PERATING INSTRUCTIONS
C
ONTROLS
T
he controls are located at the base of the refrigerator and
c
ontain the following elements - as far as the refrigerator is
e
quipped for the corresponding type of energy, fig 1:
A
rocker switch (A) is used to select the electric power
s
upply.
R
efrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (B)
w
hen the unit runs on 230 V.
T
he piezoelectric igniter discharges sparks over the burner
w
hen the button (C) is depressed.
T
he gas supply is turned on/off by means of the knob (D).
T
he refrigerator is fitted with a safety device which auto-
m
atically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out.
T
he safety device can be opened manually by depressing
k
nob (D).
R
efrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (E)
w
hen the refrigerator runs on LP gas. Please note that the
t
hermostat has no ``off'' position.
A
lso on the control panel is a flame indicator (F). Its pointer
(
red) is in the green zone of the scale when the flame is
a
light.
S
TARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
T
he position numbers refer to fig. 1.
L
P Gas operation
A
fter initial installation, after servicing, changing gas cylin-
d
ers etc., the gas pipes may contain some air which should
b
e allowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or
o
ther appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights
i
mmediately.
T
o start gas operation:
1
. Open the shut-off valve of the gas bottle (check that there
is enough gas). Open any shut-off valve of the gas installation.
2
. Check that the switch for mains operation is off.
3
. Turn on the gas supply by turning the (D) knob to position
4
. Set the thermostat knob (E) to the highest setting.
5
. Keeping the flame failure device buttom (D) pressed,
operate the igniter (C) until the flame lights.
6
. Keep the (D) buttom pressed for a further 10 to 15 se-
conds then release it.
Y
ou can check that the flame is alight by watching the
i
ndicator (F) (pointer moves to green area).
T
o terminate gas operation, turn knob (D) to ●.
2
30 V Operation
● Turn off gas opertion (when applicable).
● Turn the knob (B) of the thermostat to its highest (col-
dest) position.
● Set switch (A) to position I. The switch will light up green
when the power supply is connected.
R
EGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
T
he position number refers to fig. 1.
O
nce the refrigerator has been started it will take a few
h
ours to become cold.
O
n 230 V operation the refrigerator is controlled by a ther-
m
ostat and the thermostat knob (B) should be set at 3-5. If
a
lower (colder) temperature is desired, set the thermostat
t
o a higher figure.
O
n LP gas operation the refrigerator temperature is regu-
l
ated by the gas thermostat (E), which should be set at 3-4.
I
f a lower (colder) temperature is desired, set the thermostat
t
o a higher figure.
F
OOD STORAGE
A
lways keep food in closed containers. Never put hot food
i
n the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.
N
ever keep items in the refrigerator which might give
o
ff flammable gases.
T
he 2-star (**) frozen food compartment is intended for the
s
torage of frozen food and for making ice. It is not suitable
f
or freezing items of food.
N
ever put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen food
s
torage compartment as they may burst when freezing. Also
d
on't give children ice lollies straight from the compartment
a
s they could cause frost burns.
M
ost kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food
c
ompartment for about a month. This period of time may
v
ary, however, and it is important to follow the instructions
o
n the individual packings.
I
CE-MAKING
F
ill the ice tray just below the brim with drinking water and
p
ut it on the freezer shelf. It is possible to make ice faster
b
y turning the control knob temporarily to its highest value
b
ut do not forget to turn it back to its regular setting after-
w
ards as the refrigerator might otherwise become too cold.
D
EFROSTING
F
rost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating sur-
f
aces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as
a
n insulator and adversely affects refrigerator perfor-mance.
C
heck the formation of frost regularly every week and when
i
t gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator.
T
o defrost the `fridge, turn it off and remove the ice tray and
a
ll food items. Warning: normally the temperature of items
o
f fozen foods would rise unduly during defrosting and so
t
hey should be consumed within 24 h or discarded.
D
o not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of
h
eating appliance, as this might damage the plastic sur-
f
aces of the refrigerator. Neither should any sharp objects
b
e used to scrape off the ice.
T
he defrost water runs from a collector channel down a
t
ube to a drip tray at the rear of the refrigerator where it
e
vaporates. When all the ice has melted, wipe the refrigera-
Caution! Only use one source of energy at a time
