Operation Manual

– Use a suitable screw-driver to remove the screw holding the light cover and take the cover off to
the back.
– Take out the defective bulb and fit a new one (max. 15 W).
– Slide the cover back into position, replace the screw and tighten it.
– Connect the unit to the mains power. It may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches on again.
Storing food
– The temperature inside the refrigerator depends mainly on the ambient temperature, the
temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
– Different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are affected differently by the cooling effect. The
warmest area is around the door in the higher part of the cabinet, the coldest around the rear wall
and in the lower part of the cabinet.
– The food should therefore be stored as follows:
– On main cabinet shelves (from top to bottom): bakery items, ready meals, dairy products, meat,
fish and cold meats/sausages.
– In the vegetable compartment: vegetables, salad and fruit.
– In the door (from top to bottom): butter, cheese, eggs, tubes (eg mustard), small bottles, large
bottles, milk and fruit-juice tetra-packs.
– Initially, the temperature control should be set to position 4. If the cooling effect is too strong,
lower it to position 1-3; if it is insufficient, raise it to 5-7.
If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely cause is that the door has been left open
for too long, or that warm food has been placed inside the refrigerator or that the
temperature control has been set too high.
– Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to absorb strong odours (e.g. cheese, fish,
butter), should be stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers.
– Warm food should be left to cool down to room temperature before being placed in the
refrigerator.
– Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the seal is not obstructed by food stored
inside the cabinet or door.
De-frosting and cleaning
The integral vapouriser is sealed in foam in the rear wall; you may therefore notice a build-up of frost
around the rear area. This layer of frost will start melting when the compressor is not working.
Through a system of hoses, the melt-water drains into the collection tray below the compressor, where
it will be absorbed into the surrounding air. The unit does not therefore require de-frosting, but only
proper cleaning instead.
To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure that the channel and discharge opening in the
cabinet are free of any blockage.
– Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
– Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
