hole.
6. Pull out the two screws (7) which hold the lower right
hinge plate (4) and the adjustable foot (6) in position.
Take off the hinge plate (4) and the adjustable foot (6)
and replace and tighten the two screws again.
7. Remove the adjustable foot (8) on the left and insert it
into the corresponding thread on the right.
8. Unscrew the two screws on the left-hand side and
install the lower hinge plate (4) with the two screws (7)
on this side. Caution: Do not yet tighten the screws.
9. Replace the door in its new position. Ensure that the
hinge pin is inserted into the guide bushing (hole) on
the lower part of the door.
10. Install the upper hinge (3) on the left-hand side. Ensure
that the hinge pin is inserted into the guide bushing
(hole) on the upper part of the door. Caution: Do not
yet tighten the screws.
11. Adjust the closed door to its proper position and tighten
the screws of the upper and lower hinge plates.
12. Replace the cover (5) in the corresponding holes on the
right.
13. Replace the hinge cover (1) on the upper hinge.
14. Put the unit back in its intended position and wait for
about four hours before connecting it to the mains.
Temperature control
The unit is activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only
switched off completely when the plug is removed from the
wall socket.
The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted
by setting the temperature control.
Turning the control clockwise will decrease the temperature,
while turning it anti-clockwise will increase it.
We recommend turning the temperature control initially
to a medium setting. After a certain time, the actual
temperature should then be checked with a thermometer,
and adjustments made if necessary.
Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been
switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it
switches on again.
Note: In position ‘0’, the cooling function is switched
off, though the appliance is still connected to the mains.
Storing food
∙ The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and cold
storage compartment depend mainly on the ambient
temperature, the temperature control setting and the
amount of food stored.
Cold storage compartment:
∙ The cold storage compartment is specifi cally designed for
short-term storage of fresh meat, fi sh and poultry.
Main cabinet
∙ Different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are affected
differently by the cooling effect. The warmest area is
around the door in the higher part of the cabinet, the
coldest around the rear wall and in the lower part of the
cabinet.
∙ The food should therefore be stored as follows:
∙ On main cabinet shelves (from top to bottom): bakery
items, ready meals, dairy products, meat, fi sh and cold
meats/sausages.
∙ In the door (from top to bottom): butter, cheese, eggs,
tubes (eg mustard), small bottles, large bottles, milk and
fruit-juice tetra-packs.
If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely
cause is that the door has been left open for too
long, or that warm food has been placed inside the
refrigerator or that the temperature control has been
set too high.
∙ Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to
absorb strong odours (e.g. cheese, fi sh, butter), should
be stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers.
∙ Warm food should be left to cool down to room
temperature before being placed in the refrigerator.
∙ Always ensure that the door is properly closed and
that the seal is not obstructed by food stored inside the
cabinet or door.
De-frosting and cleaning
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall socket before
cleaning.
∙ When the build-up of ice has reached a thickness of 2
mm, the unit must be de-frosted.
∙ Turn the temperature control down to ‘0’ and leave the
door open. The unit is now defrosting, and the resulting
melt-water is collected at the bottom and in the drip tray.
∙ Warning: Do not use any external device or other means
(e.g. heaters or heating fans) to accelerate de-frosting.
∙ Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
∙ For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of
warm water with some mild detergent. T
o prevent any
unpleasant odour within the refrigerator, it should be
cleaned about once a month.
∙ Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy
water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any
cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
∙ After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh
water before wiping them completely dry. When re-
inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you
have dry hands.
∙ Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside
the cabinet during cleaning.
∙ To save energy, the compressor (at the rear) should be
cleaned carefully at least twice a year with a brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
