INTRODUCTION
We are pleased that you have chosen this refrigerator and trust that it will be to
your complete satisfaction. We should also like to offer some useful tips.
This absorption refrigerator has a (
***
) freezer compartment (-18°C) for
freezing ice and storing deep-frozen food. (These values are maintained at
ambient temperatures of between +16°C and +32°C). The normal refrigerator
compartment is cooled by a separate evaporator.
Please read these instructions carefully before using the refrigerator.
To obtain good service and ensure that the refrigerator operates economically,
it must be used as detailed below.
DAMAGE IN TRANSIT
After removing the packaging, examine the refrigerator to ensure it has not been
damaged during transit. Should damage have occurred, please proceed as
detailed below.
Transit damage must be reported to the company responsible for transport
within seven days, at the latest, following delivery of the goods.
TYPE PLATE
The type plate is afixed to the interior of the refrigerator and bears, amongst
other information, the following details:
type
model description
product number
serial number
This information must be produced should it become necessary to contact
customer service. We recommend that you write these details down here.
Further technical information can be found in the paragraph entitled
TECHNICAL DATA in these instructions.
INSTALLATION
It is important that the refrigerator should not be exposed to heat radiation from
hot appliances (e.g. stoves).
To obtain good service, also in the case of high ambient temperatures, it is
important that the cooling unit is sufficiently ventilated. The ventilation
apertures at the top of the refrigerator must not be covered up.

PUTTING INTO SERVICE
The 230V electricity supply must be provided by a socket earthed in
accordance with current regulations. Before putting the refrigerator into
service, please ensure that the mains connection voltage corresponds to
the voltage indicated on the type plate.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
An absorption refrigerator operates without making any noise whatsoever. The
deep freezer compartment should become cold approximately one hour after
being switched on. Six to 10 hours are required for the refrigerator to reach
normal operating temperature (dependent on the ambiant temperature). If the
refrigerator is stocked with food, the cooling period is longer (8-18 hours).
The thermostat allows continuing temperature control inside the refrigerator.
Normally, the regulating knob (B) is set at position 3-5. Should you require a
lower (colder) temperature, please turn the knob to a higher level.
FOOD STORAGE
Always store food in closed containers, aluminium foil or in a similar manner.
Never place food in the refrigerator while it is still warm, always allow it to cool
down to room temperature beforehand.
CAUTION: combustible liquids and gases must not be stored in the
refrigerator. There is a DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
The (
***
) freezer compartment is intended for freezing ice cubes and storing
frozen food, for instance, ice cream. It is not suitable for freezing food. Most
deep-frozen food, provided it has not been thawed out in the meantime, can be
stored in the freezer compartment for a period of up to one month. However, this
time period can vary. Therefore, the directions on the packaging must be
observed.
FREEZING ICE CUBES
To freeze ice cubes fill the dish with water and place it on the bottom of the
freezer compartment. To accelerate the process turn the regulator up to the
highest mark. However, do not forget to turn it back again afterwards.
DEFROSTING
When operating normally, the cooling ribs in the normal compartment defrost
automatically. In the case of increased air humidity, frost may form on the
cooling ribs. Should the frost layer attain a thickness of approximately 3 mm, the
refrigerator must be defrosted to avoid impairing the performance level. Even if
this is not the case, the (
***
) freezer compartment must be defrosted on a
regular basis following heavy ice formation. This is carried out as follows:
5
- Set the thermostat at 0', disconnect at the mains, remove food and ice dish
and leave the doors open. Do not expose the refrigerator to external heat and
do not attempt to scratch away the frost with sharp objects.
- The drained water runs in a groove and from there continues along a pipe
through the refrigerator's rear panel and into a collection container on the
cooling unit, where the water evaporates by itself. Should the frost layer
become very thick, there is a danger of the collection basin overflowing. In
this case the water should be absorbed by a cloth placed under the ribs. The
water in the freezer compartment should also be absorbed by a cloth.
- Following defrosting, the refrigerator should be wiped dry with a cloth,
reconnected and the food returned. However, you should wait until the
following day before freezing ice cubes.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Set the thermostat at 0' and disconnect at the mains. Defrost the refrigerator
as detailed above. Remove loose parts (shelves, supports, etc.), rinse and dry.
Dampen a cloth with lukewarm water (and possibly add a mild cleaning agent)
and wipe out the refrigerator from inside. Then dry off with a soft cloth. Wipe the
doors' PVC seals with a damp cloth and rub them with talcum powder from time
to time. Never use scouring agents, harsh cleaning agents, heavily perfumed
products, wax or similar items. Occasionly remove the dust from the cooling unit
at the rear of the refrigerator, especially from the pipe coils and from between
the ribs. Always ensure that the refrigerator is disconnected at the mains
before carrying out this routine maintenance.
PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE
Should the refrigerator not be in use for some time, it should be disconnected.
Set the thermostat at 0' and disconnect at the mains.
Empty, defrost and clean the refrigerator as detailed above. Leave the
refrigerator and deep freezer doors slighty ajar.
HOW TO PROCEED IN THE CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS
Before contacting customer service, examine the refrigerator to ascertain
whether:
1) the instructions in the paragraph entitled CONNECTING THE
REFRIGERATOR have been observed
2) the refrigerator is positioned on a level surface
3) the voltage connection is the required 230V
4) the fuse is not defective.
6
Should the refrigerator not be cooling sufficiently, it may be because:
the cooling unit is insufficiently ventilated, owing to the air inlet or
ventilation aperture (mesh in the table top) being completely or partly
covered
the evaporator is covered with ice
the thermostat setting is incorrect
too much (warm) food has been stored in the refrigerator over a short
period of time
the door seal is not in its correct position, or the door is not properly
closed.
Should the refrigerator still not function correctly, contact customer service.
Please refer to the paragraph entitled CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE
PARTS.
The cooling unit must not be opened; it is highly pressurized!
SERVICING
Work on electrical equipment must only be carried out by a qualified expert and
it is recommended to have this work completed by an authorized customer
service department.
USEFUL TIPS
Please ensure that:
the refrigerator is defrosted when necessary
the refrigerator is disconnected when not in use, as detailed above
strong-smelling food is carefully wrapped
the ventilation apertures are not obstructed.

INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS
Installation, particularly electrical work, must be carried out by a qualified expert.
For instance, should the refrigerator be installed in a cupboard unit, adequate
ventilation and aeration and the correct distance from the wall must be ensured
as indicated in diagram 2 (A or B).
During installation, please ensure the mains plug is accessible at all times.
TRANSFERRING HINGES
The direction the door opens can be transferred from one side to the other by
carrying out the following steps:
disconnect at the mains
lay the refrigerator down carefully on its back
remove the lower hinge and detach the door
remove the two upper left-hand screws and detach the covering plate by
pulling it forward
detach the upper hinge and mount it on the opposite side
remove the hinge bolt and screw it in from below
insert the covering plate in the upper right-hand corner by pushing it in and
secure it with the two screws
position the door on the upper hinge bolt and mount the lower hinge
ensure the door can move freely and the seal is correctly positioned.
CHANGING THE FEET
Should you wish to install your miniCool, you will not ned the 40-mm feet. After
having removed the 40-mm feet, you can then re-attach the 12-mm feet, located
inside the 40-mm feet, to the front and rear fixing points.The 40-mm feet and the
4 remaining screw should be retained for future use.
