Frequently Asked Questions - UL55W SERVIS

How do I adjust the temperature on my SERVIS UL55W fridge?

Turn the thermostat dial (Figure 5) to a value between 1 and 5. Setting 5 provides the lowest temperature. For normal use, we recommend a setting of 3-5. Turning the dial below 1 switches off the compressor.

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

Check that the thermostat is set to a higher value (5 is coldest). Ensure doors are not opened too frequently and door seals are intact. Make sure the fridge is not overfilled and air vents are not blocked. If the problem persists, contact Servis.

How do I clean the interior of my fridge?

Unplug the fridge and remove all shelves and drawers. Wash them with warm soapy water. Wipe the interior with a warm soapy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or glass cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reinserting.

How often should I clean the condenser?

Clean the condenser at the back of the fridge at least once a year using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt.

What type of light bulb does the fridge use?

The fridge uses an E14 bulb rated 220-240 V, 15 W. To replace, unplug the fridge, remove the light cover, unscrew the old bulb, and fit a new one. Reattach the cover.

How do I level the fridge?

Turn the two adjustable feet at the front clockwise to increase height, anticlockwise to decrease height. Ensure the fridge is stable and balanced before placing food inside.

What should I do if there is water at the bottom of the fridge?

The drain hole at the back may be blocked. Clear it using the drain plug. Also check that the vaporisation container at the rear is not full; clean it regularly with warm soapy water.

Can I store flammable items in the fridge?

No. Do not store containers with flammable gases or liquids (e.g., spray cans, fire extinguisher refills) near the fridge as they can leak at low temperatures.

How long should I wait before turning on the fridge after moving it?

Keep the fridge upright for at least 3 hours after transportation or before first use to allow the compressor oil to settle. Then plug it in and set the thermostat to 4 with super switch on for 24 hours.

Where should I store different types of food?

Store fruits and vegetables loose in the vegetable drawer. Fish and meat (wrapped) on the bottom glass shelf. Dairy and eggs on door shelves. Butter and cheese on the top door shelf. Refer to the food storage guide in the manual for specific durations.

INSTALLATION>

ADJUSTING THE FEET >

For safe operation, it is important that your Fridge is stable and balanced. The two adjustable feet at the front are used to level your Fridge. Make sure that your Fridge is level before placing any foodstuffs inside it.

① To increase the height of the Fridge, turn the feet clockwise (Figure 4).
② To decrease the height of the Fridge, turn the feet anti-clockwise (Figure 4).

TEMPERATURE CONTROL >

The thermostat (Figure 5) is used to regulate the temperature in the fridge. It can be set to any value from 1-5, where 5 is the setting with the lowest temperature. For normal everyday use we recommend a value of 3-5. If you turn the dial below the 1 position the compressor is switched off.

USAGE>

BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE >

When using your Fridge for the first time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
» We recommend that you wipe all shelving and trays with a cloth soaked in warm water mixed with a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate before use. After cleaning, rinse with warm water and dry.
» You may notice a slight odour when using your Fridge for the first time. This is perfectly normal and will fade away once the fridge starts to cool.
Before using your Fridge, make sure that it has been connected to an appropriate mains power supply and is switched on at the socket.
When using your Fridge for the first time, set the thermostat to a value of 4 and set the super switch to on for the first 24 hours. Avoid opening the door while the Fridge is cooling down and do not place a lot of food inside the Fridge, otherwise it will take longer to reach operating temperature.
Your Fridge has a 5 minute built in delay function, designed to prevent damage to the compressor. When power is applied to your Fridge, it will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.

Power Disruption:

In the event of a power cut, your Fridge will preserve your food longer if you do not open the Fridge door.

When power is re-applied after a power cut your Fridge will not operate for 4-5 minutes. This is to allow the gas in the cooling system to balance and is perfectly normal.

FOOD STORAGE TIPS >

To help you use your Fridge efficiently, please take the time to read the following tips and guidance.

Storage Areas:

The circulation of air within your Fridge causes areas of different temperatures. It is recommended that you make use of these areas when storing your food.

The coldest area of the fridge compartment is at the bottom, above the vegetable drawer. We recommend that you use this area to store food that will perish easily, such as fish, ready meals, baked goods and dairy products.

The warmest area of your fridge is the top shelf of the door. We recommend that you store butter and cheeses in this shelf.

Storing food:

It is best to store you food covered or packaged, to prevent it from drying out, and to prevent smells affecting other food in your Fridge. Store fruit and vegetables loose in the vegetable containers. Avoid storing potatoes, onions and garlic in your refrigerator.

Other tips you might find helpful are:

» Wash your food before storage.
» Allow warm or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps to reduce power consumption.

» Keep as much space as possible between your items of food. This allows the cold air to circulate freely around them.
» Take care when storing tropical fruit such as pineapples as they can quickly deteriorate in lower temperatures.
» Divide and separate food into smaller pieces before storage.
» Cover or wrap food to prevent odours. We recommend that you store meat loosely covered as this allows air to circulate around the meat causing the surface to dry slightly, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria.
» Do not store food close to the lamp, or block the cover or the cooling compartment.

The table below is a quick guide, showing you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your Fridge.

Food Storage Duration Location

Fruits and Vegetables 1 week Loose in Vegetable Drawer
Fish and Meat 2-3 Days Wrapped on Glass Shelf
Fresh Cheese	3-4 Days	Top Door Shelf
Butter and Margarine 1 Week	Top Door Shelf
Bottles, Yogurt and Milk	Refer to Packaging	Door Shelf
Eggs	1 month	Door Shelf

CLEANING AND CARE >

CLEANING AND CARE

From time to time it will be necessary to carry out cleaning of your Fridge.

» Before cleaning your Fridge, turn your mains power supply off and remove the plug from the socket.
» Do not wash your Fridge by pouring water on it.
» Use a warm, soapy cloth or sponge to the wipe the interior and exterior of your Fridge.
» Carefully remove all shelves and drawers by sliding outwards or upwards and clean with soapy water. Do not wash in a washing machine or dish washer.
» Clean the condenser at the back of your Fridge at least once a year with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all purpose cleaning agents to clean your Fridge. They may damage the plastic surfaces and other components with the chemicals they contain.

Cleaning The Vaporisation Container:

Your Fridge performs fully automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of this automatic defrosting flows into the vaporisation container at the rear of your Fridge and evaporates. We recommend cleaning the vaporisation container at regular intervals to prevent odours from building up.

To clean the vaporisation container:

1 Remove the vaporisation container by unscrewing the 2 screws (a) and (b) (Figure 6)

② Clean the vaporisation container with warm soapy water and dry with a cloth.

③ Re-fit the vaporisation container by screwing it back into position.

CLEANING AND CARE >

Replacing the Lamp Bulb:

To replace the bulb:

① Check that your Fridge is turned off and unplugged from the mains.
② Apply light pressure to the sides of the light cover and carefully pull downwards.
(Figure 7 a).
③ Unscrew the bulb by turning it clockwise, and remove (Figure 7 b).
4 Replace with a 15 Watt bulb.
⑤ Re-fit the light cover, by pushing it upwards it until it clicks back into position (Figure 7 C).
