1. BEFORE STARTING
   THE APPLIANCE

Check that the cabinet is undamaged. Please
report any damage 

immediately 

to your dealer.

Wash the cabinet and inner lining with a mild
unscented detergent and wipe it dry. Do not use
abrasive scouring powder, steel wool or similar.
Connection to the electricity supply: See head 7
and 8.

2.  HOW TO  USE THE  APPLIANCE

Operating panel (see fig. (1) page 16.
1. Thermostat knob.
2. Indicator for the connection to the electricity

supply (green).

3. Switch for light.
The thermostat knob is adjustable from 0 (stop) to
7 (coldest). Find the position of the thermostat
which gives you the desired temperature. Start at
position 4.

DEFROSTING THE  FREEZER

The goods and the humidity of the air will gradually
cause frost and ice to form in the freezer unit. A
thin layer of frost or ice does not affect the
functioning of the freezer, but the thicker the coa-
ting, the higher the energy consumption. A little
loose frost can be scraped off with a plastic or
wooden scraper. (Never use a knife or other sharp
tool, as this may damage the evaporator unit).
When the frost and ice is about 4-5 mm thick, the
freezer must be defrosted. Do this as follows:
1.

Switch off the unit by turning the thermostat

knob to zero.

2.

Pull out the spout at the bottom of the freezer

and put a bowl under it.

3.

Take the food out. Keep it in the fridge or pac-

ked in newspaper to keep it as cold as possible.

4.

Placet a bowl of hot (not boiling) water in the

freezer.

5.

When the ice has melted, clean the freezer

with water and a little detergent. Wipe dry with
a soft cloth.

6.

Set the thermostat button again. Push in the

freezing button if there is a lot of food to be
put in the unit.

7.

Put the food in again when the temperature

has reached -18

0

C - you can see this on the

freezer thermometer (it takes about an hour).)

8.

Switch off the freezing button.

3. MAINTENANCE

Only use an unscented detergent when cleaning
the cabinet inside.
You may remove the top panel and wash it when
cleaning the cabinet inside.
Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug
when cleaning the cabinet.
The skirting board can be removed to facilitate a
vaccuum-cleaning of the floor. See fig. (4) page
17.
To make the cooling system work at its optimum it
is necessary from time to time to clean the wire
condenser and the compressor at the back of the
cabinet by means of a brush or a vaccuum cleaner.
Remember to clean the drain.

IMPORTANT!

In case of damage to the power cord it must be
replaced by a power cord of corresponding type,
available from the manufacturer or his service
representative.
