VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
The main consideration when installing
a refrigeration product into a cabinet is
ventilation. The heat removed from the
appliance needs to be dissipated into the
room. Failure to correctly ventilate the
product can result in increased running
costs and premature failure. It will also
invalidate the guarantee provided with
the appliance.
An air intake in the plinth is required to
allow for the correct air flow (recommended
500mm x 40mm). If preferred a decorative
stainless steel plinth grille is available,
product code: GRILL/ SENSE600.
This can be purchased from your retailer or
www.caple.co.uk.
To ensure the correct operation of the
appliance it is important the top of the
housing is not blocked off. The top of
the cabinet needs to be vented into the
room,the recommended minimum size of
the vent opening is 500 x 40mm.
There should also be space at the rear
of the cabinet to allow the cool air to be
drawn over the condenser. This should also
be at least 540mm x 40mm. The more air
available to circulate the product, the more
efficiently it will operate.
NOTE:
Installation instructions are supplied with the appliance in a separate document. Only the solid
metal fixing bracket is included (part 1a) for installation.

USING THE APPLIANCE
› Before using your appliance, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon of
sodium bicarbonate. Then, rinse with clean water and dry. Return all parts to the appliance
after cleaning.
› Remove all transport tapes and foam protection pieces. Clean the interior with a cloth
dampened in lukewarm soap and water. Rinse with clean water and dry.
› Your appliance may have an odour when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and
the odour will fade when your fridge starts to cool.
› When the appliance has been positioned, adjust the feet to ensure the unit is stable. This is
essential to ensure quiet running and proper door opening/closing.
WARNING:
Connect to the electrical socket but do not switch the power to the refrigerator on for at least
12 hours. The coolant within the product needs time to settle after it has been transported and
put into position, failure to do this will affect the cooling performance of your appliance.

17Instruction manual Ri7320Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
FROST FREE TECHNOLOGY
Frost Free refrigerators have a different operating
system to static refrigerators.
In normal (static) fridges, the humidity entering the
fridge due to opening the door, and the humidity
inherent in the food, causes frost build-up in the
freezer compartment.
To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer
compartment, you are required to periodically switch
off the fridge, place the frozen food in a separate
cooled container, then remove the ice gathered in
the freezer compartment. The situation is completely
different in Frost free fridges.
A built-in fan blows dry and cold air evenly
throughout the cooler and freezer compartments.
The cold air disperses uniformly between the
shelves, ensuring all your food is cooled equally,
thus preventing humidity and frost build-up.
Therefore, your Frost free fridge allows ease of use,
in addition to its huge capacity and
stylish appearance.
