1. Warnings and directions

These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them
carefully before installing or using the appliance!

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

If you smell gas:

- Close the locking tap of the gas supply and the valve on the cylinder.

- Open the windows and leave the room.

- Do not switch on anything electrical.

- Extinguish naked flames.
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by

a qualified electrician.
It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in any way.
The absorption refrigerator is designed to be used specifically for the storage

of edible foodstuffs and drinks only.
There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that

there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component
failure and possible food loss (refer to relevant instructions for unit installation
under point 4.).

Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, be sure to
switch off the appliance and unplug it. Shut down gas operation!

Manufacturers' food storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to.
Refer to relevant instructions for food and drink storage under point 13.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or more
serious malfunctioning. This product should be serviced by an authorised
Service Engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used.

Never open the cooling unit; it is under high pressure.

2. Area of use

The unit may not be installed in motor vehicles and boats when using the gas
operation method!

Dear customer,
please read the instruction book and all additional information
before using the appliance. It is most important that they should be
retained with the appliance for future reference!

Operation using liquid gas is permitted only in well ventilated rooms ­which have a capacity (length x width x height) of at least 20m3 and have a
window (which can be opened) or a door to the outside - or out of doors.

Outdoor use includes tents (awnings) which are well ventilated throughout unit
operation and flat garden terraces.

There are no restrictions on electrical operation.
Site of operation must be protected from rain and other water sources.

3. Storage of gas cylinders

Liquid gas cylinders should never be stored in unventilated areas or below
ground (funnel-shaped holes). Avoid direct sunlight. The gas cylinder should not
be exposed to temperatures in excess of 50°C.

4. Installation

To be installed horizontally on a smooth, firm or any other appropriate surface.
If necessary, adjust/align using a spirit level or a water-filled vessel.

There should be a distance of at least 10cm between the back of the unit and
any other object (wall).

Avoid placing unit in direct sunlight and next to other sources of heat.
Ventilating ducts of the refrigerator should be kept clear of all obstructions to

ensure a good air circulation.
This will result in a good, energy-saving cooling system.

5. Cleaning

Before initial use and after defrosting or before prolonged periods of disuse,
clean the unit containers and door with luke-warm water and, if necessary,
washing-up liquid. Warning: do not inadvertently press or force the opened door
past its stop-point (this could cause the hinges to break). Never use scouring or
corrosive agents to clean the unit. Wipe cleaned surfaces dry with a soft cloth.

6. AC operation

Check that the supply voltage and line voltage data correspond to the type-plate
in the unit.

(The following instructions refer in the main to coolers manufactured for the
United Kingdom).

The mains lead of your refrigerator is fitted with a non-rewirable moulded-on 13
amp plug containing a 3 amp fuse. It is a regular earthed plug for connection to
a regular earthed socket.

Due to the difference in the plugs used, an adapter will be necessary for other
countries.

If the fuse requires replacing at any time, the fuse cover/carrier should be

5

removed using a small screwdriver to lever it out. The old fuse should be
replaced by a 3 amp ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse and the fuse cover/carrier
must be refitted before the plug is used again.

If the fuse cover/carrier is lost, a replacement can be obtained from the service
shops. The fuse cover/carrier must be of the same colour as that of the coloured
insert in the base of the plug. In no circumstances must the plug be used without
a correct fuse cover/carrier fitted.

If the plug supplied on the mains lead is not suitable for the socket in your home,
it should be cut off and disposed of safely, or destroyed, to avoid any possible
shock hazard resulting from the plug being inserted into a 13 amp socket
elsewhere in the house. A suitable replacement plug should then be fitted as
given below.

General guide to fitting any plug

Ensure the lengths of wire inside the plug are prepared correctly. Connections
should be firmly made after all conductor strands are entered into the terminal
posts. When preparing the cable ends take care not to damage the outer sheath,
or the insulation surrounding the inner conductors. Tighten all screws. Replace
the top cover of the plug and secure.

Other versions

Your refrigerator has a 3-wire mains lead which is intended for connection to a
3-pin plug and a properly earthed socket outlet.

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

GREEN-AND-YELLOW: EARTH
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may
not correspond with the coloured markings
identifiying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows: the wire which is coloured GREEN-

AND-YELLOW must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the
letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured
green or green-and-yellow. The wire which is
coloured BLUE must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is
coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured red.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED!

If a 13 amps (B.S. 1363) fused-plug is used, it should be fitted with a 3 amp fuse.
In other cases, the circuit to which the refrigerator is connected should be fitted
with a 5 amp fuse.
