Before use

·Remove all securing tapes.
·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.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax,
polishes or products containing alcohol.
Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet
discharges into the drip tray.
·Before inserting the power plug into the socket and
switching on the appliance for the first time, leave it
standing upright for about 30 minutes, or for 2 hours
if it was transported horizontally. Otherwise the com-
Using the fridge
To start the fridge and thermostat
control
Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired
position.
MIN The lowest position of the thermostat control
results in the highest temperature inside the cabinet.
MAX The highest position of the thermostat control
results in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet.
H :Switched off.
Allow the appliance to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
appliance.
pressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the
oil sufficient time to return to the compressor.
Temperature inside the fridge
A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx.
+5°C. If the thermostat control is set too cold, food
with a high water content may start to freeze if it has
been placed in the coldest places in the fridge.
(+ warm, - cold)
Meat, fish and milk should be put in the coldest part
of the cabinet.
The temperature will be affected by:
·How often the door is opened
·How much food is stored
·Position of the appliance (See the Installation
section.)
Measuring the temperature
If the temperature is measured using a standard,
single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of
water centrally placed inside the appliance. This will
reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do
not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly
on the shelf.

·Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to
circulate freely between the products.
·Do not place food products directly against the
cooling plate on the rear wall as they may
freeze here.
·Also never put warm products into the appliance.
Wait until they have cooled down.
·Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and
flavours from tainting other food.
Switching off
Turn the control anti-clockwise past the click
position to "H".
Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket.
Cabinet interior
The shelves and door compartments are removable
and can easily be re-arranged.
Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to
enable them to be removed.
The lower door compartment and the glass shelf
above the salad drawer must not be moved. They are
required for proper air circulation inside the cabinet.
Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the
raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and
thus prevent food products from touching the
cooling plate.
Hanging h alf-shelf
The half-shelf can be moved sideways. It can be
hung under all door shelves, except the lowest one.
