This absorption refrigerator has a (***) freezer compartment (-18°C) for freezing
ice an storing eep-frozen foo . (These values are maintaine at ambient
temperatures of between +16°C an +32°C). The normal refrigerator compartment
is coole by a separate evaporator.
Please read these instructions carefully before using the refrigerator.
To obtain goo service an ensure that the refrigerator operates economically, it

seven ays, at the latest, following elivery of the goo s.
TYPE PLATE
The type plate is afixe to the interior of the refrigerator an bears, amongst other
information, the following etails:
type
mo el escription
pro uct number
serial number
This information must be pro uce shoul it become necessary to contact customer
service. We recommen that you write these etails own here. Further technical
information can be foun in the paragraph entitle TECHNICAL DATA in these
instructions.
INSTALLATION
It is important that the refrigerator shoul not be expose to heat ra iation from hot
appliances (e.g. stoves).
To obtain goo service, also in the case of high ambient temperatures, it is important
that the cooling unit is sufficiently ventilate . The ventilation apertures at the top
of the refrigerator must not be covered up.
PUTTING INTO SERVICE
The 2 0V electricity supply must be provided by a socket earthed in
accordance with current regulations. Before putting the refrigerator into
service, please ensure that the mains connection voltage corresponds to the
voltage indicated on the type plate.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
An absorption refrigerator operates without making any noise whatsoever. The eep
freezer compartment shoul become col approximately one hour after being
switche on. Six to 10 hours are require for the refrigerator to reach normal
operating temperature ( epen ent on the ambiant temperature). If the refrigerator is
stocke with foo , the cooling perio is longer (8-18 hours).
The thermostat allows continuing temperature control insi e the refrigerator.
Normally, the regulating knob (B) is set at position 3-5. Shoul you require a lower
(col er) temperature, please turn the knob to a higher level.
FOOD STORAGE
Always store foo in close containers, aluminium foil or in a similar manner. Never
place foo in the refrigerator while it is still warm, always allow it to cool own to room
temperature beforehan .
CAUTION: combustible liquids and gases must not be stored in the
refrigerator. There is a DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
The (***) freezer compartment is inten e for freezing ice cubes an storing frozen
foo , for instance, ice cream. It is not suitable for freezing food. Most eep-frozen
foo , provi e it has not been thawe out in the meantime, can be store in the
freezer compartment for a perio of up to one month. However, this time perio can
vary. Therefore, the irections on the packaging must be observe .
FREEZING ICE CUBES
To freeze ice cubes fill the ish with water an place it on the bottom of the freezer
compartment. To accelerate the process turn the regulator up to the highest mark.
However, o not forget to turn it back again afterwar s.
DEFROSTING
When operating normally, the cooling ribs in the normal compartment efrost
automatically. In the case of increase air humi ity, frost may form on the cooling
ribs. Shoul the frost layer attain a thickness of approximately 3 mm, the refrigerator
must be efroste to avoi impairing the performance level. Even if this is not the
case, the (***) freezer compartment must be efroste on a regular basis following
heavy ice formation. This is carrie out as follows:
Set the thermostat at 0', disconnect at the mains, remove foo an ice ish
an leave the oors open. Do not expose the refrigerator to external heat an o
not attempt to scratch away the frost with sharp objects.
The raine water runs in a groove an from there continues along a pipe
through the refrigerator's rear panel an into a collection container on the cooling
unit, where the water evaporates by itself. Shoul the frost layer become very
thick, there is a anger of the collection basin overflowing. In this case the water
shoul be absorbe by a cloth place un er the ribs. The water in the freezer
compartment shoul also be absorbe by a cloth.

Following efrosting, the refrigerator shoul be wipe ry with a cloth,
reconnecte an the foo returne . However, you shoul wait until the following
ay before freezing ice cubes.
