Why is the temperature too high even though the thermostat is properly set?

Check that the ventilation grilles are not obstructed and that the door gasket is clean and in good condition. Clean the gasket or replace it if necessary. Also ensure the evaporator is not frozen (defrost if needed). If the problem persists, contact the maintenance service.

How to clean the interior of the refrigerator?

Use water and a mild detergent. Never use abrasive or aggressive products. Clean the door gaskets regularly and check the magnetic strip. Do not disassemble fixed parts to clean the machine compartment.

What to do in case of water leakage?

Perform a manual defrost if the evaporator is too icy. Check that the appliance is level and adjust the feet if necessary. If seepage persists, contact the maintenance service.

Can I use an extension cord?

Appliance description

Air in/outlet Circulation

Type plate

Climate classification

A refrigerator is produced for optimal performance within certain ambient temperatures. This appliance is suitable for the following classification: N: from +16°C to +32°C.

Refrigerant

A hydrocarbon refrigerant (R600a) can cause frostbites and cold burns. Exposure to low concentrations may lead to dizziness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. When exposed to fire the container can burst open or explode.

Chapter 2 - Installation

Never install the refrigerator next to a heat source!

Operating principle

A refrigerator works by extracting heat from the space to be refrigerated and to release this in the surrounding area. For maximum air circulation it is recommended to allow at least 10mm space around the refrigerator. Be very careful never to obstruct the air inlets and outlets.

The advised maximal height of the load is marked with the load lines on the inside of the cabinet.

Installing the appliance

Place the appliance on a flat surface.

1 Place the appliance at his position.
2 Make sure the appliance is standing level using a spirit level.
3 The appliance must be placed with feet to provide adequate air circulation around the cabinet. This for an optimal operation of the appliance and to dispose of possible leakages of R600a. Also, the legs are used for appliance adjustment and leveling.

Fitting storage shelves

1 Hook pin into the opening of the rail and push bottom part towards the side.

2 This causes the pin to slot into the next opening in the rail.

3 Fit the other pins at the same height.

4 Place the storage shelf, sliding the pins in the openings.

Power supply

• If this device's cable is damaged it must be replaced with an original cable supplied by the manufacturer
  • In case of emergency: isolate from power supply.
  • The socket should be within easy reach of the cabinet.
• Check for the correct power supply, referred to the information on the type plate.
  • Ensure that the mains lead cannot be trapped or snagged.
  • If necessary the mains lead can be extended by a qualified electrician.
  • We do not recommend the use of an extension lead.

Fluctuations in the power supply can cause damage, which causes the cabinet to switch off. Gamko cannot be held responsible for any consequential damage.

Usage:

Filling the cabinet

This appliance is only to be used for the refrigeration of bottled and canned beverages.

• Fill the cabinet during a period when it is least used. Repeatedly opening the door will slow down the refrigeration of the appliances as cool air escapes.
• Beverages with a high alcohol percentage should always be sealed and stored in an upright position.
• To prevent bottles or cans from falling or blocking the air flow, do not place them on the edge of the shelf.
• The maximum load on the bottle trays is 50 kg.

To guarantee optimal performance and air circulation the air vents of the cabinets should NEVER be obstructed.

NEVER use the cabinet to store electrical appliances!

INFORMATION

• Apply the so called First-in First-out principle when serving beverages out of the cabinet. This to ensure that the coldest beverage is served.
• Close the doors if the bottle cooler is not being used to save energy.
• If the key is placed in the lock, it protrudes. This can be prevented by removing it from the lock. This way you prevent yourself from hurting yourself with the key.

With sliding doors, the cylinder must be pushed out of the sliding door when unlocked. The cylinder is replaced for locking. Keep the cylinder and the key in a safe place to prevent loss.

WEEE-regulations

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS BROCHURE IS IMPORTANT FOR THE DISPOSAL OR RE-USE OF THIS APPLIANCE AT THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE.

Gamko BV is attentive of the care of the environment and meets all requirements contained in the Directive 2002/96/CE, known as WEEE, or the Directive referring to Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment. This appliance conforms to the directive 2002/96/CE. At the end of its useful life the appliance, which is to be processed separate from household waste, should be transferred to a collection point of separate waste from electrical and electronic equipment. The objective of the Directive 2002/96/CE is to combat the increasing volumes of waste from electrical and electronic equipment, to increase the re-use of electrical and electronic equipment ("EEE") and finally to limit the total volume of waste EEE ("WEEE") destined to be disposed of. The symbol of the crossed-out waste bin indicates that this appliance is subject to the application of this Directive. It is the responsibility of the user to transfer the appliance to specialized collection points, as indicated by local legislation or the distributor. In case of installation of a new appliance the old WEEE appliance can be collected by the distributor at the same time. The manufacturer, importer and distributor are responsible for the collection and processing of the waste which is collected directly or through a collection point. The enclosed list contains Gamko BV distributors per country. Any violation of the above-mentioned Directive will result in sanction measures in all of these countries. In general, Gamko BV applies the "CECED interpretation" (European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical household appliances) according to which the WEEE legislation is applicable to portable air conditioners, dehumidifiers, window- air conditioning, split systems up to 12 kW, fridges and plug in freezer compartments. Nevertheless, it is possible that in the various member countries differences in legislation are detected. In case some appliances are not included on the list of WEEE appliances following national legislation, the national legislation should be adhered to, the WEEE directives applicable to appliances that are not included in the scope of these national legislations should be omitted. The directive does not apply to appliances sold outside the European Union. In case the appliance is to be sold outside the European Union, it is not necessary to adhere to the WEEE directive however; the vendor/distributor has to guarantee that local legislation is being observed. For further information please refer to the local authority for waste collection, the vendor/ distributor/ installer who supplied the appliance or directly to Gamko
