Starting Up and Temperature Regulation
Wash the inside of the appliance ith luke arm ater ith a little bicar-
bonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of ater). Do not use soap or deter-
gent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting
is s itched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand
side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting “0”: Off.
Setting “1”: Highest temperature, ( armest setting).
Setting “6” (end-stop) : Lo est temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature
inside the refrigerator depends on:
-the quantity of food stored
-ho often the door is opened
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compart-
ment cannot be independently regulated.
If you ant to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop belo 0°C. You
should reset the temperature control knob to setting “3” or “4”, if this does
occur.
As soon as the fresh food placed in the freezer has frozen, return the tem-
perature control knob to “3” or “4”.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on
the temperature regulator (position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to
run continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a armer setting
(position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor ill be s itched on and
off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

Low Room Temperature Switch
When the room temperature is +
16° C or less, the Lo Room
Temperature S itch, located next

must be s itched on to maintain
the correct temperatures inside
the fridge and freezer compart-
ments.
Please note that in this setting
the interior light ill remain on,
even if the door is closed.
No damage can be caused by leaving the s itch in this position for
any period of time (see page 15 Lo ambient operation). Ho ever
should the temperature rise above 16°C remember to turn the s itch
off again.

Storage s elves
The glass shelf above the fruit and
vegetable compartment should
al ays remain in position, to ensure
fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer.
The remaining storage shelves can be
adjusted to various heights:
Pull the storage shelf for ard until it
can be tipped up or do n and remo-
ved.
To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse.
Adjustment for tall goods:
Remove the front half of the t o-part vario glass storage shelf and insert it
at a different level. Space is thus gained for storage of tall goods on the
underlying storage shelf.
Variable inner door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at
other positions as needed.

Fres Food Refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store arm food or evaporating liquid in the refrigeator
• do cover or rap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): rap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above
the vegetable dra er(s)
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special dra er(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or
apped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as pos-
sible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle
rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not in airtight containers, must
not be kept in the refrigerator.

Positioning
This appliance should only be installed at a location here the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rat-
ing plate, hich is located on the inside left of the appliance.

Reversing t e door
The side the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory adjust-
ment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.
Warning! When changing the side the door opens, the appliance must not
be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand.
The appliance should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight
and a ay from continuous heat and extreme temperature, e.g. not next to
a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse. If these tem-
peratures are exceeded i.e. armer or colder, then the appliance may not
operate correctly.
For building-in and door reversal instructions please refer to the relevant
instructions on the follo ing pages.

Freezing and Storing Frozen Food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder
before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The free-
zing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen
ithin a period of 24 hours. If you ish to freeze food several days in a
ro , please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the
rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved hen it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allo arm food to cool do n before freezing. The armth ill cause
increased ice formation and increase the po er consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
• Tha ed foods hich have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• Containers ith flammable gases or liquids can leak at lo temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers ith flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst hen
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, ine, sparkling ine etc. in the freezer.
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
• Ice cream or ice cubes can cause “frost/freezer” burns if consumed strai-
ght from the freezer.
Important! Do not touch frozen food ith et hands. Your hands could
stick to the food.
1. It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting hen freezing fresh food.
Depress the ambient s itch at least 12 hours before loading food to be
frozen.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 6 kg. of fresh food.
2. Place the packed food in the dra ers. Place food to be frozen in the bot-
tom dra er. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, other ise
the frozen food could begin to defrost.
3 Place frozen foods in the dra ers sorted by type, as far as possible.

Installation
Electrical connection
Any electrical ork required to install this appliance should be carried
out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not
be observed.
Before s itching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as
that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside, on the
left.
The appliance is supplied ith a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having
to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362)
fuse must be used.

ings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follo s:
1. The ire coloured green and yello must be connected to the terminal
marked ith the letter “E” or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yel-
lo .
2. The ire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked “N” or
coloured black.
3. The ire coloured bro n must be connected to the terminal marked “L” or
coloured red.
4. Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of ire present and
the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety
(shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
