1. BEFORE STARTING THE
REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
Check that the cabinet is undamaged. Please
report any transport damage immediately to
your dealer.
Wash the cabinet and inner lining with a mild
unscented detergent and wipe it dry. Do not
use abrasive scouring powder, steel wool or
similar.
Connection to the electricity supply: See head
(7) and (8).
2. HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE
Operating panel: See fig. (1) page 7.

2. Thermostat knob for the refrigerator
section.
3. Thermostat knob for the freezing section.
4. Indicator for the connection to the electricity
supply (green).
5. Indicator for deep-freezing (yellow).
6. Button for deep-freezing.
7. Thermometer for the freezing section.
8. Warninglamp.
The thermostat knob is adjustable from 0
(stop) to 7 (coldest). Find the position of the
thermostat which gives you the desired
temperature. Start at position 4.
The refrigerator section
Never store hot foodstuffs in the cabinet and
remember always to wrap up the foodstuffs.
The evaporator of the refrigerator section is
automatically defrosted. The defrost water is
led to a tray on top of the compressor where it
evaporates.
Temperature
regulation:
The slide damper above the crisper bin
makes it possible to regulate both the
temperature and the humidity in the crisper
bins.
l Open slide damper reduces the tem-
perature and the humidity.
l Closed slide damper increases the
temperature and the humidity.
The freezing section
Operating panel. See fig. (1) page 7.
Deep-freezing: Push the button (6). The yellow
indicator will then glow. It stops glowing when
the button is pushed anew.
When the quantity of foodstuffs to be frozen is
larger than 3 kg the button for deep-freezing
should be pushed about 24 hours before the
desired freezing.
The button is pushed anew when the foodstuffs are frozen.
It is important that the deep-freezing takes
place as quickly as possible. Therefore, the
temperature of the foodstuffs should be no
higher than room temperature.
Otherwise follow the advice given in handbooks on deep-freezing and the choice of
packing material.
Place the foodstuffs so that they obtain
maximum contact with the freezing shelf.
Open the door only when necessary. The lamp
of the alarm knob, fig. (1). page 7, indicates
whether the acoustic alarm is on. If the lamp
is lit the acoustic alarm will sound if the
temperature is too high.
Please note that the water ices, if consumed
immediately after removal from the freezer
compartment may result in a freezer-burn,
and they should be allowed to warm slightly
before consumption.
Defrosting
The foodstuffs cause frost to be formed. A thin
layer of frost does not affect the performance
of the freezer.
Loose frost may be removed carefully with a
plastic or wooden scraper. Never use a knife
or other sharp tools. When the layer of frost
on the shelves is 5-10 mm the freezer should
be defrosted.
Note: The layer of frost on the front edge of
the top freezing shelf may grow slightly
thicker.
Do like this:
Switch off the freezer.
Take out the foodstuffs and wrap them in
newspaper, a blanket or similar and store
them as cold as possible.
Place a bowl with hot but not boiling water in
the freezer.

Page 4
Fold out the draining spout, mount the
enclosed extension and place a bowl under it,
fig. (3) page 7.
Wipe the cabinet when the frost has disappeared.
3. GENERAL ADVICE ON THE
USE OF THE APPLIANCE
The shelves in the refrigerator section can be
moved, fig. (5) page 7.
The door rack and the butter- and cheeseboxes are also movable, fig. (2) page 7.
The freezing shelf cover should be closed.
The covers are opened by pulling, fig. (6)
page 7.
To remove the baskets lift them over the stop
pins, fig. (4) page 7.
If the cabinet is not to be used for more than
48 hours the doors should be left open to
avoid ill smells.
The appliance is equipped with a high-quality
skin condenser.
Therefore, a slight heating of the sidewalls is
quite normal.
Lighting
This appliance is equipped with a device
which causes the light to switch off if the door
is open / left ajar for abnormally long time.
When the door has been closed for a couple
of minutes, the device is cut off and the light
switches on in normal way again.
Important!
In case of damage to the power cord it must
be replaced by a power cord of corresponding
type, available from the manufacturer or his
service representative.
4. MAINTENANCE
Only use an unscented detergent when
cleaning the cabinet inside.
Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug
when cleaning the cabinet.
The skirting board can be removed to faciliate
a vacuum cleaning of the floor. See fig. (1)
page 6.
Remember to clean the drain in the refrigerator section also.
DISPOSAL OF THE
APPLIANCE
The appliance contains recyclable
materials. When disposing of the
appliance, please contact the technical
administration or other appropriate
authority in your municipality. They can
inform you of the collection and recycling
measures used in the municipality.
5. HAS THE APPLIANCE
STOPPED WORKING?
Before calling a repairman, check that
the plug is properly plugged into the wall
socket.
The fuse is intact.
The power has not been cut off.
All controls are correctly set.
The quantity of foodstuffs in deepfreezing is
not too large.
Switch off the cabinet for 15 minutes (for
instance at the thermostat). Switch it on again
and after 5 minutes check whether frost has
formed on the evaporator.
Do not open the cabinet when unnecessary. If
the break appears to stretch over a longer
period (over 12 hours) store the foodstuffs, if
possible, in another freezer. Most foodstuffs, if
thawed on the outside but otherwise hard, can
be re-frozen.
6. SAFETY
Do not store explosive substances in the
refrigerator section, such as gas, cigarette
lighters, petrol, ether or similar.
Scrapped cabinets may become dangerous to
children at play. Therefore, remove the doors or
place the scrapped cabinet in such a way that
children cannot enter it.
Never store liquids with carbon dioxide in the
freezing section.

7. TECHNICAL DATA
This appliance meets the provisions of the
following directives:
89/336/EEC (electromagnetic compatibility),
73/23/EEC (electrical equipment designed for
use within certain voltage limits) as amended.
Household appliances sold in the EU also meet
96/57/EEC (energy efficiency requirements) as
amended.
The rating plate, which is placed either at the
back or inside the appliance, see fig. (7) page
7, provides various technical information as
well as type and serial number.
8. INSTALLATION
See drawings (1) and (2) page 6.
Install the cabinet in a dry place and so that it
is not exposed to direct sunlight or any other
source of heat.
Place the cabinet in a level position. This is
easily achieved by adjusting the adjustable
feet at the front edge of the base. The cabinet
should not rest against a wall on its hinged
side. When placing the cabinet on a carpet or
on a wooden floor, the placing should be
checked after a while to see whether the unit
has „subsided“ into the soft flooring.
The cabinets can be built in or put side by
side, see fig. (2b) page 5.
KF models put side by side with other models
require a distance of 2 inches between the
appliances.
For sufficient airflow around the cabinet it is
necessary to have a 4inches high air duct
right above the appliance, see fig. (2a) and
(2b) or an air duct that leeds the air up over
the top cupboard, see fig. (2c).
Make sufficient space for door opening as to
draw the baskets out, see fig. (2e).
The dimensions for building in are noted on
the drawings.
It is safest to place the earthed wall socket
above the appliance and at least 2.0 m above
the floor.
Any local installation rules for appliances of
this kind must be observed.
During a storm the electricity supply might be
cut off.
You should be aware of this when installing
the appliance in weekend cottages or elsewhere where you would not immediately
observe that the power has been cut off.
Construction and details in the accessories
are subject to alteration without previous
notice.
If the cabinet is to be adjusted:
See drawings (1) page 6
Take hold of the front panel with both hands.
Then lift up the front panel and turn out the
bottom part.
Adjust the tilt of the unit
See drawings (1) page 6
by turning the adjustable feet with a 13 mm
spanner.

Page 6
Adjusting the door
If the door bumps against the
bottom panel, this can be
remedied by adjusting the
feet as shown on the
drawing.

Side by side
Concerns all fridge/freezer
models:
If 2 appliances are to be
placed side by side, the
minimum distance between
these must be 30 mm. The
distance to other sources
of heat must also be at
least 30 mm.
