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
strong-smelling detergents or wax polishes!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The refrigerator is equipped with an absorber
unit which is completely silent in operation.
It is designed for free-standing installation but
can be built in if the following instructions are
observed.
In order to ensure perfect operation and
maximum cooling efficiency of the appliance, the
following conditions must be strictly complied
with:
1) sufficient supply of fresh air from below;
2) good heat dissipation above the cooling unit,
free from obstruction;
3) stable, level position of the refrigerator;
If the appliance is to be built in, please ensure
that it can be removed if necessary without
damaging the surrounding fitments.
The refrigerator must be positioned far enough
into the fitment for the entire unit to project into
the air duct. Ventilation must not be obstructed by
a radiator, television or any other source of heat.
Two refrigerators should not be built in, one on
top of the other, unless separate ventilation is
provided for each.
Below are several possibilities for building in the
refrigerator, whereby the dimensions given are
minimum dimensions.
If built into an open shelf, fig. 2, it is sufficient for
the air duct to be 105mm deep. This can be
achieved by attaching 105 mm spacers to the
rear panel of the shelf (not supplied). The entire
unit must nevertheless project into the air duct.
If built into a wall cupboard, fig. 3-5, the air duct
must correspond to the width of the refrigerator
and measure at least 105 mm above and behind
the refrigerator. If decorative grilles are used, the
open ventilation section per grille must
measure at least 200 cm

.
During installation, please ensure the mains
plug is accessible at all times.
Door hang and decorative door panel
The position you select for your refrigerator may
make it necessary to reverse the door hang. If
this is the case, please read: Reversing the
doorhang.
The decorative panel on this appliance can be
replaced. With regard to this please read:
Changing the decorative door panel.
Connecting to the mains
The appliance must only be connected to the
mains by means of an earthed socket which has
been installed in accordance with the
regulations. Before connecting up, check that
the voltage on the data label (in the top left of the
inside compartment) is compatible with the
mains supply.
SWITCHING ON
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
will be 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 by means
of the thermostat. 0 = cooling is switched off,
from 1-5 the temperature decreases. When the
thermostat is at a medium setting (3 or 4) 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
cans may burst!
If the ambient temperature is very high, the
cooling capacity decreases. This does not mean
that 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 (EA 3140) are suitable for
bottles, tins and small packets. Two can be used
together to form a full-depth shelf or they can be
used separately, leaving space at the front for
bottles and other larger items.
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 tray to 4/5 with drinking water, and
place the ice tray on the ice-tray shelf. 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. The ice cubes can now be
taken out easily.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Fully automatic defrosting
The appliance is fitted with a fully automatic
defrosting system. Defrosting of the frost 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 hygienic. 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 strong-smelling
detergents or wax polishes as these will damage
the surfaces and leave an unpleasant smell.
The outside should occasionally be dusted or
wiped over with a damp cloth. The door seal
should only be cleaned with water and rubbed
down with talcum powder from time to time.
If possible, the unit should also be dusted
occasionally 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.
Changing the lightbulb
If the lightbulb needs changing, pull out the plug
and proceed as follows:
Press the metal reflector to one side and draw
the lamp covering backwards. Replace the bulb
and push the covering back into place.
A new 10-watt bulb can be obtained at any
service shop.
Reversing the door hang, Fig. 6
Lay the appliance on its back. Remove the 8
screws (1). Remove the door, together with the
two hinges (2), from the housing.
Remove the two cover caps (3) from the housing
and place them in the open hinge holes in the
housing. Place the bottom righthand hinge in the
top left of the door and the top righthand hinge in
the bottom left of the door and hang the door on
its hinges in the open cover cap holes in the
housing. Secure the hinges and cover caps with
the 8 screws.
Check that the door closes easily and is sealed
properly.
Reversing the door hang at a fridge with
lock
Proceed according to afore-mentioned with the
following supplement:
Remove the hinge plate, then reversing place it
into the open hinge-hole of the bottom
righthand hinge.
Replacing the decorative door panel, Fig. 7-9
Remove the two screws (1) from the upper hinge
of the door.
Pull the door together with the hinge away from
the housing and up off the lower hinge bolt (2-3).
Remove screws (4) and pull off the frame edge (5).
Slide the decorative panel (6) out of the door
frame and insert the new panel (7), so that the
upper edge of the panel runs exactly parallel to
7
the upper edge of the frame. A new panel can be
inserted more easily into the upper edge of the
frame when the two corners are cut off by
approx. 5 x 5mm (8). Put the frame edge (5)
back in place and secure with screws.
Place the door on the lower hinge (9), slot the
upper hinge into the opening, press together
with the door against the housing and secure
with the two screws (11).
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, e.g. a table lamp.
Is the thermostat at the correct setting? (normally
3 or 4).
Has the defrosting button been inadvertently
pushed in? If so, turn the thermostat dial to "0"
and the defrosting button will be released. Reset
the dial to its usual position and the refrigerator
should start cooling again.
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. A list of
service engineers is supplied with every
appliance. 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.)
This refrigerator is equipped with overheating
protection. An authorised service technician can
check whether this has been triggered or not.
