Installation
Electrical Connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not
be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside, on the left and can be viewed when the salad boxes are removed.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Important!
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the fol- lowing code:
Green and Yellow Earth Blue Neutral Brown Live As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured mark- ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
1. The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter “E” or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yel- low.
2. The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked “N” or coloured black.
3. The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked “L” or coloured red.
4. Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.

Operating and Indicator Panel
A. Light button B. Pilot light fast-freeze C. Fast freeze button D. Temperature control knob and ON/OFF switch
The temperature control knob (D), which is also the appliance’s On-/Off switch.
The yellow pilot light (B) comes on when the fast freezing button (C) has been operated. The refrigerating unit then operates continuously.
Important note: if you operate the fast-freeze switch or adjust the tempe­rature control knob, the motor might not start immediately. This does not mean that your appliance has a fault.
Starting Up and Temperature Regulation
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicar­bonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or deter­gent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• Turn the temperature control knob (D) in the direction of “1“.
• Operate the fast-freeze button (C). The yellow pilot lamp (B) comes on.
Setting “•”: Off. Setting “1”: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting). Setting “4” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-how often the door is opened The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compart-
ment cannot be independently regulated.

Interior Accessories
Storage Shelves
The glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartment should always remain in position, to ensure fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer.
The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights:
Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and remo­ved.
To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse. Adjustment for tall goods: Remove the front half of the two-part vario glass storage shelf and insert it
at a different level. Space is thus gained for storage of tall goods on the underlying storage shelf.
Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed.
Variable Storage Box
Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways.
If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “4”, ensuring that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C. You should reset the temperature control knob to setting “2” or “3”, if this does occur.
As soon as the fresh food placed in the freezer has frozen, return the tem­perature control knob to “2” or “3”.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position"3" to "4") can cause the compressor to run continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting (position "2" to "3"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
