Frozen Food Storage Compartment

The ice trays should be placed in direct contact with the freezer

shelf for fastest ice making. Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream

should be placed in the coldest part of the compartment which is

at the bottom of the aluminium liner or, in models with a shelf, on

this or just below it. Frozen vegetables, on the other hand, may

be stored in any part of the compartment.

The compartment is not designed for the deep or quick

freezing of foodstuffs. Meat or fish foods, whether raw or

prepared, and provided they are pre-cooled in the

refrigerator, can however, also be stored in the frozen

food storage compartment. They can then be stored

about three times as long as in the fresh food storage

compartment. To prevent drying out, keep food in covered

dishes, in plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.

Ice Making

Ice cubes can be made in the ice trays which should be

filled with water to within

1/4"

from the top. To release the

ice cubes seize the tray with both hands and twist the

tray. Cubes not required should be replaced in the tray.

Refill the tray with water and replace the tray on the

freezer shelf.

Ice making is accelerated if the thermostat knob is turned to

setting “MAX”. It is a good idea to do this a few hours before an

anticipated need for ice but be sure to turn the knob back to

normal setting when the ice is formed or the foodstuffs in the

cabinet may become frozen hard.

To Shut Off the Refrigerator

To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob (A) to off posi-

tion. If the cabinet is not in operation over a period of

weeks, it should be emptied and cleaned and the door left

ajar. Some models are provided with interior light, which

comes on when the door is opened. To avoid discharging

the battery, the light should be shut off. Use tape to close

the switch or remove the lamp. The ice trays should also

be dried and kept outside the cabinet.

Cleaning

To clean the interior lining of the refrigerator use lukewarm weak

soda solution. The evaporator, ice trays and shelves must,

however, be cleaned with warm water only. Never use strong

chemicals or abrasives to clean these parts or the protective

surface will be spoiled. It is important always to keep the

refrigerator clean.

The Flame Failure Safety Device

The tip of the thermo-couple must reach in over two

slots of the burner. To replace the thermocouple pro-

ceed as follows:

Remove the cover

Unscrew plug and pull thermocouple straight out.

Remove spring.

Pull out thermocouple sideways from burner housing.

Bend the new thermocouple to the same shape as

the old one.

Reassemble in reverse order. Check that the tip has

been correctly refitted in relation to burner.

Mount plug, taking care not to damage the threaded

hole in the aluminum cap of the housing. The plug

must be properly tightened to the valve housing to

ensure good contact between the thermocouple and

the magnetic coil within the housing.

The Thermostat

The refrigerator is equipped with a thermostat which is regulated

by turning the knob to different settings in order to obtain the

desired controlled cabinet temperature.

At OFF

At MAX

Under normal operating conditions the thermostat

valve remains closed and the burner is running con-

tinuously at the by-pass rate, just enough to keep the

burner lit.

The thermostat valve remains open and the burner is

running continuously at full gas rate. Lowest cabinet

and freezer temperatures are obtained at this setting.

Between these two extremes of the dial various con-

trolled temperatures can be obtained, by turning the

thermostat knob to a suitable position. The closer to

MAX the lower the temperature. As soon as the re-

quired cold temperature inside the cabinet is reached,

the thermostat cuts the burner main flame leaving the

by-pass flame to keep the safety valve open.

The Igniter

The refrigerator is fitted either with a piezo igniter (see fig. 1) or an

automatic reigniter (fig. 2 and 3) which does not normally need

any maintenance. If the igniter does not work properly contact an

authorized service center.

ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT

Cartridge heater

The refrigerator is equipped also for electric operation. Many

models are equipped for both 120 Volts A C and 12 Volts D C

operation.

The heat necessary for the operation of an absorption

type cooling unit is supplied by an electric heater

mounted in a pocket of the boiler system.

To replace the heater, first of course check that the wall

plug is disconnected. If the refrigerator is equipped for 12

Volts D.C. operation, make sure that the 12 V leads are

disconnected. Then proceed as follows:

1. Remove the cover of the main control structure by loosening

the two screws
