Installation

Power Supply

A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical sup-
ply. The supply must have a fuse rating of at least  13 Amps. If the
socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical
installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance
from the mains (e.g. a fused spur).
Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain
if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the
mains at the installation location.
e.g.: AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or 220 ... 240 V ~50 Hz
(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz)
The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left.
The mains cable may only be changed by a qualified electrician or
competent person. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact
your local Service Force Centre.

10.
Place the small square on the guide
again and fix it with the screws sup-
plied.
Should the  alignment of the furniture
door be necessary, use the clearance of
slots.
At the end of this procedure, it is neces-
sary to check if the door of the furnitu-
re closes properly.

sures not be observed.

Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the
same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is
inside, on the left.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of
having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA
approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with 
the coloured markings identifying the termi-
nals in your plug, proceed as follows:
1.The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the termi-
nal marked with the letter ÒEÓ or by the earth symbol or coloured
green and yellow.
2.The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal ÒNÓ or
coloured black.
3.The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked
ÒLÓ or coloured red.
4.Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire pre-
sent and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.

Starting up and temperature regulation

Important!
Only use the appliance when builtÐin!

+
1.
Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply.
When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal light-
ing is switched on.
The temperature control knob is
located on the right hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.

Setting Ò0Ó means:
Off.

2.
Turn the control knob clockwise past 
Ò1Ó. The refrigerating unit is now on 
and operates automatically.

Setting Ò1Ó means:

Hightest temperature, warmest setting.

Setting Ò6Ó (end-stop) means:

Lowest temperature, coldest setting.

Note:
From a food safety point of view +5 ¡C should be considered
sufficiently cold for storing food in the fridge.
At a low ambient temperature of around 16¡C, setting Ò1Ó should be
selected. At ambient temperatures of around 25¡C, select setting Ò2Ó. If
you require a lower temperature, select setting Ò3Ó or Ò4Ó.

Important!

High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set-
ting on the thermostat (positionÓ5Ó to Ò6Ó) can cause the \
compressor
to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must
run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.
The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the
fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also
Defrosting section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost
on the fridge rear wall.
If this happens, turn the thermostat knob back to a warmer setting
(position Ò3Ó to Ò4Ó). At this setting the compressor will be switched on
and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

Interior Accessories
Storage shelves

Various glass storage shelves are included with your appliance.
The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted:

+
1.
To do this pull the storage shelf for-
ward until it can be swivelled
upwards or downwards and removed.

2.
Please do the same in reverse to
insert the shelf at a different height.

Switching off the appliance

To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position
0.

If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:

+
1.
Remove all refrigerated packages.

2.
Switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat knob to position
0.

3.
Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from the electricity
supply.

4.
Clean thoroughly (see section: ÒCleaning and CareÓ).

5.
Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.

+

half size glass storage shelves.
Storing tall items:

+
Slide the front half of the Vario stor-
age shelf in another level to the rear.
By this means you will gain space to
place tall items on the storage shelf
below.

Correct storage

For physical reasons, there are different
temperature regions in the fridge. The
coldest region is on the lowest storage
shelf. Warmer regions are the top stor-
age shelf, the vegetable drawer and the
storage compartments on the door. The
arrangement example shows at which
places in the refrigerator suitable tem-
peratures for various types of foods exist.
The length of storage time depends on
the type of food - see manufacturerÕs
instructions.

Tip:
Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to pre-
vent drying and tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging:
Ð Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
Ð Plastic containers with lids;
Ð Special plastic covers with elastic;
Ð aluminium foil.

Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically

The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is
running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the
thawing frost evaporates by itself.
The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section
Cleaning and Care).

Variable Inner Door

The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at
other positions as needed.
