necessary. Remove the shelves; these, parts, as well
as the cabinet interior and the door should be washed with
a warm solution of sodium bi-carbonate. Finally wipe over
with a cloth rinsed in warm water only, and dry with a clean
cloth. Do not wash any plastic parts in water that is more
than hand warm, and do not expose them to dry heat. The
outside of the cabinet should be wiped down regularly with
a clean, damp cloth.
NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS OR ABRASIVE
CLEANING MATERIALS ON ANY PART OF THE CABINET.

4. Positioning the appliance

When first using this refrigerator please consider the
following points:
ENSURE REFRIGERATOR IS LEVEL
THE PIPEWORK AT THE BACK GETS HOT IN USE
THE REFRIGERATOR HAS NO 'MOTOR' AND IS
THEREFORE VIRTUALLY SILENT
ALLOW AT LEAST 3 HRS. FOR SIGNS OF COOLING
During the refrigeration process, the appliance gives
off heat from the condenser (under the upper part of
the rear cover) into the surrounding air. The more ventilated
the condenser is, the more effective the refrigeration will be.
The other condition for satisfactory operation is that the
appliance is levelled. This could be checked by placing
a glass of water on top of the appliance.
It is important that the appliance is not directly exposed
to radiated heat (sunlight, radiator, near an oven, etc.).
4.1. Installation instructions
The refrigerator is equipped with an electrically heated
absorption cooling unit which is virtually silent in operation.
The fridge is designed for free-standing installation, but can be
built-in if the following conditions are complied with to ensure
satisfactory operation and maximum cooling efficiency.

5. Using the appliance

To start the refrigerator connect the plug to the socket
outlet and switch on the socket. The cooling fins should
show signs of cooling after about 3 hours.

temperature to reach 6 °C in the storage compartment.
5.1. Temperature regulation
The usual setting required is in middle of the setting
range on the thermostat knob (Fig. 5), but this can vary
with conditions of load and installation. If it is found
necessary to change the setting,the knob can be turned
to a higher number to give a lower temperature, or a
lower number to give a higher temperature. The effect of
any adjustment can be checked by means of a
