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 500mm 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 fridge, 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 fridge
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.
› The adjustable front legs should be stabilised at an
appropriate height to allow your fridge to operate in a
stable and proper way. You can adjust the legs by turning
them clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should
be done before placing food in the fridge.
› Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with
black vanes at the rear) by turning it 90° as shown in the figure to prevent the condenser
from touching the wall.
› Your fridge 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.
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.
