Frequently Asked Questions - SUL60W13E Sandstrøm

How do I adjust the temperature on my Sandstrøm SUL60W13E fridge?

Turn the thermostat control dial inside the fridge. Settings range from 0 (off) to 7 (coldest). For normal use, position 4 is recommended. For colder environments (winter), use positions 1-4; for hotter environments (summer), use 5-6.

Why is my fridge making unusual noises?

Most noises are normal. You may hear the refrigerant circulating or the compressor motor running. These sounds are typical and do not indicate a fault. If you hear loud or persistent unusual noises, contact a qualified technician.

Can I reverse the door swing on this fridge?

Yes, the door is reversible. However, we recommend contacting a qualified technician. If you do it yourself, follow the instructions in the manual carefully, including removing the top cover, hinges, and levelling feet. Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.

How do I clean the interior of my fridge?

Remove all shelves and drawers. Wipe the inside with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and warm water, then rinse with a damp cloth. Dry completely before replacing shelves. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and furniture polish, avoiding the door seal.

Does the fridge need manual defrosting?

No, this model features auto defrost. Frost on the rear inner surface melts automatically during the compressor off-cycle. Water drains to a tray above the compressor and evaporates. Regularly check and clean the drain hole.

What are the recommended clearances for installation?

Leave at least 25 mm on each side, 50 mm at the rear, and 25 mm above the unit. Ensure the door can open to 160°. If placing under a worktop, a ventilation grille of at least 200 cm² is recommended.

How do I change the internal light bulb?

Set the thermostat to 0 and unplug the fridge. Use a flat screwdriver to gently prise off the light cover. Unscrew the old bulb anticlockwise and replace with a 10W SES bulb. Refit the cover and reconnect power.

What should I do if the fridge is not cooling enough?

Check that the thermostat is set correctly (try position 4 or higher). Ensure the door is sealing properly. Allow 24 hours after plugging in for temperatures to stabilize. If the unit is in a very hot or cold room, adjust accordingly. Consider using a fridge thermometer.

How much energy does the SUL60W13E use?

The rated energy consumption is 0.250 kWh/24h (91 kWh per year). Actual usage depends on location, door openings, and settings. This model is energy class A++.

How do I level the fridge?

Adjust the two levelling feet at the front by turning them. The fridge should be level to ensure proper door alignment and seal. Use a spirit level if necessary.

Operation

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^irc C.

GB

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 6 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 unit. 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 door. We recommend that you only open the door 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.

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.

Maintenance

Changing the Internal Light

1. Before carrying out the bulb replacement always adjust the thermostat control dial to Position 0, then disconnect the mains supply.
2. Use a flat bladed screwdriver and gently prise off the light bulb cover.
3. Remove the old bulb by unscrewing in an anticlockwise direction.
4. Replace with a new bulb (10W SES).
5. Refit the light bulb cover and reconnect the unit to the mains supply and switch on by adjusting the thermostat.

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 appliance, 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 your 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.
