3. Cleaning
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly at intervals, as
necessary. Remove the shelves; these, the
ca inet interior and the door should e washed with a
warm solution of sodium i-car onate. Finally wipe
over with a cloth rinsed in warm water only, and dry
with a clean cloth. Do not wash any plastic parts in
water that is more than hand warm, and do not expose
them to dry heat. The outside of the ca inet should e
wiped down regularly with a clean, damp cloth.
NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS OR ABRASIVE
CLEANING MATERIALS ON ANY PART OF THE
CABINET.
4. Positioning the appliance
When first using this refrigerator please consider the
following points:
ENSURE REFRIGERATOR IS LEVEL
THE PIPEWORK AT THE BACK GETS HOT IN USE
THE REFRIGERATOR HAS NO 'MOTOR' AND IS
THEREFORE VIRTUALLY SILENT
ALLOW AT LEAST 3 HRS. FOR SIGNS OF
COOLING
During the refrigeration process, the appliance
gives off heat from the condenser (under the
upper part of the rear cover) into the
surrounding air. The more ventilated the condenser is,
the more effective the refrigeration will e.
The other condition for satisfactory operation is that
the appliance stands on a flat surface. This is est
seen y placing a glass of water on top of the
appliance.
It is important that the appliance is not directly
exposed to radiated heat (sunlight, radiator, near an
oven, etc.).
4.1. Installation instructions
The refrigerator is equipped with an electrically heated
a sorption cooling unit which is virtually silent in
operation. The fridge is designed for free-standing
installation, ut can e uilt-in if the following
conditions are complied with to ensure satisfactory
operation and maximum cooling efficiency.
IMPORTANT
Please follow the installation details below
carefully Guarantee is valid for products installed
as described only.
1. The refrigerator must be level both directions
2. There should be 20mm clearance to the wall
3. Ventilation must be provided as shown in
alternatives A B C or D (fig 2-3)
4. The ventilation duct must at least measure
105mm x the width of the refrigerator
5. Only the entire cooling unit must project into
the duct as shown
6. Air passing through the duct must not be
preheated by any source of heat
7. Ventilation grills if used must have
openings of at least 200cm2 each
During installation please ensure the mains
plug is accessible at all times.

5. Using the appliance
To start the refrigerator connect the plug to the socket
outlet and switch on the socket. The cooling fins should
show signs of cooling after a out 3 hours.
The refrigerator needs a out 6 hours at normal
am ient temperature to reach 6 °C in the storage
compartment.
5.1. Temperature regulation
The usual setting required is in the region of 2 to 3 on
the thermostat kno (Fig. 4), ut this can vary with
conditions of load and installation. If it is found
necessary to alter the setting,the kno can e turned
to a higher num er to produce a colder temperature,
or a lower num er to produce a warmer temperature.
The effect of any adjustment can e checked y
means of the thermometer after leaving the
refrigerator operating for a further period to settle
down again.
6. ICE CUBES
Fill the ice tray to 4/5 with drinking water, and place
the ice tray on the ice-tray shelf. Wipe off any excess
water to prevent the ice tray from freezing to the
surface.
To speed up the making of ice cu es, turn the
thermostat to position 5 for a short while. Remem er
to turn the dial to its normal setting when the ice cu es
are frozen.
To remove the cu es from the ice tray, hold it under
running water. The ice cu es can now e taken out
easily.
7. Useful suggestion
Do not overfill the appliance. It is advisa le to
leave some space etween the products in the
ca inet to ensure efficient and even cooling. If the
shelves are packed too tightly there may e
unaccepta le temperature variations.
8. Defrosting cleaning and
maintenance
Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it
must not e allowed to ecome too thick since it acts
as an insulator and interferes with the cooling.
This frost-formation is kept ack y the FUZZY
LOGIC system uilt into the appliance y switching
off the unit for two hours in every 24 hours. The
frost will melt and the defrost water will run through
the drain tu e from the drip channel into an
evaporating vessel located at the ottom rear of the
refrigerator. (Fig 5) The defrost water will evaporate
automatically into the circulating air and the vessel
will not need emptying manually.
If we want to switch off the unit, turn the thermostat
kno to "0", disconnect the refrigerator from the
electricity supply and leave the ca inet door open.
After defrosting the ca inet interior should e
wiped out with a clean, damp cloth.
9. Changing the lightbulb (If availa le)
If the light ul needs changing, pull out the plug
and proceed as follows:
Press the metal reflector to one side and draw the
lamp covering ackwards. Replace the ul and
push the covering ack into place.
A new 10-watt ul can e o tained at any service
shop.
10. Reversing the door hang (Fig. 6)
Lay the appliance on its ack. Remove the 8
screws (1). Remove the door, together with the two
hinges (2), from the housing.
Remove the two cover caps (3) from the housing
and place them in the open hinge holes in the
housing. Place the ottom righthand hinge in the
top left of the door and the top righthand hinge in
the ottom left of the door and hang the door on its
hinges in the open cover cap holes in the housing.
Secure the hinges and cover caps with the 8
screws.
Check that the door closes easily and is sealed
properly.

12. Changing the feet
Should you wish to install your miniCool, you will
not need the 40-mm feet. After having removed the
40-mm feet, you can then re-attach the 12-mm
feet, located inside the 40-mm feet, to the front and
rear fixing points. The 40-mm feet and the 4
remaining screws should e retained for future use.

11. Replacing the decorative
door panel (Fig. 7-9)
Remove the two screws (1) from the upper hinge of
the door.
Pull the door together with the hinge away from the
housing and up off the lower hinge olt (2-3).
Remove screws (4) and pull off the frame edge (5).
Slide the decorative panel (6) out of the door frame
and insert the new panel (7), so that the upper edge
of the panel runs exactly parallel to the upper edge of
the frame. A new panel can e inserted more easily
into the upper edge of the frame when the two corners
are cut off y approx. 5 x 5mm (8). Put the frame edge
(5) ack in place and secure with screws.
Place the door on the lower hinge (9), slot the upper
hinge into the opening, press together with the door
against the housing and secure with the two screws
(11).

14. Customer service
Before you call a service engineer, carry out the
following simple tests:
Is there a power failure? Check the fuses.
Is the plug firmly connected to the socket and is the
socket switched on? Check the socket y plugging
in another appliance, e.g. a ta le lamp.
Is the thermostat at the correct setting? (normally 3
or 4).
Has the door not een closed properly causing the
inside temperature to rise too quickly?
Is the refrigerator level?
Has the ventilation ecome o structed?
If after checking all the a ove points, the refrigerator
is still not working satisfactorily, contact your nearest
service engineer. State the pro lem, model, product-
and serial-num er.
(Details of the model, product- and serialnum er are
to e found on the data la el in the top left of the
inside compartment.)
This refrigerator is equipped with overheating
protection. An authorised service technician can
check whether this has een triggered or not.
In the event of a fault developing, contact your nearest
Service Centre-see local telephone directory.
