OPERATION
Before using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an
ÒOFFÓ (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:
Ð room temperature
Ð how often the door is opened
Ð how much food is stored
Ð position of the appliance
Important
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible
that because a very low temperature has been
selected, the motor is working continuously, which
prevents the defrost cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should
be selected on the thermostat and you should notice
that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is
correct.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the
thermostat to a higher number, however you should
turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic
defrosting.
Low Ambient Temperature Switch
To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently
when the room temperature drops below 16¡C, the
switch mounted next to the thermostat control should
be switched on.
The freezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh foods.
Freezing fresh food
When freezing large amounts of fresh food turn the
thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to
freezing.
When the food is frozen return to the normal
position.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 10 kg.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the door.
The food in the freezer will not be affected if the
power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should
the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen .
No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in
this position for any period of time (see page 11 Low
ambient operation). However should the temperature
rise above 16¡C remember to turn the switch off
again.

packing;
4. Remove the feet (B)
5. Remove bottom hinge (A).
6. Remove the freezer door by releasing it from the
middle hinge (H).
7. Unscrew the middle hinge.
8. Slide out the fridge door from pin (G), unscrew the
latter and then screw it down into the hinge-blade
provided on the opposite side, after having removed
the small plugs (I) which should then be fitted on the
opposite side.
9. Refit the fridge door and replace the middle hinge to

Attention
After completion of the door reversing operation, check
that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the
ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket
may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for
the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this
process by heating up the part involved with a normal
hairdryer on a low setting.
