Swan Retro Tall Larder Fridge - Energy Class E

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Allow the fridge to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant gases to settle.
2. Placement: Choose a level, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (like ovens or radiators), and excessive moisture. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom to ensure the fridge is perfectly level, which helps with door alignment and efficient operation.
4. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
5. Power On: Plug the fridge into a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. Set the temperature control to your desired setting.

Compatibility:

This larder fridge is designed to integrate into various kitchen layouts, particularly those seeking a freestanding, tall refrigeration unit. Its retro aesthetic makes it a perfect match for kitchens with a vintage, farmhouse, or eclectic design theme. As a larder fridge, it is compatible with households that either do not require a freezer or have a separate standalone freezer unit.

Care:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For the door seal, use a mild solution to keep it pliable and effective. Clean the salad crisper and shelves regularly.
• Defrosting: As a larder fridge, it typically features an automatic defrost system for the main compartment. However, occasionally check for any ice build-up, especially around the back wall, and follow the manufacturer's specific defrosting instructions if necessary.
• Maintenance: Ensure the door seals are clean and intact to maintain energy efficiency. Avoid overloading shelves, as this can impede air circulation.
• Temperature Adjustment: Adjust the internal thermostat as needed, especially during seasonal changes or if the ambient room temperature fluctuates significantly.
