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-

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
