Electrical Require-
ments
Before you insert the
plug into the wall socket
make sure that the volt-
age and the frequency
shown on the rating plate
inside the appliance cor-
responds to your electric-
ity supply.
Rating label is on the left
hand side of inner liner.
We recommend that this
appliance be connected
to the mains supply via a
suitable switched and
fused socket. The appli-
ance must be positioned
so that the plug is acces-
sible.
Should the mains lead
of the appliance become
damaged or should it
need
replacing at any time, it
must be replaced by a
special purpose made
mains lead which can
only be obtained from a
BLOMBERG Authorised
Service Agent.
Warning! This Appli-
ance Must Be Earthed
If the fitted moulded plug
is not suitable for your
socket, then the plug
should be cut off and
an appropriate plug fit-
ted. Destroy the old plug
which is cut off as a plug
with bared cord could
cause a shock hazard
if inserted into a socket
elsewhere in the house.
The moulded plug on
this appliance incorpo-
rates a 13 A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be re-
placed an ASTABEAB
approved BS 1362 fuse
of the same rating must
be used. Do not forget to
refit the fuse cover. In the
event of losing the fuse
cover the plug must not
be used until a replace-
ment fuse cover has
been fitted. Colour of the
replacement fuse cover
must be the same colour
as that visible on the pin
face of the plug. Fuse
covers are available from
any good electrical store.

Energy Saving Tips
1. Ensure your
appliance is installed in a
well ventilated area.
2. Ensure the time
between buying chilled/
frozen food and placing
them in your appliance
is kept at minimum,
particularly in summer.
We recommend you use
a cool bag or a special
carrier bag to carry
perishable food.
3. Do not leave the
door (s) of your appliance
open longer than
necessary and ensure
they are closed properly
after each opening.
4.Defrost frozen food in
the fridge, so that frozen
food acts as an ice pack
to assist cooling in fridge.

appliance near cookers, radiators or
in direct sunlight as this will cause the
compressor to run for long periods.
If installed next to a source of heat
or refrigerator, maintain the following
minimum side clearances:
From Cookers 2” (50 mm)
From Radiators 12” (300 mm)
From Refrigerators or Freezers 1”(25
mm)
3. Make sure that sufficient room
is provided around the appliance to
ensure free air circulation.
4. The appliance should be
located on a smooth surface.
The two front feet can be adjusted as
required.
To ensure that,your appliance is stan-
ding upright adjust the two front feet by
turning clockwise or anti-clockwise, un-
til the product is in firm contact with the
floor. Correct adjustment of feet avoids

The following guidelines and
recommendations are suggested to
obtain the best results and storage
hygiene.
1. The larder fridge is suitable for
the short term storage of fresh food
and drinks.
2. Cooked dishes must be stored
in airtight covered containers.
3. Fresh wrapped produce can
be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and
vegetables should be cleaned and
stored in the salad crisper bin.
4. Bottles can be placed upright in
the door rack.
5. To store raw meat and fish place
either on the lowest shelf or in the
chiller compartment (recommended).
Do not allow to come into contact with
cooked food to avoid contamination.
For safety, only store raw meat for two
to three days. Fish should be stored in
the chiller compartment
6. Keep the food packed, wrapped
or covered. Allow hot food and
beverages to cool before placing them
in the fridge. Do not store poisonous
or dangerous substances in the
refrigerator. High proof alcohol must
be stored upright in sealed containers.
Left over canned food should not be
stored in the can.
7. Some fruit and vegetables
suffer damage if kept at temperatures
near 0 degrees centigrade. Therefore
wrap pineapples, melon, cucumbers,
tomatoes and similar produce in
polythene bags.
8. Do not leave frozen food at
room temperature to thaw; the best
way to defrost food is to put it in the
fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you
avoid defrosting food or food juices
drip onto other food.
9. For hygiene reasons, always
wrap food using a suitable packaging
material before storing in your
appliance to avoid contact with the
appliance surface.
10. Chiller Drawer humidity
controlsThis has been designed to
keep your vegetables fresh, without
losing moisture. For this purpose,
cold air circulates around the crisper.
The amount of cold air passing out of
the crisper can be regulated with the
controls found on the front of its cover.
You may set the humidity-control slider
to the position appropriate to adjust
the degree of moisture and coldness
of the foodstuffs inside. If you want
these to cool further, set the control
to “Open”, if you want them to cool
less but retain their moisture for a long
period, set it to “Closed”. Positions in
between allows you to regulate cooling
and moisture-retention as you desire.

gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running or
not which is quite normal.
6. We recommend that you set
the thermostat thermostat to 3 (three)
and monitor the temperature to ensure
the appliance maintains desired
storage temperatures (See section
Temperature Control and Adjustment).
7. Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait until
the correct storage temperature has

5Using your refrigerator
Led Indicators And
Control Panel
LED indicators in the front section of
your refrigerator are intended to help
you in monitoring the operation of your
appliance.
Keep your food in the refrigerator in a
safe manner by monitoring and using
these LEDs and controls as explained
below:
Quick Cool Button (1):
Used to cool the food quickly.
Compressor may not operate
immediately but after some time when
the button is pressed and this is quite
normal.
Thermostat Setting Button (2):
Used to set your refrigerator between
minimum and maximum values.
Temperature Indicator (3):
Displays the inner temperature of your
refrigerator.
Amber LED (4):
Lights up when the Quick Cool
button on the LED panel is pressed.
In this case, your refrigerator operates
continuously.
Press the button again when the food
you would like to quick cool comes to
the desired temperature and the orange
LED will turn off.
Green LED (5):
Lights up continuously after plugging
in your refrigerator.
Red LED (6):
It warns you by lighting up continuously
when your refrigerator starts to operate,
if not enough cooling effect is obtained,
when the door of your refrigerator
remains open for a long time and when
excessive food is loaded.
If the red LED lights up continuously
when the conditions stated in the
adjacent column do not exist, then call
our Authorised Service.

EN

Temperature Setting
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;
• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long
periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator
without cooling down to the room
temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in
the room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons by
using the thermostat. If the ambient
temperature is higher than 30°C, turn
the thermostat button to maximum
position.
Defrost
It is normal that ice crystals build up
on the surface of the rear wall of your
refrigerator while it is operating. There
is no need to scrape of wipe them off.
Your refrigerator defrosts automatically.
Water resulting from the defrosting
passes from the water collection groove
and flows into the evaporator through
the drain pipe and evaporates there by
itself.
