Frequently Asked Questions - LUC50S12 Logik

How do I adjust the temperature in my Logik LUC50S12 fridge?

Turn the thermostat dial located inside the fridge compartment. A higher number means colder temperature. Usually, setting 3-4 is recommended for normal use. Wait 24 hours for full effect.

Why is my fridge making a loud noise?

Common causes include the fridge not being level (adjust feet), items inside vibrating, or the compressor starting up. Normal operating noise includes humming, gurgling (refrigerant flow), and occasional clicks.

How do I defrost my fridge?

The LUC50S12 requires manual defrost. Unplug the fridge, remove food, and leave the door open. Place towels to catch water. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice. Clean and dry before restarting.

How can I reverse the door opening direction?

Reverse the door by relocating hinges and handles to the opposite side. Refer to the user manual for specific steps. You'll need a screwdriver and possibly a spanner. Keep door closed upright to avoid damage.

What is the recommended temperature setting for the fridge?

For optimal food preservation, set the thermostat between 3 and 4. This maintains an internal temperature around 4-5°C in the fridge compartment.

How do I clean the interior of my fridge?

Unplug the fridge. Remove all food and shelves. Wash interior with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Leave door open until fully dry before restocking.

What should I do if the fridge is not cooling?

First, check power supply and thermostat setting. Ensure the door is sealing properly (clean gaskets). Wait 24 hours after plugging in. If still not cooling, the compressor or refrigerant may have failed; contact a technician.

Can I store hot food in the fridge?

No, allow food to cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge. Placing hot food raises internal temperature, wastes energy, and can spoil other food. Divide into small portions for faster cooling.

How do I save energy with this fridge?

Keep fridge away from heat sources (oven, direct sunlight). Ensure good ventilation around the back. Set thermostat to recommended 3-4. Defrost regularly and keep door closed as much as possible.

Where can I find spare parts for the Logik LUC50S12?

Contact Logik customer service or an authorized service center. Parts like shelves, door bins, and light bulbs are available. Use only original parts for safety and performance.

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 32^ C. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the 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 of 160^ .

If the appliance is placed under a continuous worktop, the appliance lid (if applicable) may be removed and a ventilation grille of at least 200 cm ^2 (available from DIY shops or specialist retailers) should be installed to the worktop above the rear of the appliance to increase ventilation.

INSTALLATION

Benefits of increased ventilation:

• Lowered power consumption

• Improved cooling performance

- Reduce running costs

Cleaning Before Use

Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a 'wrung-out' sponge or cloth. Wash the shelves and salad bin in warm soapy water and dry completely before replacing in the unit. 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 3 or 4 is the recommended setting when operating at normal room temperature (between 16°C and 32°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 an average of 5^ 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 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.

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 used food containers without cleaning.
• 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 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 unit 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 refreeze anything that has been defrosted 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.

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.

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 (\~0.39"). 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 rug or blanket to keep it cool.

2. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer compartment. Scrape away the frost using the plastic scraper (not included). Defrosting the remaining frost can be speeded up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer compartment cabinet and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrape it away with the plastic scraper and remove.

1. 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 salad bin before cleaning. To remove the salad bin first remove the lower fridge door shelf.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a 'wrung-out' sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and salad bin.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the doors are closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seals or inside the fridge/freezer compartments.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Changing the Internal Light

1. Before carrying out the bulb replacement always adjust the thermostat control dial to Position OFF, 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.

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.
