Diagram of an open refrigerator with numbered labels pointing to different compartments

There is a freezer compartment in the upper section of the unit that can be closed by a door. The main storage area is under the freezer compartment.

Before using for the first time

• Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials completely, including the adhesive strips.
• Before it is connected to the mains, the unit must be thoroughly checked for transport damage, including its power cord.
  – Clean the unit as described in the section De-frosting and Cleaning.
• To ensure proper functioning, wait for around 2 hours before connecting the unit and switching it on once it has been positioned.
• When the unit is first switched on, a slight smell may be noticed. However, this will disappear once the cooling process has begun.

Installation

The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry room. It should be operated in an ambient temperature of 16 to 38 °C and a relative humidity of max. 70 %. Do not use the appliance outdoors. Ensure that the plug is accessible and can be removed from the wall socket at any time. Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight, and do not position it next to any heat sources (radiators, cookers etc). If this cannot be avoided, however, suitable insulation must be installed between the heat source and the unit.

The unit must not be installed inside a cupboard; when positioning the unit, also ensure that it is not placed directly underneath a shelf or any other similar object.

- Ensure that there is sufficient space in front for the door to open to 160^ .

If the floor is uneven, the height-adjustable feet can be used to compensate and ensure optimum stability.

Ventilation

Ensure that there is enough space around the unit so that the air circulation round and behind it is not obstructed. (Rear and sides 5 cm, top 10 cm.)

Reversible door

The design provides for the door to be reversed, i.e. for right-hinged (default installation) to become left-hinged.

Warning: Always disconnect the unit from the mains before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.

1. Remove the four screw covers (11) and the screws (10).

2. Remove the top panel (9), and the cover plate (8) from the front.

3. Remove the two screws (6) securing the upper hinge plate (5) on the right-hand side.

4. Carefully lift up the door and place it on a suitable surface to protect it from scratches.

5. Take off the white plug (7) and re-position it in the corresponding hole on the right-hand side, pushing it firmly down.

6. Remove the two screws (1) securing the lower hinge plate (2) on the right-hand side.

7. Take out the adjustable foot (4) and re-position it on the right-hand side.

1. Mount the lower hinge plate (2) using both screws (1) in its new position on the left. Ensure that the plate is aligned parallel to the side edge of the unit. (Do not fully tighten the screws yet.)

2. Replace the door in its new position. Ensure that the hinge pin of the lower hinge plate is inserted into the guide bushing (hole) in the door.

3. Mount the upper hinge plate (5) using both screws (6) in its new position on the left. Ensure that the hinge pin is inserted into the guide bushing (hole) in the door. (Do not fully tighten the screws yet.)

4. Close the door and ensure that it is properly aligned before fully tightening the screws of the upper and lower hinge plates.

5. Fit the top panel (9) on the unit and – with the door open – replace the cover plate (8) into the opening on the right-hand side of the front.

6. Replace the screws (10) and screw covers (11) on the top panel (9).

7. Put the unit back in its intended position and wait for about two hours before connecting it to the mains.

Temperature control

The unit is activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only switched off completely when the plug is removed from the wall socket.

The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by setting the temperature control. Turning the control clockwise will decrease the temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise will increase it.

- After switching on, the temperature control should be set to its highest setting.

- After approx. 30 minutes, the temperature should be changed to a medium setting, which is usually sufficient for home or office use. Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches on again.

Note: In position '0', the cooling function is switched off, though the appliance is still connected to the mains.

Interior lighting

Changing the light bulb:

• Remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Use a suitable screw-driver to remove the screw holding the light cover and take the cover off.
• Take out the defective bulb and fit a new one (max. 15 W., socket type E14).
• Put 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.

Freezer compartment door

To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the door to the freezer compartment should be kept closed at all times. This will also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost. Ensure, therefore, that the door is only opened briefly to place food in the freezer compartment or to remove it.

Freezing and storing food

- The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer compartment depend mainly on the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.

Freezer compartment:

• The freezer compartment is designed for deep-freezing and long-term storage of frozen food, and for making ice cubes.
• To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should be placed into the freezer compartments, properly spaced in one or two rows. Avoid contact with food that has already been frozen. Do not deep-freeze more than 2 kg of fresh food per day. Set the temperature control to Max. After 24 hours, once the food is well frozen, the temperature control can be set back to its original position.
• The time required to freeze food may be shortened by dividing it into smaller portions.
• For short-term storage of food inside the freezer compartment, the temperature control may be set to any suitable position between minimum and medium. For long-term storage, set the temperature control to its maximum position.
• Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent (i.e. non-coloured) plastic wrap or bags, or aluminium foil. The packaging materials should be well aired before use; check that the package is air-tight before freezing the food. We strongly recommend that you label every item stored in the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food, freezing date and use-by date.

Use-by dates for frozen food are specified (in months) in the table below.

Do not exceed these storage times.

2·6 4·8 8·12

- In the event that the unit remains switched off for an extended period (power failure or short-term malfunctions up to 10 hours), do not open the door; this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature in the cabinet.

- It should be noted, however, that even a slight rise in the inside temperature will shorten the storage life of the food.

Main cabinet

- 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 1-4; if it is insufficient, raise it to 4-7.

If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely cause is that the door has been opened for too long, 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.

Making ice cubes

A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray 34 full with drinking water and place it in the freezer compartment. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if the tray is left standing at room temperature for 5 minutes.

De-frosting and cleaning

- Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.

• For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water with some mild detergent. To prevent any unpleasant odour within the refrigerator, it should be cleaned about once a month.
• Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
• After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces again with fresh water before wiping them completely dry. When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands.
• To save energy, the compressor (at the rear) should be cleaned carefully at least twice a year with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
• Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.

De-frosting the freezer compartment:

Once the build-up of ice has reached a thickness of 2-4 mm, the freezer compartment must be de-frosted. It should be cleaned at least twice a year as described below.

• Ensure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket.
• Remove all food from the compartment, wrap it in newspaper and store it in a cool place to keep the temperature down. Note that, even with a slight increase in temperature, the storage life will be shortened and the food should be used as soon as possible.
• Keep the door open. To accelerate defrosting, one or several containers with hot (but not boiling) water may be placed inside the freezer compartment.
  Warning: do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to accelerate de-frosting.
• After cleaning, ensure that the freezer compartment is thoroughly dry; set the temperature control to its maximum position. After 24 hours, the temperature control can be set back to its original position.

Defrosting the refrigerator cabinet

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 ensure proper drainage of the melt-water, keep the drain channel and discharge opening in the cabinet free from any obstruction or blockage. A suitable pointed object can be used for clearing or removing a blockage.

Trouble-shooting

Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is switched on. These sounds are caused by:

- the electric motor within the compressor assembly; during compressor start-up the sound level will be slightly higher for a limited period of time.

- the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
