If the unit has been tilted more than 30^ during transport, allow it to stand upright for at least 4 hours before it is connected to the mains. - When the unit is first switched on, a slight 'new' 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 conditions where the relative humidity is no more than 70% .
- The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains details of the ambient temperature range suitable for this appliance.
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, a suitable insulation must be in installed between the heat source and the unit.
The unit must not be installed inside a cabinet, nor directly below a hanging cupboard, shelf or similar object. - Do not place any objects on top of the unit, and do not otherwise cover it.
- If the floor is uneven, the height-adjustable feet at the front of the unit 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 7.5 cm, sides 5 cm, top 10 cm.)
Reversible door
If required, the door may be reversed, i.e. from right-inged (default installation) to left-inged.
Warning: Always disconnect the unit from the mains before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.

- Remove the hinge cover (1).
- Use a suitable pointed tool to remove the cover (5).
- Use a suitable screw-driver to remove the two screws (2) holding the upper hinge (3) to the housing.
- Carefully lift up the door and place it on a soft surface to protect it from scratches.
- Remove the blind covers for the hinge mounting holes (9) and fit it in the corresponding place on the right. Ensure that the cover is firmly pushed down into the
hole.
- Pull out the two screws (7) which hold the lower right hinge plate (4) and the adjustable foot (6) in position. Take off the hinge plate (4) and the adjustable foot (6) and replace and tighten the two screws again.
- Remove the adjustable foot (8) on the left and insert it into the corresponding thread on the right.
- Unscrew the two screws on the left-hand side and install the lower hinge plate (4) with the two screws (7) on this side. Caution: Do not yet tighten the screws.
- Replace the door in its new position. Ensure that the hinge pin is inserted into the guide bushing (hole) on the lower part of the door.
- Install the upper hinge (3) on the left-hand side. Ensure that the hinge pin is inserted into the guide bushing (hole) on the upper part of the door. Caution: Do not yet tighten the screws.
- Adjust the closed door to its proper position and tighten the screws of the upper and lower hinge plates.
- Replace the cover (5) in the corresponding holes on the right.
- Replace the hinge cover (1) on the upper hinge.
- Put the unit back in its intended position and wait for about four 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.
We recommend turning the temperature control initially to a medium setting. After a certain time, the actual temperature should then be checked with a thermometer, and adjustments made if necessary.
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.
Storing food
- The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and cold storage compartment depend mainly on the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
Cold storage compartment:
- The cold storage compartment is specifically designed for short-term storage of fresh meat, fish and poultry.
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 door (from top to bottom): butter, cheese, eggs, tubes (eg mustard), small bottles, large bottles, milk and fruit-juice tetra-packs.
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
Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
- When the build-up of ice has reached a thickness of 2 mm, the unit must be de-frosted.
- Turn the temperature control down to '0' and leave the door open. The unit is now defrosting, and the resulting melt-water is collected at the bottom and in the drip tray.
- Warning: Do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to accelerate de-frosting.
- Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
- 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 with fresh water before wiping them completely dry. When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands.
Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
- To save energy, the compressor (at the rear) should be cleaned carefully at least twice a year with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Energy saving tips
- The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry room.
- 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.
- Do not cover the ventilation openings and grilles, and ensure suffcient air circulation behind the unit.
- The compressor (at the rear) should be cleaned at regular intervals. Accumulated dust causes an increase in energy consumption.
- Warm food should be allowed to cool down before it is stored inside.
- Do not leave the fridge door open for too long when loading or taking out food.
- Do not set a lower-than-necessary temperature. For detailed information on the temperature settings, please refer to the section Temperature control.
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is switched on. These sounds are:
caused by the electrical motor within the compressor assembly; during compressor start-up the sound level will be slightly higher for a limited period of time.

- caused by the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
The following table lists possible malfunctions and their probable causes and solutions. In the event of operational problems, check first whether a solution can be found using this table. If the problem persists, disconnect the appliance from the mains power and contact our Customer Service Department.
| Problem Possible cause and solution | |
| The appliance is not working at all. | There is a power failure. The main fuse has blown. The temperature control is set to '0'. The fuse in the wall socket (if applicable) has blown. This can be checked by connecting another electrical device to the socket and checking for function. |
| The normal operating sound changes or becomes louder. | Check for proper positioning (uneven floor?). Are any adjacent objects affected by the running of the cooling unit (i.e. causing them to vibrate?) Are there any objects on top of the unit which might be vibrating? |
Transporting the appliance
To prevent damage to the unit during transport, ensure that all accessories and components inside and around the appliance are securely fastened.
The unit must only be transported in its vertical position; do not tilt any more than 30^ .
Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30 minutes before it is connected to the mains.
If the unit has been tilted more than 30^ during transport, allow it to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it is connected to the mains.
