Frequently Asked Questions - TB090FF Tricity Bendix

How do I adjust the temperature on my Tricity Bendix TB090FF?

The thermostat control is located in the control panel and marked from 1 to 5. A setting of 3-4 is usually suitable for normal operation. The higher the number, the colder the setting. Position '0' turns the appliance off.

What should I do if the freezer is not cold enough?

Check that the thermostat is set correctly, the door is not left open, and the air ventilation is not obstructed. Also ensure the ambient temperature is within 16-32°C. If the room temperature is below 16°C, enable the low ambient temperature switch.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

The freezer should be defrosted when the frost layer reaches about 4 mm (1/4 inch). For complete defrosting, do it once or twice a year when the appliance is empty.

Can I reverse the door on my TB090FF?

Yes, the door can be reversed. Follow the detailed instructions in the manual: disconnect power, lay the appliance on its back, remove grille and hinges, swap door to opposite side, and reassemble. Ensure the door gasket seals properly after reversal.

What type of light bulb does the fridge use?

The refrigerator uses a 230 V, 15 W bulb with an E14 thread. Spare bulbs are available from your local Tricity Bendix Service Force Centre.

Why is my appliance making unusual noises?

Normal sounds include gurgling (refrigerant flow), whirring (compressor), and a click (thermostat switching). If the noise is excessive, check that the appliance is level on the floor. Adjust the front feet if needed.

How do I clean the interior and exterior?

For interior cleaning, use warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Never use detergents, abrasive powders, or perfumed products. For the exterior, wash with warm soapy water. Dust the condenser and compressor at the back once or twice a year.

What should I do during a power failure?

Keep the door closed. If the power is off for a short time, food in the freezer will remain frozen. If food begins to thaw, consume it quickly and do not refreeze. Refer to the manual's guidelines for specific food types.

Can I store carbonated drinks in the freezer?

No, do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as they can burst when the contents freeze. Also avoid storing containers with flammable gases or liquids.

What is the recommended storage time for frozen food?

Always adhere to the manufacturer's recommended storage times on the packaging. The manual provides a storage chart for various foods. Lean food keeps better than fatty food, and salt reduces storage time. Wrap food airtight to maintain quality.

Using the Appliance

This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs.

The appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 16 °C and 32 °C.

If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. Should the ambient temperatures be exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer section will rise above -18 °C and food spoilage may occur.

Before Use

Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or products containing alcohol.

To Start the Appliance

1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after installation.
2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
3. Turn the thermostat control to the required setting. A setting of 3 - 4 is usually suitable for normal operation (see thermostat control).
4. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.

Temperature Control

The thermostat control situated in the control panel regulates the temperature both within the fridge and freezer compartments. The thermostat control is marked from 1-5, the higher the number, the colder the setting.

Position „0” - Off

Position 1 - Cold

Position 5 - Coldest

The temperature will be affected by:

• Ambient temperature
  • How often the door is opened
  • How much food is stored
• Position of the appliance

Simple line drawing of a mechanical component with a circular dial and arrow indicating rotation (no text or symbols)

In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.

Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

Low Ambient Temperature Switch

The low ambient temperature switch, situated on the right hand side of the panel at the top of the appliance, should be switched on when the room temperature falls below 16 °C.

When the room temperature rises above 16 °C switch off, by releasing the switch. No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in this position for a period of time.

The Refrigerator

Below is the recommended storage positions for various food types:

1. Ready-cooked foods, fresh meat, cold cuts.
2. Milk, dairy products.
3. Fruits, vegetables, salads.
4. Cheese, butter.
5. Eggs.
6. Yoghurt, sour cream.
7. Small bottles, drinks.
8. Large bottles, drinks.

Storage Shelves

The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow for the storage of large items.

To re-arrange the shelves, open the door to 90°.

Storage Times

The storage charts at the end of the instruction book give information on storage times in the freezer and refrigerator compartments. The storage times quoted are intended as a guide only.

• Do not cover the shelves with paper or trays etc. as this will affect the air circulation within the refrigerator compartment.
• Do not put hot foods in the refrigerator, allow hot foods to reach room temperature naturally before placing in the refrigerator.
• Cover foods, or place in closed dishes before placing them in the refrigerator, this prevents any transference of food smells.

The Freezer

When freezing fresh food always place the food in the freezing compartment which is the top drawer in the freezer section.

1. Turn the thermostat control to 5 (max).
2. Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer.
3. After 24 hours reset the thermostat control to its normal setting and place the frozen food into the storage compartments.

Frozen Food Storage

When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn.

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and Tips)

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature, depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

To-Make Ice Cubes

1. Fill the ice cube tray 34 full with cold water, place in the freezing compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.

Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment by using pointed rp edged objects.

i Hints & Tips

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out.

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your freezer:

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid.
• Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home, place the frozen food in the freezer immediately.
• Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.
• Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time.
• Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal.
• Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage times indicated by the manufacturer.

Energy Saving Advice

- Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator.

• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.
• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.
• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you:

Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used up.

Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.

Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be refrozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a fresh dish.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

When the Appliance is not in Use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door open to prevent unpleasant smells.

Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator defrosts every time the compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance above the compressor, where it evaporates.

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the refrigerator compartment, behind the salad drawers. Use the defrost cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole.

Remember to wash to defrost cleaner in hot soapy water at regular intervals. Dry thoroughly before replacing.

Freezer

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost reaches 14 .

During this operation it is not necessary to switch of the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty.

For complete defrosting (once or twice a year) proceed as follows:

1 Turn the thermostat dial to the "OFF" position (O) or disconnect the appliance from the mains.
2 Remove any food from inside the freezer and fridge; wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool, dry place.
3 When defrosting is complete, dry the interior thorough.
4 Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset the thermostat to 5 (coldest) and leave to run for at least four hours.
5 Replace the previously removed food.
6 Return the thermostat to the normal position.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as this could damage the appliance beyond repair.

Change the Light Bulb

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply or turn the thermostat to '0'.
2. Take the lamp cover off in the direction of the arrow and change the bulb. (Type of bulb: 230 V, 15 W, E 14 thread)
3. Replace the lamp cover and fixing screw.
   Spare bulbs are available from your local Tricity Bendix Service Force Centre.

Installing the appliance

Transportation, unpacking

The appliance and the interior fitting are protected for transport.

• Remove all packaging and any adhesive tape.
• Any remnants of adhesive can be removed using white spirit.
• After transportation the appliance must not be switched on for 2 hours. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Cleaning

Clean the accessories and the inside of the appliance with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litres of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol.

Location

The appliance should be positioned in a well ventilated, dry room.

Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature.

The appliance should therefore:

• not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat
• only be installed at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.

The climate classification can be found on the rating plate.

The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:

Climate Classification	Ambient Temperature
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
ST +18 to +38 °C
