OPERATION
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.
Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. Extension cords should not be used!
SWITCHING ON
To switch on the refrigerator, plug it into the socket and turn the thermostat (in the inside
compartment) to position 2 or 3 in normal ambient temperatures.
The appliance will be cool in about one hour. As the refrigerator is equipped with an
absorption cooling unit which is completely silent in operation, you will not hear any noise
when the refrigerator is switched on.
The temperature inside the refrigerator is affected by location, room temperature, kind of
foodstuffing and too frequent openning 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 (2 or 3) and the ambient temperature is normal, the temperature inside the
refrigerator is between 0°C and 7°C.
USING THE REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator provides sufficient storage space for most kinds of food, milk, drinks, etc.
Two can be used together to form a fulldepth shelf or they can be used sepa-rately, leaving
space at the front for bottles and other larger items.
Ideally all foods should be in covered containers or plastic bags or wrapped in foil or plastic
film. Liquids should also be covered. This is to prevent flavours passing from one item to
another and also to reduce frost build-up on the cooling surfaces due to moisture coming from
stored items.
CAUTION:
Do not keep any easily combustible substances such as ether, petrol, adhesive,
propane gas etc. in the refrigerator as this could cause an explosion!
ICE CUBES
Fill the ice tray to 4/5 with fresh 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.
