Frequently Asked Questions - LSD185W19E Logik

What should I do before using the fridge freezer for the first time?

Before first use, clean the interior with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and rinse with warm water. Wait at least 2 hours after moving the unit before turning it on. Then wait 24 hours for the unit to reach the correct temperature before adding food.

How do I adjust the temperature on my Logik LSD185W19E?

The temperature is controlled by a thermostat dial with 8 settings (0 is off, 7 is coldest). Position 4 is recommended for normal room temperature (16°C to 38°C). Adjust higher for hot environments (6-7) and lower for cold environments (1-2).

Can I reverse the door swing?

Yes, the door swing can be reversed. The manual provides detailed steps. It requires a Philips screwdriver, flat bladed screwdriver, and hexagonal spanner. We recommend contacting a qualified technician for door reversal unless you are experienced.

How do I use the integrated water dispenser?

Ensure the water tank is securely in place. Open the lid on the water tank balcony and fill to the MAX level. Close the lid. Place a cup under the dispenser outlet and gently push the lever. After use, small drips are normal and collect in the overflow tray, which should be emptied periodically.

How often should I clean the water tank?

Clean the water tank if it has not been used for 48 hours. Also clean it before first use. Remove the water tank balcony and water tank, wash all parts with detergent, rinse thoroughly, and reattach. Replace the rubber ring inside the tank valve if worn.

What should I do if frost builds up in the freezer?

Defrost when the frost layer reaches 10 mm. Remove food, turn off the unit, and leave the door open. Scrape frost with a plastic scraper (do not use metal or sharp tools). To speed up, place a bowl of hot water inside the freezer and close the door. After defrosting, clean and dry thoroughly.

What are the recommended temperature guidelines for food storage?

The fridge compartment should be below 4°C, and the freezer at -18°C or lower. Store raw meat on the lowest shelf, dairy on middle, ready-to-eat foods on top. Fruits and vegetables go in the crisper bin. Do not store bananas, onions, potatoes, or garlic in the fridge.

What does the alarm or unusual noise mean?

Noises from the circulation of refrigerant and the compressor are normal. These have become more pronounced with CFC-free gases. The noise is not a fault and does not affect performance.

How do I clean the fridge freezer?

Remove shelves and drawers. Wipe interior with a weak bicarbonate soda solution, then rinse with warm water. Clean exterior with a damp cloth and furniture polish. Vacuum the condenser grille at the back with a soft brush attachment. Do not use electrical appliances inside the unit.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Keep ventilation openings clear. Do not use mechanical devices to defrost. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit (combustible gas). Ensure children do not play with the unit. Do not store explosive substances or glass bottles in the freezer. For disposal, break off locks and remove doors.

Location

When selecting a position for your unit, you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 38°C. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g., cooker, boiler, or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight, as it may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.

Levelling the Unit

To do this, adjust the two levelling feet at the front of the unit. If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will not be covered properly.

Free Space Requirements

When installing the unit, ensure that 25 mm of free space is left at both sides, 50 mm at the rear of the unit, and 25 mm at the top of the unit. The door can be opened to the right or the left, depending on which best suits the location.

Please ensure there is more than twice the width and depth distance space of the unit to fully open the door to a maximum angle.

Reversing the Door Swing

Tools required: Philips style screwdriver / Flat bladed screwdriver / Hexagonal spanner

• Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.
• To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the unit on something solid, e.g. a chair just below the top panel.
• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.
• Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.
• We recommend that 2 people handle the unit during assembly.
• If you want to have the door swing reversed, we recommend that you contact a qualified technician. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe that you are qualified to do so.
• Remove the hinge cover and top hinge. Lift the upper door and place it on a padded surface to prevent it from scratching.

1. Remove the pin with a screwdriver and flip the hinge bracket. Then refit the pin to the hinge bracket.

1. Remove the top left screw cover.

INSTALLATION

1. Take off the middle hinge by removing the screws. Lift the lower door and place it on a padded surface to prevent it from scratching.

1. Move the hinge hole covers from left side to right side.

1. Remove the lower screws, hinge bracket and levelling feet from the unit bottom.

• Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.
• During door reversal, when swapping the position of the bottom hinge or adjusting the levelling feet, tilt the unit. Do not lay the unit flat.
• Unscrew and remove the bottom hinge pin, turn the bracket over and replace it.

Unscrew Screw

INSTALLATION

1. Refit the levelling feet, hinge bracket and lower screws to the opposite side.

1. After replacing the lower door, reverse the middle hinge 180° then screw the middle hinge back onto the opposite side of the unit.

Ensure the freezer door is aligned horizontally and vertically, so that the seals are closed on all sides before finally tightening the hinge.

1. Carefully set the upper door back into place. Ensure the fridge door is aligned horizontally and vertically so that the seals are closed on all sides before finally tightening the top hinge. Screw the other hinge cover.

1. Fix the screw cover to the opposite side. Re-adjust the levelling feet as needed.

In some cases, the door seal may be crushed after prolonged storage pressure, resulting in the door seal not being able to close properly when reversed.

Follow the steps below to solve the issue:

1. Peel off the door seal from the upper or lower corner and warm it with a hairdryer; the warmth can allow the door seal to return to its original form. Do not blow directly on the unit as the warmth may damage other parts of the unit.
2. Rotate the door seal upside down so that the side originally with the hinge stays with the hinge.
3. Insert the door seal back into the door from the upper or lower corner.
4. If the issue still occurs, contact your local service centre for assistance.

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

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 doors often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill and freeze 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 either the fridge or freezer compartment and leave overnight. The correct temperature for the fridge compartment should be lower than 4°C. The correct temperature for the freezer compartment should be -18°C or lower.

Adjusting the Temperature

The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position is between 1 to 2 for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and between 6 to 7 for hotter ambient 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 it 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.

Preparations for Freezing

• Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes faster, takes less time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better.
• Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible.
• Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it.
• Don't freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave it straight from the freezer.
• Use special freezer bags, freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, and aluminium foil (heavy duty grade only). If in doubt, double wrap your food. Don't use aluminium foil for acidic foods, e.g. citrus fruits. Don't use thin cling film, glass, or uncleaned used food containers.
• Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.

- Leave a small amount of air space when freezing liquids to allow expansion.

- You can use the space in the freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, e.g. stew) in square blocks. This is known as "Preforming". Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it, and then remove it from the container and seal the bag.

- Label your frozen foods as they will look the same when in frozen state. Use special fridge freezer tapes, labels and pens with different colours. This allows you to easily organise and to effectively use the freezer. Write the contents and date; otherwise the frozen food might exceed the storage time and this could cause food poisoning. Please refer to your food packaging for the recommended storage time.

- You may also add the weight and cooking notes, e.g. "defrost first", "cook from frozen" and keep a separate log of what is in each drawer. This will save opening the door and searching around unnecessarily.

Defrosting Frozen Food

1. Take the frozen food out from the freezer compartment and uncover the frozen food. Let it defrost at room temperature. Don't forget that defrosting in a warm area encourages the growth of bacteria and low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
2. Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting.
3. Always make sure there are no ice crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat. These crystals indicate that the food has not fully defrosted.
4. Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.
5. Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.

Never re-freeze anything that has been defrosted out unless you cook it again, to kill off harmful bacteria. Never re-freeze defrosted shellfish. Re-seal packs properly after removing items. This prevents drying or freezer-burn and a build up of frost on any remaining food.

Integrated Water Dispenser

Follow these steps to ensure the water tank is cleaned before use.

Cleaning the Water Tank

1. Remove the water tank balcony by gripping both sides and carefully lifting free from the refrigerator door.
2. Remove the water tank by gripping both sides and carefully lifting free from refrigerator door. Detach water tank cover from water tank.
3. Clean all parts with washing detergent and rinse thoroughly.
4. Attach water tank cover to water tank and slide back into place.
5. Ensure water tank and cover is secure, then slide water tank balcony back into place.

Replace the original rubber ring inside the tank valve with the spare one if the original rubber ring is worn or missing.

Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the water tank is securely in place before filling with water.
2. Open the lid found on the water tank balcony.
3. Fill water tank to the MAX level indicated, then close the lid. Filling above the MAX level may cause water to overflow when closing the lid.

• Always ensure the water tank is securely attached before use.

The water dispenser may not function correctly if the water tank is not secured. Do not use the refrigerator without the water tank.

Using the Water Dispenser

The water dispenser is located in the front of the upper door.

Water Dispenser Lever

Water Overflow Tray

Place a cup under the outlet and gently push against the dispenser lever. Ensure the cup is lined up with the dispenser to prevent spillage.

After each use, small amounts of water may drip from the water dispenser. This is normal.

The excess water will collect in the water overflow tray. Empty the water overflow tray periodically to prevent spillage.

Defrosting

Frost might build up in the freezer compartment after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included).

Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.

We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 10mm.

Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:

1. Take out the food, turn the unit off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not possible, wrap the food in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick blanket to keep it cool.
2. Place a dry towel on the edge of the compartment shelf. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be speeded up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer compartment and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrape it away with the plastic scraper.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit's interior and exterior.

Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

• Remove all the shelves and drawers.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and drawers.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Care When Handling / Moving the Unit

Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding the edges of the top surface.

Servicing

The unit should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualified technician.

Switching Off for Long Periods of Time

When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all food and clean the unit, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Condensation

Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.

Disposal

Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in the unit and insulation materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the unit are damaged prior to disposal.

Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new one can be obtained from your local council office.

When disposing of an old unit break off any old locks or latches and remove the doors as a safeguard.
