Environmental Information Packaging All transit packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be reused. Wood is un-treated. The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are pure hydrocarbon compounds and can be recycled. The carton parts are made from recycled paper. Please dispose of the packaging with due care for the environment.
Appliance Transport Two persons are required for transport of the appliance. There are two recessed handles at the front of the base and at the back of the appliance at the top for improved gripping. 0 1. Grip the appliance with the recessed handles positioned as in the drawing, and transport the appliance. 2. In order to push the appliance into its final position, press carefully at the top of the door and tip the appliance back slightly.
Before Use 2. Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape. 3. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly. Remove the transport fittings from the storage shelves: 4. Slide the fittings securing the shelf forward to the thicker section on the edge of the storage shelf. 5.
Installation Installation Location The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore – not be exposed to direct sunlight; – not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; – only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
Installation The Refrigerator needs Air Air is fed under the door through the vent slots in the base and is exhausted upwards along the back wall. To ensure proper air circulation never cover or alter the vent openings. Important! If the appliance is installed under, for example, a hanging cabinet, a clearance of at least 10 cm between the top of the appliance and the cabinet above it must be maintained.
Installation Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. 1 WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside, on the left. The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted.
Reversing the Door The door hinges can be changed from right (as supplied) to left if required to suit the location where the appliance is installed. 1 Warning! Unplug from the mains before reversing the door. 0 1. Open the door and remove the plinth cover to the front. Move the door bearing cover on the plinth cover from the left to the right. Close the door. 2. With the door closed, remove the cross-head screws from the lower door bearing and remove the door bearing downwards. 3.
Reversing the Door 4. Remove the door fitting on the lower right (1) and reposition the door bearing cover from the lower left to the right of the door (2), place the door fitting supplied in the lower left of the door (3). Carefully remove the door to the front and place on one side. 3 2 1 5. Move the upper bearing pivot to the left. 6. Carefully slide the door onto the top bearing pivot and close. 7. Place the lower door bearing with the bearing pivot in the lower left of the door and fasten. 8.
Description of the Appliance View of the appliance Temperature regulator and ON/OFF-switch Butter/cheese compartments with flaps Door storage compartment Bottle shelf Salad bin Storage shelves Rating plate Prior to Initial Start–Up Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into operation for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if was transported upright.
Initial Use 1 Mains power light (green) 2 Temperature regulator and ON/OFF-switch The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF-switch. A coin is needed to turn the temperature regulator. This makes it more difficult to change the temperature setting accidentally (child protection). Position "0" means: Off Position "1"means: Highest interior temperature (warmest setting) Position "4" means: Lowest interior temperature (coldest setting) 0 1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. 2.
Recommended settings: For normal use: position "1" to "2"; For lower temperatures: position "2" to "3". Important! High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position "3" to "4") can cause the compressor to run continuously in order to maintain the low temperature. The fridge will therefore not be able to defrost as automatic defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see "Defrosting" section).
Interior Fittings Storage Shelves 0 1. A storage shelf must be inserted into the lower guide track above the fruit and vegetable drawers. It must always remain in this position, so that fruits and vegetables remain fresh longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 0 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2. To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse. Adjustment for tall items: 0 1.
Interior Fittings Salad Bin The salad bin can be divided into sections by inserting the dividers. 0 1. Insert the large divider in the middle or to the left side of the salad bin as required. 2. If the large divider is inserted in the middle of the bin the right hand side can be further divided by inserting the small divider in the middle or rear position. 3 The ventilation grille above the salad bin improves air circulation so that groceries keep for longer.
Proper Storage For physical reasons, the refrigerator compartment has different temperature zones. The coldest zone is on the lowest storage shelf immediately above the fruit and vegetable trays. Warmer zones are the upper storage shelves and door racks. The arrangement (see fig.) indicates where different types of food are best stored to make the most of temperature variations. For instance, the shelf immediately above the fruit and vegetable trays should be 5 °C for safe storage of meat and fish products.
Defrosting The Fridge defrosts automatically The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost is collected in the drain channel on the rear of the fridge, fed through the drain hole into the collection compartment in the base, and then evaporated.
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge. • Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. • Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply. Internal Cleaning 0 1.
Maintenance and Cleaning Replacing the Light Bulb 1 Warning! Danger of electrical shock! Before replacing the light bulb switch appliance off and remove the mains plug. Light bulb specifications: 220-240 V, max. 25 W, fitting: E 14 Important! When replacing the lamp only fit a lamp of suitable diameter, that is at least 18 mm, this will ensure a good seat on the rubber seal.

They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise. • Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work.
