Installation and Start-up Placement For safety and operational reasons, the appliance must not be installed outdoors. The appliance should be placed on a level surface in a dry, well ventilated room (max. 75% relative air humidity). Never place the appliance close to sources of heat such as ovens or radiators, and avoid placing it in direct sunlight. Installation The surface on which the appliance is to be placed must be level.
The appliance viewed from above If the appliance is placed beside a wall, there must be sufficient room for the freezer door to be opened wide enough to allow the drawers to be pulled out (fig. 4). Spacers The spacers on the rear of the appliance ensure sufficient air circulation. Fit the two spacers supplied with the appliance as shown in fig. 5.

Operation and Function fig. 12 Refrigerator section The thermostat button can be set from 1 (min.) to 7 (max.). A suitable setting must be found by trial and error. Start by setting the button to 4. Check the temperature, then adjust the setting upwards or downwards as required. Usually, a temperature of 41°F (5°C) is recommended for items stored in a refrigerator. To check the temperature, place a thermometer in a glass of water positioned in the center of the cabinet for 12 hours.
Glass shelves The shelves are made of tempered glass and can be repositioned within the cabinet. To move the shelves, the door must be opened 90°. To remove a shelf, pull it forwards and lower it. The shelf can then be removed and placed in the desired position. From the top and downwards, the shelves are suitable for storing bakery products, ready-made meals, dairy products, meat products and sliced meat. Storage boxes The storage boxes can either be placed in the door or on the glass shelves.
Freezer section The freezer section is a four-star freezer, approved for freezing and storing foodstuffs. With the exception of no-frost models, the freezer is equipped with a practical tray for freezing loose berries, ice cubes, etc. Freezing To keep food at its best, items must be frozen to 0°F (-18°C) as quickly as possible. When the Super Freeze (S) button is pressed, the compressor runs continuously, thus reducing the temperature as far as possible.
Defrosting Automatic defrosting of refrigerator section The refrigerator is defrosted automatically. Defrost water runs through a pipe and is collected in a tray above the compressor where the heat generated by the compressor causes it to evaporate. The defrost water tray should be cleaned at intervals. Defrosting the freezer The items stored and the humidity of the air gradually cause frost and ice to form in the freezer.
Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the inside of the cabinet. The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max. 150°F) with a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is important to prevent water from entering the control panel. The defrost water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located on the rear wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean.
Troubleshooting . Problem The control lamp is not lit. Water collects on the glass shelves. Water collects in the bottom of the refrigerator/freezer. Vibration or bothersome noise. Compressor runs continuously. Possible cause Power failure; the fuse is blown; the appliance is not plugged in correctly. Items of food at the back of the shelves are in contact with the rear wall of the cabinet, thus causing condensation to run onto the shelf. The defrost water pipe is blocked. The appliance is not level.
