This document provides installation and user instructions for the Belling BLF600 Fully Integrated Larder refrigerator, emphasizing safety, proper usage, and maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
The Belling BLF600 is a fully integrated larder refrigerator designed for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks in a domestic household setting. It operates with a compressor-based refrigeration system, utilizing non-CFC/HFC natural substances (R600a) in the cooling system and cyclopentane in the insulation, making it environmentally friendly. The appliance features adjustable shelves, door sections, and crisper bins for organized storage of various food items. It includes a thermostat for temperature control, allowing users to adjust the internal temperature to suit their needs. The larder fridge defrosts automatically, with defrost water draining into a collection channel and evaporating from a special container at the back of the appliance.
Before initial use, the appliance requires proper installation and a preliminary check. It must be transported in an upright position, or if laid horizontally, only on its left-hand side, and allowed to stand for at least 4 hours before switching on to allow compressor oil to settle. The appliance should be connected to a suitable switched and fused socket, ensuring the voltage and frequency match the rating plate. The feet must be adjusted for perfect leveling to prevent excessive vibration and noise.
The thermostat controls the operating temperature, with settings ranging from 1 to 5, where 5 is the coldest. For initial use, it's recommended to set the thermostat to 3 and monitor the temperature to ensure it reaches an average of no higher than +5°C (+41°F) within 24 hours. Adjustments can be made between 1 and 5 to achieve the desired temperature, with higher settings resulting in colder temperatures. Frequent door opening can cause internal temperatures to rise, so it's advised to close the door as soon as possible after use. In cases of temporary ice build-up, the thermostat setting can be reduced to 1 until the ice disappears and normal auto-defrosting resumes, after which the setting can be increased if needed.
Food storage guidelines are provided to optimize results and hygiene. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight containers on removable shelves. Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on shelves, while fruits and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in crisper bins. Bottles can be placed in the door sections. Raw meat should be wrapped in polythene bags and placed on the lowest shelf, ensuring it does not come into contact with cooked food to avoid contamination, and should not be stored for more than two to three days. Shelves incorporate rear stops and can be tilted for storing bottles by placing the back of the shelf one level below the front. All food should be packed, wrapped, or covered, and hot food and beverages must be cooled before being placed in the fridge. Explosive substances and high-proof alcohol (which must be stored upright in sealed containers) should not be stored in the refrigerator. Certain fruits and vegetables, such as pineapples, melons, cucumbers, and tomatoes, can suffer damage near 0°C and should be wrapped in polythene bags. All shelves, racks, crisper bins, dairy compartments, drawers, and bottle grippers are removable for convenience.
The appliance is designed to be fully integrated into furniture. Detailed step-by-step instructions are provided for installation, including dimensions for the furniture niche and guidance on fixing the appliance securely. The height of the product can be adjusted using the adjustable feet to fit the furniture niche. The door can be repositioned to open from the opposite side, with clear instructions and diagrams for unscrewing hinges, removing stoppers, and reattaching them to the desired side.
Regular cleaning and care are essential for maintaining the appliance's performance and hygiene. Before cleaning, the larder refrigerator should be switched off at the socket outlet and the mains plug pulled out. Sharp instruments, abrasive substances, soap, household cleaners, detergents, or wax polish should never be used for cleaning. The cabinet should be cleaned with lukewarm water and wiped dry. The interior can be cleaned with a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water, then wiped dry. Care must be taken to prevent water from entering the temperature control box.
If the larder refrigerator will not be used for an extended period, it should be switched off, all food removed, cleaned, and the door left ajar. Door seals should be checked regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles. Abrasive materials should not be used on the appliance, nor should it be exposed to hot temperatures.
The automatic defrosting system handles ice formation at the back of the larder fridge. Defrost water runs to a drain tube and evaporates. If defrost water does not drain, the drain tube may be blocked by food particles. A special plastic plunger is provided to clear the drain tube. Pointed or sharp-edged objects should not be used to remove refrozen droplets from the liner.
The interior light bulb can be replaced if it fails to work. First, switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug. Shelves may need to be removed for easier access. The light diffuser cover can then be removed, the burnt-out bulb replaced with an E14 screw cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb, and the diffuser cover reassembled, ensuring it is fitted properly. The old bulb should be disposed of carefully.
Troubleshooting steps are provided for common issues, such as the appliance not operating. Users should check if the plug is properly inserted, the power supply is on, the fuse/circuit breaker is intact, the temperature control is set correctly, and if a new plug was wired correctly. If issues persist after these checks, users are advised to contact Belling's authorized service agent.
