OPERATING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR REFRIGERATORS V110 GE and V170 GE
INTRODUCTION
We are pleased that you have chosen this refrigerator
and hope you will derive muc h satisf action from using it,
but first a few well-meant words of advice:
It is important to read through these instructions c arefully before using the refrigerator .
T o ensur e good refrigeration and economical oper ation,
the refrigerator must be installed and used as described
in these instructions.
WARNING! The refrigerators are equipped with a lock.
The key should be kept away from children at a place
away fr om the refrigerator.
TRANSIT DAMAGE
Inspect the refrigerator for damage. Transit damage
must be reported to whoever is responsible for delivery
not later than seven days after the refrigerator was
delivered.
DATA PLATE
Check the data plate, inside the refrigerator, to ensure
that you have received the right model.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLS
To terminate gas operation, turn knob (A) to 0.
Electric Operation
• Set the energy selector (A) to position I.
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
The position number ref ers to fig. 1.
It will take several hours for the refrigerator to reach
normal operating temperature.
The temperature of the main compartment of the refrigerator is controlled by a thermostat. The thermostat knob
(B) should be set at 3-5. If a lower (colder) temperature
is desired, set the thermostat to a higher figure.
FIG. 1
The refrigerator can be run on either mains electric or
LP gas. Changing between t hese modes of operation is
carried out by means of control buttons positioned as
shown in fig. 1.
The energy selector (A) can be set at either I (= mains
electric), (= LP gas) or 0 (= off).
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (B). Please note that the thermostat has no "off"
position.
The refrigerator is fitted with a safety de vice which automatically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes
out. The safety device can be opened manually by
depressing knob (C).
The piezoelectric igniter discharges sparks over the
burner when the button (D) is depressed.
In the flame viewer (E) you can see a b lue light when the
flame is alight.
STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
The position numbers ref er to fig. 1.
LP Gas operation
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes may contain some air which
should be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the
refrigerator or other appliances. This will ensure that the
flame lights immediately.
1. Make sure that all valves between the gas container
and th e r efriger at or are op e n.
2. Turn the energy se lector (A) to posi tion .
3. Depress the safety device control (C) and hold it
down while depre ssing t he piez oele ctri c igni ter bu tton (D) repeatedly.
4. Check the flame indicator (E) to see whether the
flame is alight.
5. Keep the saf ety dev ice cont rol depr essed for a further
10-15 seconds.
6. Release the safety device control and again check to
see that the flame is alight.
DEFROSTING
Frost will gradually accumulat e on the refrigerating surfaces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts
as an insulator and adversely aff ects ref rigerator perf ormance.
Check the formation of frost regularly every week and
when it gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator.
T o defrost the refrigerato r, turn it off and remove all items .
Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of
heating appliance, as this might damage the plastic
surfaces of the refrigerator. Neither should any sharp
objects be used to scrape off the ice.
The defrost water runs from a collector channel to a
receptacle at the rear of the ref rigerator where it e v ap orates.
Defrost water in the freezer compartment should be
mopped up with a cloth. When all ice has melted, wipe
the refrigerator dry and restart it.
CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it
fresh and h ygienic.
Soak a cloth in a solution consisting of a teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to half a litre of warm water. Wring
out the cloth and use it to clean the interior of the
refrigerator and its fittings.
Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scented products or wax polish to clean the interior of the
refrigerator as they may damage the surfaces and leave
a strong odour.
The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean
now and again, using a damp cloth and a small quantity
of detergent. But not the door gask et, which should only
be cleaned with soap and water and then thoroughly
dried.
The cooling unit behind the refrigerator should be cleaned with a brush from time to time, but make sure that
the refrigerator is switched off when doing this.

TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR
If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
1. Shut off any valve in the gas line to the refrigerator.
2. Set the energy selector (A) to 0.
3. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as described earlier. Leave the doors of th e refrigerato r and
the frozen food compartment ajar.
IF THE ‘FRIDGE FAILS TO WORK
Check the following points bef ore calling a service technician:
1. Th at the ST ARTING THE REFRIGER ATOR instructions have been followed.
2. The refrigerator is level.
3. If it is possible to sta rt the refrigera tor on any o f the
connected sources of energy.
4. If the refrigerator fails to wo rk on g as, che ck:
• That the gas bottle is not empty.
• That all LP-gas valves are open.
5. If the refrigerator fails to work on mains electric,
check:
• That the mains electric supply is connected to
the refrigerator.
• That the fuse is intact.
• There is a free air circulation over the cooling unit at
the rear of the refrigerator .

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be installed by an authorised
person and conform to all relevant authorities.
If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be
because:
1. The ventilation of th e coolin g unit is in adequate; see
the paragraph PLACEMENT OF THE REFRIGERA-
TOR.
2. The evaporator is frosted up.
3. The temperature control setting is incorrect.
4. The gas pres sure is inc orrect - chec k the pre ssure
regulator at the gas container.
5. The door is not properly closed or the magnetic
sealing strip is defective.
If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a
service technician.
The sealed cooling system must not be opened,
since it contains corroding chemicals under
high pressure.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the gas hose periodically for cracks or deep
chafing marks. Connections can be tested for leaks
using a soap solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME!
If there is any suspicion of damage, call for a service
technician.
We recommend that a service technician check the
refrigerator once a year .
SOME USEFUL HINTS
Make sure that:
• Defrosting is carried out periodically.
• The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left
open when it is not to be used for some time.
• Liquids or item s w i t h a s t r o n g o dour are well pack-
aged.
PLACEMENT OF THE REFRIGERATOR
The room should have a capacity (length x width x
height) of at least 20 m
lated as well as follow all relevant national and local
regulations.
Further the room should have a window (which can be
opened) or a door to the outside.
It is important that the refrigerator is not subject to
radiation of heat from a stove etc.
For best perf ormance also at high ambient temperatures
there must be a free air circulation over the cooling unit
at the rear of the refrigerator.
The refrigerator is designed for a free-standing installation and the clearance to the rear wall and to possible
side walls, should be at least 25 mm. The clearance
above the refrigerator should be at least 100 mm.
The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position
in both directions, see bubble level at the bottom of the
refrigerator . Use the feet on the refrigerator to adjust its
position.

and must be adequately venti-
LP GAS CONNECTION
The refrigerator is designed for operation on LP gas, the
pressure of which must be 30 mbar for Propane. Check
that this is stated on the data plate.
The refrigerator is not designed for operation on town
gas or natural gas.
CAUTION! CHECK THAT THE GAS SUPPLIED
TO THE REFRIGERATOR IS AT THE CORRECT
PRESSURE. SEE THE REDUCING VALVE ON
THE LP GAS CONTAINER.
