ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Before you insert the plug into the wall
socket make sure that the voltage and
the frequency shown on the rating
plate inside the appliance corresponds
to your electricity supply.
Rating label is on the left hand side of
fridge inner liner.
We recommend that this appliance be
connected to the mains supply via a
suitable switched and fused socket.
The appliance must be positioned so
that the plug is accessible.
Should the mains lead of the appliance
become damaged or should it need
replacing at any time, it must be
replaced by a special purpose made
mains lead which can only be obtained
from a BLOMBERG Authorised Service
Agent.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE EARTHED
If the fitted moulded plug is not
suitable for your socket, then the plug
should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted. Destroy the old plug which
is cut off as a plug with bared cord
could cause a shock hazard if inserted
into a socket elsewhere in the house.
The moulded plug on this appliance
incorporates a 13 A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced an
ASTABEAB approved BS 1362 fuse
of the same rating must be used. Do
not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the
event of losing the fuse cover the plug
must not be used until a replacement
fuse cover has been fitted. Colour
of the replacement fuse cover must
be the same colour as that visible on
the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers
are available from any good electrical
store.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1- Ensure your appliance is installed in
a well ventilated area.
2- Ensure the time between buying
chilled/frozen food and placing them in
your appliance is kept to a minimum,
particularly in summer. We recommend
you use a cool bag or a special carrier
bag to carry frozen food.
3- Do not leave the door (s) of your
appliance open longer than necessary
and ensure they are closed properly
after each opening.
4- Defrost frozen food in the fridge
compartment, so that frozen food acts
as an ice pack to assist cooling in the
fridge.

3 Installation
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
1. The space in the room where the
appliance is installed must not be
smaller than 10 cubic metres.
2. If possible avoid placing the
appliance near cookers, radiators or
in direct sunlight as this will cause the
compressor to run for long periods.
If installed next to a source of heat
or refrigerator, maintain the following
minimum side clearances:
From Cookers
2” (50 mm)
From Radiators
12” (300 mm)
From Refrigerators or Freezers
1” (25 mm)
3. Make sure that sufficient room is
provided around the appliance to
ensure free
air circulation. Allow a minimum of
60 mm (2.4 inches) between the top
of the appliance and the ceiling or the
underside of a wall cupboard.
4. Fit the two plastic wall spacers
supplied onto the condenser at the
back of the appliance by rotating them
1/4 turn.
5. The appliance should be located on
a smooth surface.
The two front feet can be
adjusted as required.
To ensure that,your appliance
is standing upright adjust the two
front feet by turning clockwise or
anti-clockwise, until the product is
in firm contact with the floor. Correct
adjustment of feet avoids excessive
vibration and noise.
6. Refer to “Cleaning and Care”
section to prepare your appliance for
use.
7.A special receptacle is supplied to
store the mains plug during transit.
The receptacle is fixed at the back of
the cabinet, on the right hand side of
the compressor. (See diagram) Gently
remove the plug from the receptacle.
Never pull the mains cord, you may
damage the appliance. In the case
of transportation, ensure you locate
the plug in the receptacle provided to
avoid transit damage. transit

4 Before operating
STARTING
Final Check
Before you start using the refrigerator
check that:
1.The front feet have been adjusted
so the appliance is level.
2.The interior is dry and air can
circulate freely at the rear.
3.Clean the interior as recommended
under “CLEANING AND CARE.”
4.Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
Avoid accidental disconnection by
taping over the switch. Green light will
glow and the compressor will start
running in about five minutes.
5.You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running or
not which is quite normal.
6.If you are going to store frozen food
open the freezer door and check
that the fast-freeze button is off (the
amber light will not come on). When
temperature reaches -18 °C or below,
you can put in your frozen food.
(See Storing Frozen Food ).
7.If you are going to freeze fresh food,
you must press the fast-freeze button.
The amber light will come on and you
must wait at least three hours before
putting in your fresh food to be frozen.
(See Freezing Fresh Food)
8.Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
9.We recommend that you set the
thermostat knob at MIN setting and
monitor the temperature to ensure the
appliance maintains desired storage
temperatures (See Temperature
Control and Adjustment section).
Important Note :
1.If there is a power failure do not open
the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than
11 hours. If the failure is longer, then
the food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and
then re-frozen.
2.If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed it,
don’t worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalise and
allow the door to open normally after a
few moments.
3.You will hear a vacuum sound just
after closing the door. This is quite
normal.
4. When you switch on, the appliance
will not start immediately, because the
appliance incorporates a protection
device in the electronics - wait for
about 5 minutes.
5.If the freezer door is left open [Or
ajar], the door open alarm will be
activated in a few minutes. You will
hear the audible alarm ‘’beep’’ warning
to make you aware that the door is not
shut fully. As soon as you close the
door, the audible alarm would cancel
itself.

food retailer is maintained the following
should be remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best
Before” dates on the packaging.

Do not freeze too large a quantity at
any one time.
You may place fresh food to be frozen
in any part of the freezer.
Do not close air flow channels while
looding.
For hygiene reasons, always wrap food
using a suitable packaging material
before storing in your appliance
to avoid contact with the appliance
surface.
Take special care not to mix frozen
food and fresh food.
Compartments other than the fast
freeze compartments shown with
(1) should only be used for storage
of frozen food shown with (5, 6 and
7). Ice bank (3) has been specially
designed to make and store ice cubes
(See Making Ice Cubes).
Icematic and ice storage
container
Using the Icematic
* Fill the Icematic with water and place
it into its seat. Your ice will be ready
approximately in two hours. Do not
remove the Icematic from its seating to
take ice.
* Turn the knobs on it clockwise by 90
degrees.
Ice cubes in the cells will fall down into
the ice storage container below.
* You may take out the ice storage
container and serve the ice cubes.
* If you wish, you may keep the ice
cubes in the ice storage container.
Ice storage container
Ice storage container is only intended
for accumulating the ice cubes. Do not
put water in it. Otherwise, it will break.
DEFROSTING
The appliance defrosts automatically.
The defrost water drains into a plastic
reservoir at the back of the appliance
and evaporates automatically.
Ensure that the reservoir is fixed
properly above the compressor.

6 Maintenance and cleaning
** We recommend that you switch
off the appliance at the socket outlet
and pull out the mains plug before
cleaning.
** Never use any sharp abrasive
instrument, soap, household cleaner,
detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
** Use luke warm water to clean the
cabinet of the appliance and wipe it
dry.
** Use a damp cloth wrung out
in a solution of one teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to one pint of
water to clean the interior and wipe it
dry.
** If the freezer is not going to be used
for a long period of time switch it off,
remove all food, clean it as above and
leave the door ajar.
** To remove a drawer, pull it as far as
possible, and then tilt it upwards, and
then pull it out completely.
** Any dust that gathers on the
condenser, which is located at the
back of the freezer, should be removed
once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
** Check door seals regularly to ensure
they are clean and free from food
particles.
