3. Cleaning
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly at intervals, as
necessary. Remove the shelves; these, the
cabinet interior and the door should be washed with a
warm solution of sodium bi-carbonate. Finally wipe
over with a cloth rinsed in warm water only, and dry
with a clean cloth. Do not wash any plastic parts in
water that is more than hand warm, and do not expose
them to dry heat. The outside of the cabinet should be
wiped down regularly with a clean, damp cloth.
NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS OR ABRASIVE
CLEANING MATERIALS ON ANY PART OF THE
CABINET.
4. Positioning the appliance
When first using this refrigerator please consider the
following points:
ENSURE REFRIGERATOR IS LEVEL
THE PIPEWORK AT THE BACK GETS HOT IN USE
THE REFRIGERATOR HAS NO 'MOTOR' AND IS
THEREFORE VIRTUALLY SILENT
ALLOW AT LEAST 3 HRS. FOR SIGNS OF
COOLING
During the refrigeration process, the appliance
gives off heat from the condenser (under the
upper part of the rear cover) into the surrounding air.
The more ventilated the condenser is, the more
effective the refrigeration will be.
The other condition for satisfactory operation is that
the appliance stands on a flat surface. This is best
seen by placing a glass of water on top of the
appliance.
It is important that the appliance is not directly
exposed to radiated heat (sunlight, radiator, near an
oven, etc.).
Please do not place the refrigerator onto thick
carpet!
4.1. Installation instructions
This version is supposed to be freestanding. Cooling
unit room cover protects from the hot parts of the
cooling unit. Foot frame with grilles ensures sufficient
ventilation.
5. Using the appliance
To start the refrigerator connect the plug to the socket
outlet and switch on the socket. The cooling fins
should show signs of cooling after about 1-2 hours
depending on ambiant temperature.
5.1. Initial operation
The device must be plugged into a properly earthed
socket.
The miniCool starts automatically with a self-test.
The LED illuminates after plugging-in several times
and after that continuous light can be seen if the
door is open.
The miniCool achieves its operating temperature
after several hours.
5.2. Temperature regulation
The usual setting required is in the region of the
middle of the thermostat knob (Fig. 6), but this can
vary with conditions of load and installation. If it is
found necessary to alter the setting,the knob can
be turned to a higher symbol to produce a colder
temperature, or a lower symbol to produce a
warmer temperature. The effect of any adjustment
can be checked by means of a thermometer after
leaving the refrigerator operating for a further
period to settle down again.

6. Thermometer
(Fig. 4)
Refer to the separate instruction leaflet supplied
with the thermometer. The thermometer can be
stood up using the attached stand or alternatively it
can be fixed to the refrigerator door, in which case
the sensor wire should be arranged so that it is not
stretched or damaged when the door is opened.
The temperature sensor is located inside the
refrigerator in the upper left corner in front of the
evaporator.
The display will then show the current, maximum
and minimum temperature inside the refrigerator.
After the first pull down of the refrigerator (allow
four hours) please make a "reset" on the
thermometer because otherwise it will keep as
"maximum" the ambient temperature.
If you find lower than +2 °C or even negative
temperature as a minimum on the screen, it must
have occured due to a cutout in the electrical
circuit. In these circumstance's the electronic
thermostat will make a restart and start to cool
down the refrigerator, without monitoring the
refrigerator for 45 minutes. If you reset the
thermometer again (1-2 hours later) and the normal
+2 ... +8 °C is shown then you can be sure that the
medincines have not been damaged or frozen.
The more medicines you store in the refrigerator
then reduces the hazard of freezing, if the unit has
a short period of time undercooling.
We take no responsibility for damage to
vaccines through freezing, if there has been a
cutout in the electricity for a short period of
time.
It is important to reset the thermometer regularly to
ensure that the temperature is maintained between
2 °C and 8 °C.
