Perishable items should bestored towards the back/ rear of the shelves.ie. thecoldest part of the shelf. (B) Defrost Water OutletThe interior of the appliance is cooled with a coolingplate mounted in the rear wall Under the plate thereis a channel and an outlet for defrost water.Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the drainchannel for blockage. They should always be keptfree and clean of particles.WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITHNO EFFECT ON THE OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE.Operating ControlThe temperature of the appliance is controlled bysetting the thermostat knob(top of cabinet) to a desired setting.Temperature Selection To start the appliance turn the temperature controlknob(top of cabinet) to the position corresponding to the desired cooling (on the graduated blue dial)Temperature range:6℃-15℃.Fig A The temperature will vary depending on the quan-tity of the item store d and on the frequency with which the door is opened.To turn the control to the “OFF” position, rotate thecontrol knob to the “0”position. If the appliance hasbeen left out of use for sometime, set the control to maximum for 2-3 hours before turning to the desired position. If the appliance is not being used for long time periods, disco nnect th e plug and leave the doorp artially open. This will help to reduce mold/milde wfrom accumulating insid e the appliance cabinet. Changes in ambient room temperature will affect theinternal temperatures(choose correct setting of thethermostat knob). In STOP(0) position the appliance does not operate(cooling system is switched off), yet power supply isnot interrupted. Temperature in the appliance also depends onhow often the door is opened.FIG A 5

Trouble-Shooting GuideSometimes you may come across minor problemsthat in most cases do not require a service call andcan be easil y eliminated. The problem may haveresulted from improper handling and/or installation of the appliance. Please refer to the below trouble-shooting guide to assist you in identify ing thepossible cause and solution to your problem. Shouldthe problem still persist after completing thesecheckpoints. Contact the closest authorisedservice agent in your area for assistance.The Appliance Fails toOperate After Connecting toElectrical Power SupplyCheck the power cord is properly connected.Check the power supply in the electrical outlet.(blown fuse/circuit breaker)Make sure the appliance is switched on.(thermostat knob in operating position)Continuous Operation of theCooling SystemThe door is frequently ope ned or left open for too long.The door is not properly closed(the door may sag,the gasket may be polluted or damaged).Perhaps you may have overloaded the appliance.The reason may be inadequate ventilation of thecompressor(assure adequate air circulation).Ice Formation on the InnerRear WallAs long as the de frost water runs to the channel andthrough the out let to the drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured.In case the ice formation on the inner back wall isincreased(3-5 mm),ice shoul d be manuallydefrosted.Set the thermostat knob to STOP(0) position andleave the door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layerwith sharp objects.After defrosting is complete, tu rn the knob to desiredposition and close th e door. The cause of increase dice formation may be one of the followi ng:-the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it iscontaminated, or replace it if it is damaged);- the door is frequently opene d or left too long;- the food stored in the appliance was warm;- the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.Water is Leaking From theApplianceIf the discharge water outlet is clogged, or thedefrost water drips over the channel, water will leakfrom the appliance.Clean the clogged outlet.Manually defrost the increased ice layer(seeice Formation on the Inner rear Wall).NoiseCooling in this appliance is made possible by coolingthe system using a compressor, which will produce certain noise levels. how noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.
During the operation
of the compressor thenoise of the liquid is hear d and when the compressoris not operating the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influencewhatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
After starting the appl iance,
the operation ofthe compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder, which does not mean that something is wrongwith the appliance and it has no influence on thelifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise willreduce.Sometimes unusual and louder noise maybeheard. This noise is often a consequence of inadequate installation.-The appliance must be level and installed on a firmsolid base/floor.-The appliance should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next to it.Check the accessories on the interior of theappliance, they should be placed correctly in theirpositions; also check, bottles, tins, and other vesselsare not touching each other causing rattlingand/or vibrations.8
