Set-up dimensions
Warning: Take special care that the ventilation
openings in the upper part of the rear panel are not
blocked or obstructed.
Temperature control
∙ The unit is activated by connecting it to the mains. It is
only switched off completely when the plug is removed
from the wall socket.
∙ The green mains indicator light shows that the unit is
connected to the mains.
∙ The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be
adjusted by setting the temperature control (0-5).
Turning the control clockwise will decrease the
temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise will increase
it.
∙ The temperature can be set within a 0 to 10°C range.
∙ The temperature in the cabinet largely depends on
factors such as the ambient temperature, the setting and
the number of bottles stored.
∙ We recommend using a thermometer to check the actual
temperature inside the cabinet and make adjustments
as necessary.
∙ Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that
the seal is not obstructed by bottles stored inside the
cabinet.
∙ Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been
switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes
before it switches on again.
∙ Note: With the temperature control in position '0',
only the compressor is switched off, while the fan is
still running.
Ventilation
The heated air
around the rear of
the unit must be able
to circulate freely.
Therefore, ensure that
the air circulation is
not obstructed.
Interior lighting
∙ The interior light can be switched on by means of the
separate On/Off switch.
∙ Caution: Do not remove the cover of the interior LED
light. If there should be any malfunction, please contact
the customer service for assistance.
Cleaning and defrosting
During operation, you may notice a build-up of frost around
the integral evaporator sealed into the rear of the inside
cabinet. This layer of frost will start melting when the
compressor is not working. Through a system of hoses,
the melt-water drains into the collection tray below the
compressor, where it will be absorbed into the surrounding
air.
∙ The unit does not therefore require de-frosting, but only
proper cleaning.
∙ To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure
that the channel and discharge opening in the cabinet
are free of any blockage.
∙ Any water collecting in the bottom should be removed.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall socket before
cleaning.
∙ Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
∙ Do not use aggressive cleaning detergents or those
containing alcohol. Also, do not use electrical devices
such as steam cleaning devices for defrosting or
cleaning.
∙ For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm
water with some mild detergent.
∙ The cabinet should be cleaned once a month.
∙ Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy
water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
∙ After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh
water before wiping them completely dry. When re-
inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you
have dry hands.
∙ To save energy and to ensure optimum performance, the
compressor (at the rear) should be carefully cleaned at
least twice a year, with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is
switched on. These sounds are caused by:
∙ the electric
motor within
the compressor
assembly; during
compressor
start-up the sound
level will be slightly
higher for a short
time.
∙ the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.

probable causes and solutions. In the event of operational
problems, check first whether a solution can be found
