Frequently Asked Questions - SR11010ON SWAN

How to adjust the temperature?

Turn the thermostat dial inside the fridge. Settings from 1 (warmest) to 7 (coldest). Recommended setting is 3-4 for normal use.

Why is my fridge not cooling?

Check if the power cord is plugged in and the thermostat is not set to 0. Ensure the door closes properly and the condenser coils are clean. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize after initial setup.

How to defrost the fridge?

Unplug the fridge and remove all food. Leave the door open to allow ice to melt. Do not use sharp objects to scrape ice. Clean and dry before plugging back in.

What should I do if the door won't close properly?

Check if the fridge is level (adjust front feet). Remove any items blocking the door. Ensure the door gasket is clean and not damaged.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Refer to the manual for step-by-step instructions. You will need a screwdriver and possibly an assistant.

How often should I clean the condenser coils?

Clean the coils at least twice a year using a vacuum or soft brush. This improves energy efficiency and prolongs the appliance life.

Why is there water pooling inside?

This is normal during defrost cycles or if the door is opened frequently. Check that the drain hole at the back is not blocked. Clean with a pipe cleaner if needed.

What does the noise level 42 dB mean?

42 dB is similar to a quiet conversation. The fridge may make occasional clicking (compressor) or gurgling (refrigerant) sounds. Contact support if loud or persistent unusual noises occur.

How to save energy with this fridge?

Place the fridge away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Allow hot food to cool before storing. Keep the door closed as much as possible. Ensure the door seal is tight.

2. When using the refrigerator for the first time, set the thermostat inside the refrigerator to 5 without any food inside. When the refrigerator starts, you will hear the quiet hum of the compressor. You may also hear the circulation of liquids and gases in the refrigeration system. This is normal on first start up, Generally it will take 2-3 hours for the appliance to reach temperature. Once temperature has been reached then put the food inside.

Food Storage Tips

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

Dairy and multi-purpose Guard

• Store fatty foods, like butter and cheese.
• Store small, packed foods, like milk, yogurt and beverages.

Refrigerator compartment: 1°C to 5°C

This is the area where the food should be stored to be kept cold/chilled:

• Note: raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped
  • pre-cooked chilled foods
• pre-cooked meats
• prepared salads, desserts, homemade products, and leftovers

Vegetable Drawer/Crisper

• This is the part of the refrigerator has higher humidity.
• Vegetables, fruit, fresh salads should be stored in this compartment.

Wire Wine Rack

For storing bottled liquids. Always ensure lids are air tight and sealed properly.

Notes:

• Always place raw meat, fish and poultry on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator.
- Ensure that food is well-wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing flavour and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent cross-flavouring.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Above freezer shelf

• Store food in small portions
• Seal food in containers with lids, in plastic wrap or in plastic bags to prevent drying and the mingling of odors.

Below freezer shelf

Wrapping food

• Pack the food in suitably sized portions for your household.
• Vegetable and fruit portions should be no heavier than 1 kg, while meat portions can be up to 2.5 kg.
• Smaller portions freeze through more quickly and the quality is thereby maintained better when defrosting and preparing the food.
• It is important to seal food in airtight bags or containers before freezing to prevent it from losing favor or dehydrating.
• Wrap the food, press out any air and seal it airtight.

Suitable wrapping materials:

- Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and freezer containers. These items are available from any dealer.

Unsuitable wrapping materials:

- Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags.

Suitable sealing materials:

• Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer tape or similar.
• Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed using a special sealing iron or press.

Before placing a package in the freezer, it should be clearly labelled with the contents and date of freezing.

Cleaning & Maintenance

DAILY CLEANING

The outside of your refrigerator can be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry with kitchen towel.

Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners on any part of your refrigerator as these could permanently damage or discolour the surfaces.

INTERNAL CLEANING

Wipe up any internal spills immediately with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Dry thoroughly.

SHELVES AND GUARDS

The Dairy guards, and shelves can be removed and cleaned separately. However, we don't recommend cleaning the transparent plastic parts in a dishwasher because the high temperatures can dull the plastic over time.

DOOR SEALS

Ensure that the door seals are kept free from debris at all times. If they don't seal properly this can waste energy and cause excessive ice build-up

DRAIN HOLE AND CLEANING TOOL

There is a small drain hole at the back of the refrigerator cabinet. There is also a small cleaning tool in the hole. Use the tool to clear the drain hole when necessary. Do not allow foodstuff to clog this hole

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

From time to time, it may be necessary to perform more extensive cleaning to keep your refrigerator in top condition and to maintain energy efficiency.

Before performing any of these maintenance steps, switch off your refrigerator and remove the plug from the mains socket. Allow the freezer section to defrost thoroughly.

EVAPORATOR TRAY

At the other side of the drain hole in the refrigerator cabinet, there is a small plastic tray that sits on top of the compressor. This should be removed and cleaned thoroughly from time to time to prevent unpleasant odours.

Take care when moving the refrigerator not to damage the cooling matrix or tilt the appliance more than 45 degrees.

After maintenance, replace any shelves etc and reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.

Troubleshooting

1. If the refrigerator does not run:

Check the supply voltage is available at the socket and check that the power plug is correctly connected.

2. If the refrigerator does not become cold enough:

a. is the thermostat is set too low? (setting 1 is warmest setting 7 is coldest)
b. is there enough space around the refrigerator?
c. is the door is opened too frequently or not closed properly? [check seals].
d. is there direct sun shine on the appliance or are there heat sources nearby?
e. is there too much food inside the compartment?
f. is there dust and debris built up on cooling matrix or compressor?

3. Food is freezing or too cold in refrigerator compartment:

a. There is too little food in the refrigerator
b. Thermostat is set too high

4. If the refrigerator operates noisily:

a. Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level floor. Adjust the feet if necessary. The refrigerator is too near the wall
b. The food stored in the refrigerator is not touching - particularly applies to bottles.
The refrigerator creates very slight vibrations, which can be amplified greatly with touching bottles!

Note:

During high relative humidity environment, condensation may occur on the surface of the refrigerator. This is not a malfunction. Simply clean the surface of condensation.

If the refrigerator is not working properly after all these checks, contact the service center without further delay.
