Operation
Storing Food
To get the best results from your POLAR appliance,
follow these instructions:
• Only store foodstuffs in the appliance when it
has reached the correct operating temperature.
• Do not place uncovered hot food or liquids (like
acidic fluids) inside the appliance (as it can
damage the evaporator).
• Wrap or cover food where possible.
• Do not obstruct the fans inside the appliance.
• Avoid opening the doors for prolonged periods
of time.
• Condensation will form in refrigeration with
frequent opening of the doors and on hot
humid days, please ensure condensation is
allowed to drain properly or is wiped dry.
Note: The appliance is not intended for the
long term storage of food.
Turn On
1. Ensure the power switch is set to [O] and turn
on at the socket.
2. Switch on the Power [I]. The current
temperature within the appliance is displayed.
Control Panel
Set the Operating Temperature
1. Hold the SET button for 3 seconds. The value
of the current set point will be displayed.
2. Press the or buttons to display the
required temperature.
3. Press the SET button to store the temperature.
Manual Defrost
• The appliance will automatically run a defrost
cycle every six hours.
• To manually defrost the appliance: Press
and hold the defrost button “aux” for 2
seconds to begin a manual defrost. The defrost
light illuminates.
• The defrost cycle will end automatically.
Cleaning, Care &
Maintenance
Note: Defrost appliance at least every 3
months, more often if required.
Switch off and disconnect from the power
supply before cleaning.
• Clean the interior of the appliance as often as
possible.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. These
can leave harmful residues.
• Clean the door seal with warm soapy water.
• Always wipe dry after cleaning.
• Do not allow water used in cleaning to run
through the drain hole into the evaporation pan.
• Take care when cleaning the rear of the
appliance. Sharp edges can cut.
Condensation and ice will form with frequent
and prolonged opening of the doors.
Operating outside of the recommend
temperature range and placing next to a
heat source will also increase the amount
of ice and internal/external condensation.
If external condensation occurs wipe the
surface down with a cloth.
Excessive ice will result in longer running
times that will increase energy consumption
and increase the deterioration of
components.
Stainless Steel Care
To maintain the stainless steel exterior of your Polar
item, please consider the following information:
Never:
• Use abrasive Scourers or scrubbing pads, etc.
• Use Chlorinated or acidic detergents
• Allow anything e.g. food, dirt, cleaning
chemicals to remain on the surface for longer
than necessary, clean them off right away.
• Allow the surface to remain wet.
Do:
• Clean often.
• Use soft Cloths or plastic Scourers.
• Rub with the grain of the metal, rather than
across it.
• Use detergents and polish designed for
cleaning Stainless Steel.
• Ensure that the cleaning products are washed
off fully and that the steel is left dry.
