INSTALLATION It is important that the refrigerator should not be exposed to heat radiation from hot appliances (e. g. To obtain good service, also in the case of high ambient temperatures, it is important that the cooling unit is sufficiently ventilated. The ventilation apertures at the top of the refrigerator must not be covered up. PUTTING INTO SERVICE The 230V 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. 20 GB TEMPERATURE CONTROL An absorption refrigerator operates without making any noise whatsoever. [. . . ] Should the frost layer attain a thickness of approximately 3 mm, the refrigerator must be defrosted to avoid impairing the performance level. Even if this is not the ) freezer compartment must be defrosted on a regular basis following case, the ( heavy ice formation. This is carried out as follows: Set the thermostat at 0', disconnect at the mains, remove food and ice dish and leave the doors open. Do not expose the refrigerator to external heat and do not attempt to scratch away the frost with sharp objects. The drained water runs in a groove and from there continues along a pipe through the refrigerator's rear panel and into a collection container on the cooling unit, where the water evaporates by itself. Should the frost layer become very thick, there is a danger of the collection basin overflowing. In this case the water should be absorbed by a cloth placed under the ribs. The water in the freezer compartment should also be absorbed by a cloth. *** 21 GB Following defrosting, the refrigerator should be wiped dry with a cloth, reconnected and the food returned. However, you should wait until the following day before freezing ice cubes. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Set the thermostat at 0' and disconnect at the mains. Defrost the refrigerator as detailed above.

Wipe the doors' PVC seals with a damp cloth and rub them with talcum powder from time to time. Never use scouring agents, harsh cleaning agents, heavily perfumed products, wax or similar items. Occasionly remove the dust from the cooling unit at the rear of the refrigerator, especially from the pipe coils and from between the ribs. Always ensure that the refrigerator is disconnected at the mains before carrying out this routine maintenance. PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE Should the refrigerator not be in use for some time, it should be disconnected. Set the thermostat at 0' and disconnect at the mains. Empty, defrost and clean the refrigerator as detailed above. Leave the refrigerator and deep freezer doors slighty ajar. HOW TO PROCEED IN THE CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS Before contacting customer service, examine the refrigerator to ascertain whether: 1) the instructions in the paragraph entitled CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR have been observed 2) the refrigerator is positioned on a level surface 3) the voltage connection is the required 230V 4) the fuse is not defective. Should the refrigerator not be cooling sufficiently, it may be because: the cooling unit is insufficiently ventilated, owing to the air inlet or ventilation aperture (mesh in the table top) being completely or partly covered the evaporator is covered with ice the thermostat setting is incorrect too much (warm) food has been stored in the refrigerator over a short period of time the door seal is not in its correct position, or the door is not properly closed. Should the refrigerator still not function correctly, contact customer service. Please refer to the paragraph entitled CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS.
