Place the food items back inside but wait until the
refrigerator is cold before making ice cubes.
CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it
fresh and hygienic.
Soak a cloth in a solution consisting of a teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to half a litre of warm water. Wring
out the cloth and use it to clean the interior of the
refrigerator and its fittings.
Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scen-
ted products or wax polish to clean the interior of the
refrigerator as they may damage the surfaces and leave
a strong odour.
The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean
now and again, using a damp cloth and a small quantity
of detergent. But not the door gasket, which should only
be cleaned with soap and water and then thoroughly
dried.
The cooling unit behind the refrigerator should be clea-
ned with a brush from time to time, but make sure that
the refrigerator is switched off when doing this.
TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR
If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
1.
Shut off any valve in the gas line to the refrigerator.
2.
Set the energy selector (A) to 0.
3.
Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as descri-
bed earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator and
the frozen food compartment ajar.
IF THE 'FRIDGE FAILS TO WORK
Check the following points before calling a service tech-
nician:
1.
That the STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR instruc-
tions have been followed.
2.
The refrigerator is level.
3.
If it is possible to start the refrigerator on any of the
connected sources of energy.
4.
If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, check:
•
That the gas bottle is not empty.
•
That all LP-gas valves are open.
5.
If the refrigerator fails to work on 240 V, check:
•
That the 240 V supply is connected to the refrig-
erator.
•
That the fuse is intact.
If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be
because:
1.
The ventilation of the cooling unit is inadequate; see
the paragraph PLACEMENT OF THE REFRIGERA-
TOR.
2.
The evaporator is frosted up.
3.
The temperature control setting is incorrect.
4.
The gas pressure is incorrect - check the pressure
regulator at the gas container.
5.
Too much food is loaded at one time.
6.
The door is not properly closed or the magnetic
sealing strip is defective.
If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a
service technician.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
The sealed cooling system must not be opened,
since it contains corroding chemicals under
high pressure.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the gas hose periodically for cracks or deep
chafing marks. Connections can be tested for leaks
using a soap solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME!
If there is any suspicion of damage, call for a service
technician.
We recommend that a service technician check the
refrigerator once a year.
SOME USEFUL HINTS
Make sure that:
•
Defrosting is carried out periodically.
•
The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left
open when it is not to be used for some time.
•
Liquids or items with a strong odour are well pack-
aged.
•
There is a free air circulation over the cooling unit at
the rear of the refrigerator.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PLACEMENT OF THE REFRIGERATOR
The room should have a capacity (length x width x
3
height) of at least 20 m
lated as well as follow all relevant national and local
regulations.
Further the room should have a window (which can be
opened) or a door to the outside.
It is important that the refrigerator is not subject to
radiation of heat from a stove etc.
For best performance also at high ambient temperatures
there must be a free air circulation over the cooling unit
at the rear of the refrigerator.
The refrigerator is designed for a free-standing installa-
tion and the clearance to the rear wall and to possible
side walls, should be at least 25 mm. The clearance
above the refrigerator should be at least 100 mm.
