Frequently Asked Questions - MTL55W14E MATSUI

How do I adjust the temperature on my Matsui MTL55W14E fridge?

The thermostat control dial has settings 0 to 7, where 7 is the coldest and 0 turns off the unit. For normal room temperature (16°C–38°C), position 4 is recommended. In colder environments (winter), use settings 1–4; in hotter environments, use 5–7. Wait 24 hours after adjustment for the temperature to stabilize.

Why is my fridge making unusual noises?

These noises are normal and caused by the circulation of refrigerant and the compressor motor. Since the use of CFC-free gases, these sounds may be more noticeable but do not indicate a fault. The unit will continue to perform correctly.

How do I defrost the fridge?

The Matsui MTL55W14E features auto defrost. Frost on the inner rear surface automatically defrosts during the compressor’s off cycle. Water drains through a hole into a collection tray above the compressor and evaporates. Regularly check and clean the drain hole to ensure proper drainage.

How do I reverse the door swing?

Reversing the door requires tools (Philips/flat screwdriver and hexagonal spanner). Unplug the unit and empty it. Tilt the unit back, unscrew the top cover and upper hinge, remove the door, then relocate the bottom hinge pin to the opposite side and reassemble. Ensure the door is aligned and seals fully. If unsure, contact a qualified technician.

What are the dimensions and capacity of the MTL55W14E?

The overall dimensions are 550 x 580 x 1430 mm (W x D x H). The fresh food storage compartment has a capacity of 240 liters.

How do I clean the fridge interior?

Remove all shelves and the salad bin. Wipe inside with a weak bicarbonate soda solution, then rinse with warm water using a sponge. Dry completely before replacing parts. For the exterior, use a damp cloth and then apply furniture polish, keeping the door closed to avoid polish on the magnetic seal.

How do I replace the internal light bulb?

Set the thermostat to 0 and disconnect the mains. Use a flat screwdriver to gently pry off the light cover. Unscrew the old bulb (anticlockwise) and replace with a new 10W SES bulb. Refit the cover and reconnect power.

What is the energy consumption of this fridge?

The energy consumption is 0.270 kWh per 24 hours, resulting in 99 kWh per year based on standard tests. Actual consumption varies with usage and ambient temperature. The unit is rated A++ energy class.

Can I store food immediately after plugging in?

No. After moving the unit, wait at least 2 hours before turning it on to let the coolant settle. Once on, wait 24 hours before filling with food to ensure it reaches the correct temperature (average 4°C). Do not overfill.

What should I do if condensation appears on the outside?

Condensation on the exterior is usually due to changes in room temperature. Wipe it off with a dry cloth. If it persists, check door seals or ambient humidity. For ongoing issues, contact a qualified technician.

Cleaning Before Use

Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and salad bin. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.

If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.

• Before Plugging in YOU MUST

Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the unit.

• Before Turning On!

Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant fluid needs time to settle.

Before Using Your Unit

Before placing any food in your unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not be overfilled.

Switching On Your Unit

1. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The internal temperature of your unit is controlled by a thermostat. There are eight settings, of which position 7 is the coldest and position 0 turns the unit off.
2. Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired position, bear in mind that the higher the number, the lower the temperature. Position 4 is the recommended setting when operating at normal room temperature (between 16°C and 38°C).
3. The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or if you open the door often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
5. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold enough and wish to check the temperature, you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available from most supermarkets and hardware shops.

Place the thermometer in the centre of the unit, where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the temperature in the unit should be an average of 5^ C.

Adjusting the Temperature

The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position is between 1 to 4 for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and between 5 to 7 for hotter environments. Please adjust according to the environment.

Noises Inside the Unit!

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!

These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the doors. We recommend that you only open the doors when you need to put food in or take food out.

Cleaning

Defrosting

Frost may accumulate on the inner rear surface of the appliance which will automatically defrost during the off cycle of the compressor.

Water is channelled via the drain hole to the collection tray above the compressor where it will evaporate.

Please ensure the drain hole is checked and cleaned on a regular basis so water can exit the storage compartment.
