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.

GB
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:
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.

GB
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.
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!
