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.
Plug connection (for United Kingdom only)
If a 3-pin 13 amp fused plug is used, it should be fitted with a 3 amp fuse; with
other plug types, the circuit should contain a 5 amp fuse.
Warning - This Appliance must be earthed.
MOULDED-ON PLUG WITH FUSE (for United Kingdom only)
The mains lead is fitted with a nonrewirable moulded-on 13 amp plug containing
a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse requires replacing at any time, the fuse cover/carrier
should be removed using a small screwdriver to lever it out. The old fuse should
be replaced by a 3 amp ASTA approved BS1362 fuse and the fuse cover/carrier
must be refitted before the plug is used again.
If the fuse cover/carrier is lost, a replacement can be obtained from our service
shops. The fuse cover/carrier must be of the same colour as that of the coloured
insert in the base of the plug. In no circumstances must the plug be used without
a correct fuse cover/carrier fitted.
If the plug supplied on the mains lead is not suitable for the socket in your home,
it should be cut off and disposed of safely, or destroyed, to avoid any possible
3
shock hazard rasulting from the plug being inserted into a 13 amp socket
elsewhere in the house. A suitable replacement plug should then be fitted as
given below.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW : EARTH
BLUE : NEUTRAL
BROWN : LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows.
Connect the GREEN-AND-YELLOW
coloured wire to the plug trminal marked
letter E or earth symbol or coloured green
or green-and-yellow.
Connected the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked letter L or
coloured red.
Connected the BLUE coloured wire to the plug terminal marked letter N or
coloured black.
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 1-7 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.
4
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 0ºC when the thermostat is set at 7 (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.
The temperature in the freezer section of the unit is set at - 12ºC. Frozen
products can be stored here for short periods (please follow the instructions on
the packet very carefully!)
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 7 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.
A552 model
To defrost turn the thermostat dial to 0 remove the ice tray and leave the cabinet
and frozen food storage compartment door open.
5
The frost will melt and run into the drip collector which should be located
underneath the frozen food storage compartment.
When defrosting is complete, remove the drip collector and turn the thermostat
dial to its normal setting.
Rinse out the ice tray, refill it with fresh water and place it on its shelf. Some
drips of water may come from the cooling fins during normal operation.
A300 model
Defrosting of the frost built up on the evaporator should be started with pushing
in the push button in the middle of the thermostat knob. It should be pushed until
a clickingish heardt. (The button remains in the pushed-in-position). Defrosting
has started. The defrost water is automatically evaporated by the heat
generated by the appliance. After defrosting is completed, cooling will
automatically be started again. (Push button returns to the original position.)
Defrosting should be repeated at least once a week.
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.
6
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. 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.
