All food should be stored in its original packaging or in closed containers. Liquids
should also only be stored in closed bottles or containers. In this way food remains
moist, odours do not form and neither does excess ice form on the cooling unit. Allow
hot food and drink to cool down before placing them in the refrigerator.
The temperature in the freezer section of the unit is set at - 12oC. Frozen products
can be stored here for short periods (please follow the instructions on the packet
very carefully!)
Do not keep any easily combustible substances such as ether, petrol,
adhesive, propane gas etc. in the refrigerator, it could explode!
ICE CUBES
Fill the ice-cube container to 4/5 with potable water. Place the ice-cube container in
the freezer section. Wipe off any excess water to prevent the ice tray from freezing
to the surface.
To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn the thermostat to position 7 for a short
while. Remember to turn the dial to its normal setting when the ice cubes are frozen.
To remove the cubes from the ice tray, hold it under running water. Remove the lid
with the ice cubes from the ice tray and the ice cubes can now be taken out easily.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it must not be allowed to
become too thick since it impairs the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.
A552 model
To defrost turn the thermostat dial to 0 remove the ice tray and leave the cabinet and
frozen food storage compartment door open.
The frost will melt and run into the drip collector which should be located underneath
the frozen food storage compartment.
When defrosting is complete, remove the drip collector and turn the thermostat dial
to its normal setting.
Rinse out the ice tray, refill it with fresh water and place it on its shelf. Some drips of
water may come from the cooling fins during normal operation.
A300 model
Defrosting of the frost built up on the evaporator should be started with pushing in
the push button in the middle of the thermostat knob. It should be pushed until a
clickingish heardt. (The button remains in the pushed-in-position). Defrosting has
started. The defrost water is automatically evaporated by the heat generated by the
appliance. After defrosting is completed, cooling will automatically be started again.
(Push button returns to the original position.)
Defrosting should be repeated at least once a week.
Defrost water
During the defrosting process the water runs through a hose into a container on the
back of the refrigerator where it evaporates. This container does not need to be emptied.
Cleaning
Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh and hygienic. Switch off
the appliance and pull out the plug. Clean the interior and fittings carefully with a mild
detergent in lukewarm water.
