Always remember:
- Wrap up separately raw food and cooked food in aluminum or plastic wrap.
- Don’t remove the packing if useful information about the product are written on it.
- Don’t leave refrigerated products outside the refrigerator too long.
- Put the products that have to be eaten first in the front of the refrigerator.
- Put left-overs in sealed boxes and eat them rapidly.
- Wash your hands carefully before touching any food and before eating.
- Wash your refrigerator regularly. Use soap and water to wash it.
The use by date appears as follow: “Best before…” followed by the date or the information to know where the date
appears on the labelling.
Ice-Making
Fill the ice tray just below the brim with drinking water and place it on the freezer compartment.
It is possible to make ice faster by turning the control knob temporarily to its highest value but do not forget to turn it
back to its regular setting afterwards as the refrigerator might otherwise become too much cold.
Defrosting
Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as
insulation and adversely affects refrigerator performance.
Check the formation of frost regularly every week and when it gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator. To
defrost the refrigerator, turn it off and remove the ice tray and all food items.
Warning: normally the temperature of items of frozen foods would rise unduly during defrosting and so they should
be consumed within 24 h or discarded.
Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating appliance, as this might damage the plastic surfaces
of the refrigerator. Neither should any sharp objects be used to scrape off the ice.
The defrost water runs through the drainage pipe to a receptacle at the rear of the refrigerator where it evaporates.
Defrost water in the freezer compartment should be mopped up with a cloth.
When all ice has melted, wipe the refrigerator dry and restart it.
Place the food items back inside but wait until the refrigerator is cold before making ice cubes
Trouble Shooting and Maintenance
If the refrigerator fails to work, check the following points before calling a service technician:
1. That the above installation and operating instructions 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 battery ignition fails to spark, replace the battery if necessary.
If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because:
1. The ventilation of the cooling unit is inadequate.
2. The thermostat is set on the high temperature position.
3. The doors are opened frequently, or the gasket is not sealed properly.
4. Too much food is put at one time.
5. The gas pressure is incorrect - check the pressure regulator at the gas container.
If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a service technician.
The sealed cooling system must not be opened, since it contains corroding chemicals under high pressure.
Do not use open flame to check for leakage in the gas tubes!
