Before use GB
Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the
section "Installation".
Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet
discharges into the drip tray.
Before inserting the power plug into the
outlet and switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave it standing upright
for about 30 minutes, or for 4 hours if it
was transported horizontally. Otherwise
the compressor may sustain damage.
This time will allow the oil sufficient
time to return to the compressor.
Using fridge GB
To start the fridge and set the
correct temperature
Turn the thermostat control to the desired position.
1:
The lowest position of the thermostat control results
in the highest temperature inside the cabinet.
6:
The highest position of the thermostat control results
in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet.
0:
Switched off.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
Temperature inside the fridge
A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx.
+5°C. If the thermostat control is set to a too cold
temperature, food with a high water content may
start to freeze if it has been placed in the coldest
places in the fridge. The picture shows the coldest
and warmest places inside the fridge.
(+ warm, - cold)
Meat, fish and milk should be put in the coldest part
of the cabinet.
The temperature will be affecteed by:
·How often the door is opened
·How much food is stored
·Position of the appliance (See chapter
Installation)

Measuring the temperature
If the temperature is measured using a standard,
single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of
water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will
reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do
not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly
on the shelf.
Hints:
·Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to
circulate freely between the products.
·Do not place food products directly against the
cooling plate on the rear wall since they may
freeze in this case.
·Also never put warm products into the cabinet.
Wait until they have cooled down.
·Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and
flavours from tainting other food.
Switching off
Set the thermostat control to the "0" position.
Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket
or, alternatively, remove the fuse.
Cabinet interior
The shelves and door compartments are removable
and can easily be re-arranged.
Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to
enable them to be removed.
The lower door compartment and the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer must not be moved.
They are required for proper air circulation inside the
cabinet.
Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the
raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and
thus prevent food products from touching the
cooling plate.

·Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is
placed. See the section "Installation". When
installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.
·Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door to frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the

Something Not Working GB
Before contacting your local Service Force Center check the following point:
Problem Possible cause / Remedy
It is too warm inside the refrigerator. Set a lower temperature.
Put food products in the right place inside the refrigerator. See
the chapter "Temperature inside the refrigerator".
Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate
around them.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the
insulating strip is complete and clean.
It is too cold inside the refrigerator. Set a higher temperature.
Vegetables and other products that are easily frozen have been
placed on a "too cold" shelf. See the chapter "Temperature
inside the refrigerator".
There is water on the cooling plate inside
the refrigerator.
This is normal. During automatic defrosting, frost thaws on the
cooling plate.
Water is running inside the refrigerator. Clean the water drain and drain hole inside the refrigerator
using e.g. cotton swabs or a bottle cleaner brush.
Some food products could have been placed causing the water
from running into the drain.
Water comes out on the floor. Place the drain hose at the back of the cabinet above the drain
bowl. See the chapter "Before using the cabinet the first time".
The compressor operates continuously. Set a higher temperature.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the
insulating strip is complete and clean.
The cabinet does not operate at all.
Cooling or interior light does not
operate. No indicator lamps light.
The power plug is not properly connected.
The fuse has blown.
The cabinet is not switched on.
Power does not reach the cabinet. (Try connecting another
electrical device to the power outlet.)
Sound level in cabinet is too high. The refrigerating system will always produce some sounds. A
pulsing sound is heard when coolant is pumped inside the
cooling pipes. A ticking sound from the thermostat can be
heard when the compressor switches on and off. The sound
level varies depending on the operation of the cabinet.
If you feel the sound level is incorrect:
Make sure the pipes at the back of the cabinet not touch each
other. Carefully bend them if they do.
If the cushion spacers (between the cabinet wall and pipes)
come loose, put them back in place again.
Carefully follow the instructions in the chapter "Installing the
cabinet".
