[. . . ] The switch will light up green when the power supply is connected. REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE The position number refers to fig. Once the refrigerator has been started it will take a few hours to become cold. On 230 V operation the refrigerator is controlled by a thermostat and the thermostat knob (B) should be set at 3-5. If a lower (colder) temperature is desired, set the thermostat to a higher figure. [. . . ] Keep the (D) buttom pressed for a further 10 to 15 seconds then release it. You can check that the flame is alight by watching the indicator (F) (pointer moves to green area). To terminate gas operation, turn knob (D) to q. 6 DEFROSTING Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely affects refrigerator perfor-mance. Check the formation of frost regularly every week and when it gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator. To defrost the `fridge, turn it off and remove the ice tray and all food items. Warning: normally the temperature of items of fozen foods would rise unduly during defrosting and so they should be consumed within 24 h or discarded. Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating appliance, as this might damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. Neither should any sharp objects be used to scrape off the ice. The defrost water runs from a collector channel down a tube to a drip tray at the rear of the refrigerator where it evaporates. When all the ice has melted, wipe the refrigera- tor dry and restart it. Place the food items back inside but wait until the refrigerator is cold before making ice cubes. If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a service technician. The sealed cooling system must not be opened, since it is under high pressure. CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh and hygienic. Soak a cloth in a solution consisting of a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to half a litre of warm water. Wring out the cloth and use it to clean the interior of the refrigerator and its fittings. Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scented products or wax polish to clean the interior of the refrigerator as they may damage the surfaces and leave a strong odour. The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean now and again, using a damp cloth and a small quantity of detergent. But not the door gasket, which should only be cleaned with soap and water and then thoroughly dried. The cooling unit behind the refrigerator should be cleaned with a brush from time to time, but make sure that the re-frigerator is switched off when doing this. MAINTENANCE Concerning gas- and electric installations, only authorized experts are allowed to carry out maintenance and repair works. Besides, it is recommendable to contact an authorized service if it comes to repair works. [. . . ] The refrigerator is designed for operation on LP gas, the pressure of which must be 28 mbar for Butane and 37 mbar for Propane. Check that this is stated on the data plate. The refrigerator is not designed for operation on town gas or natural gas. The gas installation should only be carried out by an authorized gas fitter. [. . . ]
