

Care and cleaning

• Always disconnect the plug from the mains socket before cleaning the appliance.

• Clean the inside of the appliance whenever necessary using a solution of warm water and Bicar-

bonate of Soda. ( 1 table spoon to 2 litres of water ).

• Dry with a soft cloth.

• Do not use pot scourers or abrasive powders to clean the appliance.

• Do not use benzine, thinners or any volatile cleaners to clean any part of the refrigerator

• Spillages, especially citric and acidic juices, must be wiped up immediately as they could stain the

product.

• A mild furniture polish may be used on the exterior cabinet to add lustre and protect against finger

marks.

• Shelves, freezer drawers, crispers, door bins, dispenser spill grill, and the ice storage container

may be carefully removed for cleaning purposes. Use a mild liquid detergent and water and dry

with a soft lint free cloth.

• The dispenser spill grill is not self draining and should be removed and cleaned regularly.

• To remove the ice storage container, pull the container assembly up and out. To replace, align

the container with the side grooves and push it home. If this proves difficult, rotate the swirl

coil in the container a quarter turn and try again.

Page 14

Questions and answers

Why do the front and sides of the refrigerator feel

warm? Heating tubes are located beneath the surface to

prevent condensation on a cold surface.

Why are the doors sometimes difficult to open? When the door is closed and opened immediately

thereafter, warm air which entered the refrigerator

caused a pressure difference which tends to suck

the door closed momentarily. Wait a little while

and the door should open easily once more.

Why does the refrigerator sometimes make a pecu-

liar gurgling, buzzing or cracking noise.? This is normal and could be caused by the com-

pressor, the defrost system, the fan, and material

shrinkage / expansion.

Levelling the refrigerator may reduce these sounds.

Why does moisture form on the interior walls and

lamp housing? If the refrigerator or freezer is located in a hot and

humid area, and the door is opened frequently, wa-

ter droplets or dew may form on the interior walls

of the appliance.

This has no effect on the performance and the wa-

ter may simply be wiped up using an absorbent

cloth.

Why is the refrigerator too warm or too cold? Set the freezer and refrigerator temperatures to a

more suitable setting.

Before calling a service technician to assist with a problem, please check:

• Are the temperatures set correctly?

• Is the power switched OFF? The power should be ON.

• Has a house fuse blown or a circuit tripped out? Repair or re-set as necessary.

• Is the 15-amp plug pushed firmly into the wall socket? Check another appliance such as a toaster or

kettle in the same socket.

• Has the door been left open? Close the door and monitor performance.

• Is there adequate provision for airflow at the rear of the unit.?

• Are any of the shelves so tightly packed as to obstruct air flow between stored foods?

Remember that you may be charged for a service call, even during the warranty period, if the fault is

caused by any of the above.

If you have followed the instructions and still have a problem, contact the nearest Defy Service

Centre. They will be able to advise you on any aspect of the machine or send a qualified technician

to repair it.
