3. Cleaning

Clean the refrigerator thoroughly at intervals, as necessary. Remove the shelves; these, the cabinet interior and the door

should be washed with a warm solution of sodium bicarbonate. Finally wipe over with a cloth rinsed in warm water only, and dry with a clean cloth. Do not wash any plastic parts in water that is more than hand warm, and do not expose them to dry heat. The outside of the cabinet should be wiped down regularly with a clean, damp cloth.

NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS OR ABRASIVE CLEANING MATERIALS ON ANY PART OF THE CABINET.

4. Positioning the appliance

When first using this refrigerator please consider the following points:

ENSURE REFRIGERATOR IS LEVEL THE PIPEWORK AT THE BACK GETS HOT IN USE THE REFRIGERATOR HAS NO 'MOTOR' AND IS THEREFORE

VIRTUALLY SILENT ALLOW AT LEAST 3 HRS. FOR SIGNS OF COOLING

During the refrigeration process, the appliance gives off heat

from the condenser (under the upper part of the rear cover)

into the surrounding air. The more ventilated the condenser is, the more effective the refrigeration will be.

The other condition for satisfactory operation is that the appliance stands on a flat surface. This is best seen by placing a glass of water on top of the appliance.

It is important that the appliance is not directly exposed to radiated heat (sunlight, radiator, near an oven, etc.).

4.1. Installation instructions

The refrigerator is equipped with an electrically heated absorption cooling unit which is virtually silent in operation. The fridge is designed for free-standing installation, but can be built-in if the following conditions are complied with to ensure satisfactory operation and maximum cooling efficiency.

IMPORTANT

Please follow the installation details below carefully Guarantee is valid for products installed as described only.

1. The refrigerator must be le

vel both directions

2. There should be 20mm clearance to the wall

3. Ventilation must be provided as shown in alternatives A, B, C

or D (fig 2-3)

4. The ventilation duct must at least measure 105mm x the

width of the refrigerator

5. Only

the entire cooling unit must project into the duct as

shown

6. Air passing thr

ough the duct must not be preheated by any

source of heat

7. Ventilation grills, if used, must have openings of at leas

200cm2 each

During installation, please ensure the mains plug is accessible at all times.

5. Using the appliance

To start the refrigerator connect the plug to the socket outlet and switch on the socket. The cooling fins should show signs of cooling after about 3 hours.

The refrigerator needs about 6 hours at normal ambient temperature to reach 6 °C in the storage compartment.

5.1. Temperature regulation

The usual setting required is in middle of the setting range on the thermostat knob (Fig. 4-6), but this can vary with conditions of load and installation. If it is found necessary to alter the setting,the knob can be turned to a higher number to produce a colder temperature, or a lower number to produce a warmer temperature. The effect of any adjustment can be checked by means of a thermometer after leaving the refrigerator operating for a further period to settle down again.

6. Ice cubes

Fill the ice tray to 4/5 with drinking water, and place the ice tray on the ice-tray shelf. Wipe off any excess water to prevent the ice tray from freezing to the surface.

To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn the thermostat to position MAX for a short while. Remember to turn the dial to its normal setting when the ice cubes are frozen.

To remove the cubes from the ice tray, hold it under running water. The ice cubes can now be taken out easily.

7. Useful suggestion

Do not overfill the appliance. It is advisable to leave some space between the products in the cabinet to ensure efficient and even cooling. If the shelves are packed too tightly there may be unacceptable temperature variations.

8. Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance

Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it must not be allowed to become too thick since it acts as an insulator and interferes with the cooling.

Fuzzy logic and times switch defrosting (fig. 4)

This frost-formation is kept back by the FUZZY LOGIC system built into the appliance by switching off the unit for two hours in every 24 hours. The frost will melt and the defrost water will run through the drain tube from the drip channel into an evaporating vessel located at the bottom rear of the refrigerator at all models. (Fig 7) The defrost water will evaporate automatically into the circulating air and the vessel will not need emptying manually.

Semi-automatic defrosting (fig. 5)

A semi-automatic defrosting model device can be identified by the push -button in the centre of the thermostat dial. To defrost, push in the button in the centre of the thermostat dial but do not turn the dial to another position-leave it at its usual setting. Close the door. The defrost button will stay in and the cooling unit will remain switched off until the frost has melted. The defrost button will then automatically spring out to its normal position and the refrigerator will start work again. The time taken to defrost will depend on the amount of frost to be removed and the room temperature. If we want to switch off the unit, turn the thermostat knob to "0", disconnect the refrigerator from the electricity supply and leave the cabinet door open. After defrosting the cabinet interior should be wiped out with a clean, damp cloth.

Automatic defrosting (fig.6)

When operating normally, the cooling ribs in the normal compartment defrost automatically. In the case of increased air humidity, frost may form on the cooling ribs. Should the frost layer attain a thickness of approximately 3 mm, the refrigerator must be defrosted to avoid impairing the performance level. Even if this is not the case, the (** and ***) freezer compartment must be defrosted on a regular basis following heavy ice formation every 2-3 months. This is carried out as follows:

Set the thermostat at 0, disconnect at the mains, remove food and ice dish and leave the doors open. Do not expose the refrigerator to external heat and do not attempt to scratch away the frost with sharp objects.

The drained water runs in a groove and from there continues along

a pipe through the refrigerator's rear panel and into a collection container on the cooling unit, where the water evaporates by itself (fig 7). Should the frost layer become very thick, there is a danger of the collection basin overflowing. In this case the water should be absorbed by a cloth placed under the ribs. The water in the freezer compartment should also be absorbed by a cloth.

Following defrosting, the refrigerator should be wiped dry with a cloth, reconnected and the food returned. However, you should wait until the following day before freezing ice cubes.

9. Changing the lightbulb (If available)

If the lightbulb needs changing, pull out the plug and proceed as follows:

Press the metal reflector to one side and draw the lamp covering backwards. Replace the bulb and push the covering back into place.

A new max. 10-watt bulb can be obtained at any service shop.

10. Reversing the door hang, (Fig. 8)

The direction the door opens can be transferred from one side to the other by carrying out the following steps:

disconnect at the mains

lay the refrigerator down carefully on its back remove the lower hinge  and detach the door remove the two upper left-hand screws and detach the

covering plate  by pulling it forward detach the upper hinge and mount it on the opposite side remove the hinge bolt and screw it in from below insert the covering plate in the upper right-hand corner by

pushing it in and secure it with the two screws position the door on the upper hinge bolt and mount the lower

hinge ensure the door can move freely and the seal is correctly

positioned.

11. Replacing the decorative door panel,

(Fig. 9-11)

Remove the two screws (1) from the upper hinge of the door. Pull the door together with the hinge away from the housing and up

off the lower hinge bolt (2-3).

Figure 6.

Figure 7.

Figure 8.

Page 7

Remove screws (4) and pull off the frame edge (5). Slide the decorative panel (6) out of the door frame and insert the new

panel (7), so that the upper edge of the panel runs exactly parallel to the upper edge of the frame. A new panel can be inserted more easily into the upper edge of the frame when the two corners are cut off by approx. 5 x 5mm (8). Put the frame edge (5) back in place and secure with screws.

Place the door on the lower hinge (9), slot the upper hinge into the opening, press together with the door against the housing and secure with the two screws (11).

EA 3280 (Fig. 12)

A door decoration plate can be changed or fitted quite simply.

detach and remove the plastic strip from the frame at one end pull the door plate slightly downwards pull the plate from the middle to the outside until it can be detached

on the side fit in the new plate and push it upwards attach plastic strip.

12. Changing the feet (Fig. 13)

Should you wish to install your miniCool, you will not need the 40mm feet. After having removed the 40-mm feet, you can then reattach the 12-mm feet, located inside the 40-mm feet, to the front and rear fixing points. The 40-mm feet and the 4 remaining screws should be retained for future use.

13. Assembly of door handle (Fig. 14)

14. Customer service

Before you call a service engineer, carry out the following simple tests:

Is there a power failure? Check the fuses. Is the plug firmly connected to the socket and is the socket

switched on? Check the socket by plugging in another appliance, e.g. a table lamp.

Is the thermostat at the correct setting? (normally 3 or 4). Has the door not been closed properly causing the inside

temperature to rise too quickly? Is the refrigerator level? Has the defrosting button been inadvertently pushed in? (only

for semi-automatic defrost) If , so turn the thermostat dial to "0" and the defrosting button

will be released. Reset the dial to its usual position and the refrigerator should start cool again.

Has the ventilation become obstructed?

If after checking all the above points, the refrigerator is still not working satisfactorily, contact your nearest service engineer. State the problem, model, product- and serial-number.

(Details of the model, product- and serialnumber are to be found on the data label in the top left of the inside compartment.)

This refrigerator is equipped with overheating protection. An authorised service technician can check whether this has been triggered or not.

In the event of a fault developing, contact your nearest Service Centre-see local telephone directory.
