Frozen Food Storage Compartment
The ice trays should be placed in direct contact with the freezer
shelf for fastest ice making. Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream
should be placed in the coldest part of the compartment which is
on the shelf or just below it. Frozen vegetables, on the other
hand, may be stored in any part of the compartment.
The compartment is not designed for the deep or quick freezing
of foodstuffs. Meat or fish foods, whether raw or prepared, and
provided they are precooled in the refrigerator, can however,
also be stored in the frozen food storage compartment. They can
then be stored about three times as long as in the fresh food
storage compartment. To prevent drying out, keep food in coverd
dishes, in plastic bags or wrapped in aluminium foil.
Ice Making
Ice cubes can be made in the ice trays which should be filled with
water to within 1/4" (5 mm) from the top. To release the ice cubes
seize the tray with both hands and twist the tray. Cubes not
reguired should preferably be replaced in the tray. Refill the tray
with water and replace the tray on the freezer shelf.
Ice making is accelerated if the thermostat knob is turned to
setting “MAX”. It is a good idea to do this a few hours before an
anticipated need for ice but be sure to turn the knob back to
normal setting when the ice is formed or the foodstuffs in the
cabinet may become frozen hard.
To Shut Off the Refrigerator
To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to off position. If the
cabinet is not in operation over a period of weeks, it should be
emptied and cleaned and the door left ajar. The ice trays should
also be dried and kept outside the cabinet.
C l e a n i n g
To clean the interior lining of the refrigerator use lukewarm weak
soda solution. The evaporator, ice trays and shelves must,
however, be cleaned with warm water only. Never use strong
chemicals or abrasives to clean these parts or the protective
surface will be spoiled. It is important always to keep the
refrigerator clean.
Do not store explosive substances in the refrigerator, such
as cigarette lighter gas, petrol, ether or the like.

Remove the plastic cover 22 (Fig. 5).
Unscrew plug 20 and pull thermocouple straight out (Fig. 3).
Remove spring 21 (Fig. 3).
Pull out thermocouple sideways from burner housing.
Bend the new thermo-couple to the same shape as the old
one.
Reassemble in reverse order. Check that feeler has been
correctly refitted in relation to burner. See Fig. 3.
Mount plug 20, taking care not to damage the threaded hole
in the aluminium cap of the housing. The plug must be prop-
erty tightened to the valve housing to ensure good contact
between the thermocouple and the magnetic coil within the
housing.
The Thermostat
me refrigerator is equipped with a thermostat which is regulated
by turning the knob to different settings in order to obtain the
desired controlled cabinet temperature.
At OFF Under normal operating conditions the thermostat
valve remains closed and the burner is running con-
tinuously at the by-pass rate, just enough to keep the
burner lit.
At MAX The thermostat valve remains open and the burner is
running continuously at full gas rate. Lowest cabinet
and freezer temperatures are obtained at this setting.
Between these two extrems is a numbered proportion of the dial
over which various controlled temperatures can be obtained, the
higher the number, the lower the temperature.
As soon as the required cold temperature inside the cabinet is
reached, the thermostat cuts the burner main flame leaving the
by-pass flame to keep the safety valve open.
The Igniter
The refrigerator is fitted with a piezo igniter (see fig. 4) which
does not normally need any maintenance. If the igniter does not
work properly contact an authorized service point.
ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT
Cartridge heater
GAS EQUIPMENT
Flue Top and Baffle
This refrigerator is equipped also for electric operation, 120 Volts
A C.
The heat necessary for the operation of an absoprtion type cool-
ing unit is supplied by an electric cartridge heater mounted in a
pocket of the boiler system.
To replace the heater first of course check that the wall plug is
disconnected. Then proceed as follow:
1. Remove the plastic cover (22) of the main control structure by
loosening the two screws.
The flue baffle is suspended from the top and must be in position 2. Disconnect the heater leads.
in the central tube of the cooling unit. 3. Pull off the metal hose.
