Frequently Asked Questions - JF46 Jocel

How do I adjust the temperature on my Jocel JF46 fridge?

Use the thermostat dial inside the fridge compartment. Turn it clockwise for colder, counterclockwise for warmer. We recommend setting it to a medium position for optimal cooling.

What should I do if my fridge is not cooling properly?

Check that the door is sealing properly and not obstructed. Ensure the ventilation grills are clean. Also verify the temperature setting and that the fridge is not overloaded.

How often should I defrost the JF46 refrigerator?

Defrost the fridge when the frost layer reaches about 3-5 mm thickness. This typically occurs every 2-3 months depending on usage and humidity.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the Jocel JF46 features a reversible door. Refer to the instruction manual for step-by-step instructions on how to change the hinge side.

What is the ideal temperature for storing food in this fridge?

The recommended temperature for the fridge compartment is 4°C (39°F). This helps keep food fresh while preventing bacterial growth.

How do I clean my Jocel JF46 fridge?

Unplug the fridge first. Use a soft cloth with mild soapy water to clean interior and exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly before plugging back in.

Why is there water pooling at the bottom of the fridge?

This is usually due to a clogged defrost drain. Clean the drain hole using a pipe cleaner or soft wire. Also ensure the fridge is level to allow proper drainage.

What does the energy class A+ mean?

A+ indicates the fridge has high energy efficiency. It uses less electricity compared to lower classes, meaning lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact.

Is it normal for the fridge to make noise?

Some noise is normal: humming from the compressor, gurgling of refrigerant, and occasional clicking of the thermostat. Loud or persistent noises may indicate a fault.

How can I save energy with my JF46?

Place the fridge in a cool, ventilated area away from heat sources. Allow hot food to cool before storing. Keep the door closed as much as possible and ensure a tight seal.

WARNING

• This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong plug which is compatible with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
• This refrigerator requires a standard 220-240V/50Hz electrical outlet with three-prong grounded socket.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
• Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock.
• This refrigerator is not designed to be used with an inverter.
• The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling, so as to prevent accidental injury.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the socket.
• Do not use an extension cable with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.

INSTALLATION METHOD:

1. The ground should be level, solid and dry.
2. Avoid placing upside down or horizontally. The angle should be not more than 45^ between the cabinet and the ground if inclination is necessary.
3. Leave a space of 30cm above the refrigerator and 5cm on either side and behind the refrigerator, otherwise air will not be able to circulate properly, reducing the freezing effect, and increasing energy consumption.
4. Place your refrigerator in a space where there is less humidity, so as to improve electronic insulation and avoid rust.
5. Avoid placing the refrigerator near heat sources (stove, warmer etc.) or in direct sunlight.

HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR:

1. When operating the refrigerator for the first time, leave the empty refrigerator to operate until it stops, which will usually take 2-3 hours (10 hours in summer), then adjust the thermostat knob.
2. Install the accessories in the appropriate positions according to the diagram.
3. Turn the thermostat dial to between 3 and 4; insert the power plug into the socket.
4. Defrosting is needed when the frost layer on the evaporator reaches 3 - 4mm. First, disconnect from the power supply, then open the door, take out the ice tray and all food. The refrigerator will begin to defrost. Wipe and dry the evaporator after defrosting has finished. Then return the food to its place.

Attention!

1. When storing food, wrap it in plastic wrap or store it in a container with a lid; this prevents odours and keeps it dry. Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
2. There should be sufficient space between each item of food; do not store too much food.
3. To save electricity, do not open the door too frequently. Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
4. Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
5. If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
6. The temperature inside can be lower if take out the drip tray during performance testing.

MAINTENANCE

1. Periodical maintenance may prolong the refrigerator's life. For safety reasons, the power cord must be disconnected before maintenance.
2. Abrasive powder, detergent powder, sodium carbonate, benzene, petrol, acid alcohol hot water etc. must not be used to clean the refrigerator; these may damage the paint coat and the plastic.
