IMPORTANT
First make sure that the appliance has not been damaged in transit. If any damage
has been incurred, please inform the supplier immediately.
Please read these instructions carefully.
Keep the instructions in a safe place and make sure that they are retained with the
refrigerator when the appliance is transferred to a new location or owner.
Note! If this refrigerator is replacing a larger one which is going to be scrapped,
remove the door before disposal to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside.
Please contact the relevant area refuse office to arrange disposal. The pipe
system of your refrigerator must not be damaged if technically correct disposal is
to be guaranteed.
If possible, please take the packaging of your new refrigerator to the recycling
centre for your area.
Recommendation: before installation or initial use of the appliance, clean the
interior and fittings with lukewarm water and, if necessary, a mild detergent. Never
use acidic, abrasive or strongsmelling detergents or wax polishes!
Connecting to the mains
The refrigerator must only be connected to the electricity supply using an earthed
socket outlet, installed in accordance with local regulations. Before connecting
the refrigerator, check from the data label inside the cabinet that the voltage
agrees with your mains supply.
Warning - This Appliance must be earthed.
SWITCHING ON
Inside the refrigerator you will find a plastic bag contanining 4 small wheels.
Carefully place the refrigerator on its back and insert the pins of the wheels into
the metal holders located on the underside of the refrigerator. In this way you can
always move your refrigerator to where it is needed.
To switch on the refrigerator, plug it into the socket and turn the thermostat (in the
inside compartment) to position 3 or 4. The appliance start to cool in about one
hour.
The temperature inside the refrigerator is affected by location, room temperature
and too frequent opening of the door. Adjustment of the thermostat dial may
therefore be necessary.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The cooling capacity can be adjusted with the thermostat. 0=cooling is switched
off, from 1-5 the temperature decreases. When the thermostat is at a medium
setting and the ambient temperature is normal, the temperature inside the
refrigerator is between 0°-7°C.
Note! Depending on the ambient temperature, service life, and quantity and
temperature of the refrigerated items, the temperature inside the refrigerator can
drop to below 0°C when the thermostat is set at 5 (maximum cooling capacity).
Drinks can freeze, glass bottles and can may burst!
If the ambient temperature is very high, the cooling capacity decreases. This does
not mean than the appliance is defective.
USING THE REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator provides sufficient storage space for food, milk, drinks etc. The
shelves on the inside of the door are suitable for bottles, tins and small packets.
The un-refrigerated space above the cooling compartment can be used for storing
glasses and snacks.
All food should be stored in its original packaging or in closed containers. Liquids
should also only be stored in closed bottles or containers. In this way food remains
moist, odours do not form and neither does excess ice form on the cooling unit.
Allow hot food and drink to cool down before placing them in the refrigerator.
Do not keep any easily combustible substances such as ether, petrol,
adhesive, propane gas etc. in the refrigerator, it could explode!
ICE CUBES
Fill the ice-cube container to 4/5 with potable water. Place the ice-cube container
in the freezer section. Wipe off any excess water to prevent the ice tray from
freezing to the surface.
To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn the thermostat to position 5 for a short
while. Remember to turn the dial to its normal setting when the ice cubes are
frozen.
To remove the cubes from the ice tray, hold it under running water. Remove the lid
with the ice cubes from the ice tray and the ice cubes can now be taken out easily.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it must not be allowed to
become too thick since it impairs the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.
Defrosting of the frost built up on the evaporator starts automatically for 2 hours
long in every 24 hours.
The defrost water is automatically evaporated by the heat generated by the
appliance. After defrosting is completed, cooling will automatically be started
again.
Defrost water
During the defrosting process the water runs through a hose into a container on
the back of the refrigerator where it evaporates. This container does not need to
be emptied.
Cleaning
Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh and gygienic. Switch
off the appliance and pull out the plug. Clean the interior and fittings carefully with
a mild detergent in lukewarm water.
Never use acidic, abrasive or strongsmelling detergents or wax polishes as these
will damage the surfaces and leave an unpleasant smell.
The wooden housing should be dusted from time/to/time or wiped down with a
damp cloth. The door seal should onlz be cleaned with water and rubbed down
with talcum powder from time to time.
If possible, the unit should also be dusted occasionallz with a brush or, even
better, with a vacuum cleaner. Ensure that the plug is disconnected.
Longer periods of absence
If you wish to switch off the appliance for a longer period of time, pull out the plug,
defrost the refrigerator and clean it carefully. Leave the door open to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Before you call a service engineer, carry out the following simple tests.
Is there a power failure? Check the fuses.
Is the plug firmly connected to the socket and is the socket switched on? Check
the socket by plugging in another appliance, eg a table lamp.
Is the thermostat at the correct setting? (normally 3 or 4).
Has the door not been closed properly causing the inside temperature to rise too
quickly?
Is the refrigerator level?
Has the ventilation become obstructed?
If after checking all the above points, the refrigerator is still not working
satisfactorily, contact your nearest service engineer.
This refrigerator is equipped with overheating protection. An authorised service
technician can check whether this has been triggered or not.
State the problem, model and product number. (Details of the model and product
number are to be found on the data label in the top left of the inside compartment.)
INPORTANT ADVICE
Do
- Make sure that drinks and food, particularly those with a strong smell, are
closed tightly or well packed;
- Close the door properly after use. The door should only be left open a little
when the refrigerator is switched off;
Do not
- Use sharp objects to remove the frost layer or free the ice tray,
- Obstruct the airflow on or above the cooling unit,
- Put any hot or warm food/drinks into the refrigerator - allow them to cool down
first
Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protection (less than 2 weight % of the
coolant).
