10. Replacing the decorative door
panel
(Fig. 5.)
If the refrigerator is furnished with handle, it is the handle
that should be first removed at the change of the door
panel.
Remove the mounter screws (1) of the forehead panel.(3)
Remove rosette (2) (in case of with lock version fridge).
Lift and remove the forehead panel.(3)
Slide the decorative panel (4) out of the door frame and
insert the new panel (thickness max. 2 mm).
Place back the forehead panel,rosette and screw in
reverse sequence.
11. Fitting up and removing the
handle (optional)
The handle which can be found among the accessories of
the appliance should be fitted and removed as follows:
11.1. Fitting up the handle
(fig. 6., 7.)
11.2. Removing the handle
(fig. 8.)
12. Customer service
Before you call a service engineer, carry out the following
simple tests:
Is there a power failure? Check the fuses.
Is the plug firmly connected to the socket and is the
socket switched on? Check the socket by plugging in
another appliance, e.g. a table lamp.
Has the door not been closed properly causing the
inside temperature to rise too quickly?
Is the refrigerator level?
Has the ventilation become obstructed?
If after checking all the above points, the refrigerator is still
not working satisfactorily, contact your nearest service
engineer. State the problem, model, product- and serial-
number.
(Details of the model, product- and serialnumber are to
be found on the data label in the top left of the inside
compartment.)
This refrigerator is equipped with overheating protection.
An authorised service technician can check whether this
has been triggered or not.
In the event of a fault developing, contact your nearest
Service Centre-see local telephone directory.

The more medicines you store in the refrigerator then
reduces the hazard of freezing, if the unit has a short period
of time undercooling.
We take no responsibility for damage to vaccines
through freezing, if there has been a cutout in the
electricity for a short period of time.
The temperature readings may rise temporarily after opening
the door or placing additional items inside the cabinet.
It is important to reset the thermometer regularly to ensure
that the temperature is maintained between 2 °C and 8 °C.
On the battery transit strip must be removed to activate the
temperature display.

7. Useful suggestion
The appliance is equipped with a fan in order to have a
uniform inner temperature. The fan is operating only if the
door is closed. At a door opening the fan will stop, then it
starts again working when the door is closed.
If the fan incidentally stops, and the door of the appliance is
closed, the electronincs will emmit an audible warning signal
(continouos signal)
Audible warning signals to tell the customer to close the
door: If the door is kept open for more then 20 s, the
electronics emmits an audible warning signal (intermitent
signal with beeping frequency of 1 Hz), then after another 40
s it emmits another audible warning signal (intermitent signal
with beeping frequency of 2 Hz).
Do not overfill the appliance. It is advisable to leave some
space between the products in the cabinet to ensure
efficient and even cooling. If the shelves are packed too
tightly there may be unacceptable temperature variations.
8. Defrosting, cleaning and
maintenance
(Fig. 3)
Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it must
not be allowed to become too thick since it acts as an
insulator and interferes with the cooling.
We recommend to defrost the appliance in every 3 weeks,
or depending on the ice quantity on the cooling fins. While
defrosting the appliance should be switched off by
disconnecting the refrigerator from the electricity supply and
leave the cabinet door open.
The frost will melt and the defrost water will run through the
drain tube from the drip channel into an evaporating vessel
located at the bottom rear of the refrigerator. (Fig 3.)
After defrosting the cabinet interior should be wiped out
with a clean, damp cloth.
9. Interior light
(Fig. 4)
Two light-emitting diodes (A) on an electronic PCB illuminate
the cooling compartment when the door is opened.
Two sensors (B) control whether the door is open or not and
the LEDs will work accordingly.
