(The following instructions refer in the main to coolers manufactured for the United Kingdom).
The mains lead of your refrigerator is fitted with a non-rewirable, moulded-on, 13-amp plug containing a 3-amp
fuse. It is a regular earthed plug for connection to a regular earthed socket.
Due to the difference in the plugs used, an adapter will be necessary for other countries.
If the fuse requires replacing at any time, the fuse cover/carrier should be removed using a small screwdriver to
lever it out. The old fuse should be replaced by a 3-amp, ASTA-approved, BS 1362 fuse and the fuse
cover/carrier must be refitted before the plug is used again.
If the fuse cover/carrier is lost, a replacement can be obtained from the service shops. The fuse cover/carrier
must be of the same colour as that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug. Under no circumstances must
the plug be used without a correct fuse cover/carrier fitted.
If the plug supplied on the mains lead is not suitable for the socket in your home, it should be cut off and
disposed of safely, or destroyed, to avoid any possible shock hazard resulting from the plug being inserted into
a 13-amp socket elsewhere in the house. A suitable replacement plug should then be fitted as given below.
General guide to fitting any plug
Ensure the lengths of wire inside the plug are prepared correctly. Connections should be firmly made after all
conductor strands are entered into the terminal posts. When preparing the cable ends, take care not to damage
the outer sheath or the insulation surrounding the inner conductors. Tighten all screws. Replace the top cover
of the plug and secure.
Other versions
Your refrigerator has a 3-wire mains lead which is intended for connection to a 3-pin plug and a properly earthed
socket outlet.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead of this appliance 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 may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
the wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured green or green-and-yellow. The wire which is coloured BLUE
must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
WARNING -THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED!
If a 13-amp (BS 1363) fused-plug is used, it should be fitted with a 3-amp fuse. In other cases, the circuit to which
the refrigerator is connected should be fitted with a 5-amp fuse.
To turn on (Fig. 1)
- Turn thermostat knob (A) clockwise to position 6/MAX. Only after approximately 1 hour will the unit become
noticeably cool (frost on evaporator).
- The temperature can be regulated using the thermostat knob: '0'=off, 1-6 increasing degrees of coolness.
- After sufficient cooling (approximately 5 hours), the thermostat position can be set to a lower temperature,
between 2-5. The thermostat will now automatically regulate the set temperature.
To turn off (Fig. 1)
- Turn thermostat knob (A) anticlockwise to position '0' (a slight resistance will be felt just before this position).
- Pull out mains plug.
7. Liquid gas operation
Do not use any additional form of energy (mains). The unit must not be connected to town or natural gas
pipelines. It is only suitable for use with propane/butane gas (e.g. Calor Gas, Camping Gaz, Caravangas, etc.).
The refrigerator is equipped for a specific gas-pressure, corresponding to the standard pressure of the country
in which it is sold. The rating-plate states the pressure which is correct. It is important that a non-adjustable
pressure -regulator is used to reduce the pressure in the gas cylinder to the operating pressure specified on the
rating-plate, no other pressure may be used.
Needle valve operated gas control taps are NOT suitable for use with this appliance and must not be
used as a substitute for a pressure regulator.
