The Swan Retro Tall Larder Fridge excels at providing dedicated fresh food storage for active households. Its 337-litre capacity is perfect for families, allowing you to store weekly groceries, bulk purchases, and party supplies with ease. For example, the 5 glass shelves can accommodate various food items like dairy, cooked meals, and produce, while the chrome wine rack is ideal for chilling bottles of wine or large soft drink bottles. The 6 door shelves offer convenient storage for condiments, milk, and smaller items, keeping frequently accessed goods within reach.
The adjustable temperature control is a key feature for maintaining food quality. You can set a colder temperature for meat and dairy, or a slightly warmer one for fruits and vegetables in the salad crisper, ensuring everything stays fresh for longer. Its efficient 'E' energy rating means it operates effectively while being mindful of energy consumption, a practical benefit for daily use. The retro design means it's not just a functional appliance but also a statement piece that can elevate your kitchen's aesthetic.
Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the fridge for any transit damage. Allow the fridge to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant gases to settle.
Placement: Choose a level, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (like ovens or radiators), and excessive moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation space around the back and sides.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom to ensure the fridge is perfectly level. This helps with door alignment and efficient operation.
Clean Interior: Before first use, wipe down the interior and accessories with a mild detergent solution and warm water. Dry thoroughly.
First Use: Plug the fridge into a dedicated earthed power socket. Set the temperature control to a medium setting and allow the fridge to cool down for several hours (ideally 24 hours) before loading it with food.
Space Requirements: Due to its tall design, ensure you have sufficient vertical space for installation and adequate clearance for door opening. Check specific dimensions in the user manual.
Power Supply: Compatible with standard household electrical outlets.
Regular Cleaning: Unplug the fridge before cleaning. Clean the interior and exterior regularly (e.g., monthly) with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Defrosting: As a larder fridge, it is likely frost-free, but refer to your manual for specific defrosting instructions if ice buildup occurs.
Door Seal Check: Regularly inspect the door seals for cleanliness and damage. A clean, intact seal ensures efficient cooling.
Temperature Setting: Adjust the temperature as needed based on the amount and type of food stored, and the ambient room temperature.
Power Outages: During long power outages, keep the fridge door closed to maintain internal temperature as long as possible.
