OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
The position number refers to fig. 1. It will take several hours
for the refrigerator to reach normal operating temperature.
A thermostat controls the temperature of the main compartment of the refrigerator. The thermostat knob (B) should be set
at 3-5. If a lower (colder) temperature is desired set the thermostat to a higher figure.
CONTROLS
FOOD STORAGE
• Always keep food in closed containers. Never put hot food in
the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.
• Never keep items in the refrigerator that might give off
flammable gases.
• The frozen food compartment is intended for the storage of
frozen food and for making ice. It is not suitable for freezing
items of food.
• Never put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen food
storage compartment as they may burst when freezing.
• Most kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food
compartment for about a month. This period of time may
vary, however, and it is important to follow the instructions
on the individual packets.
FIG. 1
ICE-MAKING
The refrigerator can be run on either mains electric or LP gas.
Changing between these modes of operation is carried out by
means of control buttons positioned as shown in fig. 1.
Fill the ice tray just below the brim with drinking water and
place it on the freezer shelf.
It is possible to make ice faster by turning the control knob
temporarily to its highest value but do not forget to turn it back
to its regular setting afterwards as the refrigerator might otherwise become too cold.
The energy selector (A) can be set at either I (= 120 V),
(= LP gas) or 0.
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (B).
Please note that the thermostat has no “off” position.
DEFROSTING
Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces. It
must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator
and adversely affects refrigerator performance.
Check the formation of frost regularly every week and when
it gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator. To defrost
the refrigerator, turn it off and remove the ice tray and all food
items. Warning: normally the temperature of items of frozen
foods would rise unduly during defrosting so they should be
consumed within 24h or discarded. Do not try to accelerate
defrosting by using any kind of heating appliance, as this might
damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. Neither should
any sharp objects be used to scrape off the ice.
Defrost water runs from a collector channel to a receptacle at
the rear of the refrigerator where it evaporates. Defrost water
in the freezer compartment should be mopped up with a cloth.
When all ice has melted, wipe the refrigerator dry and restart it.
Place the food items back inside but wait until the refrigerator
is cold before making ice cubes.
The refrigerator is fitted with a safety device that automatically
shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out. The safety
device can be opened manually by pressing the button (C).
The piezoelectric igniter discharges sparks over the burner
when the button (D) is pressed.
In the flame viewer (E) you can see a blue light when the gas
flame is lit.
STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
The position numbers refer to fig. 1.
LP Gas operation
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders
etc., the gas pipes may contain some air, which should be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or other
appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.
1. Make sure that all valves between the gas container and the
refrigerator are open.
2. Turn the energy selector (A) to position .
. Push the button (C) in until it reaches the bottom - and hold,
push the button (D) for the piezo igniter several times to
light the burner.
. Check the flame indicator (E) to see if the flame is lit.
5. Keep the button (C) pressed for a further 10-15 seconds.
6. Release the button (C) and check that the flame is alight.
To terminate gas operation, turn knob (A) to 0.
Electric operation
Set the energy selector (A) to position I .
CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR
Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh
and hygienic. Soak a cloth in a solution consisting of a
teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to half a litre of warm water.
Wring out the cloth and use it to clean the interior of the
refrigerator and its fittings.
Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scented
products or wax polish to clean the interior of the refrigerator as they may damage the surfaces and leave a
strong odour.
The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean now
and again, using a damp cloth and a small quantity of detergent. But not the door gasket, which should only be cleaned
with soap and water and then thoroughly dried. The cooling
unit behind the refrigerator should be cleaned with a brush
from time to time, but make sure that the refrigerator is
switched off when doing this.
If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
1. Shut off any valve in the gas line to the refrigerator.
2. Set the energy selector (A) to 0.
. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as described
earlier. Leave the door(s) of the refrigerator and the frozen
food compartment ajar.
iF THE ‘FRIDGE FAILS TO WORK
Before calling a service technician, check:
• That the STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR instructions
have been followed.
• The refrigerator is level.
• If it is possible to start the refrigerator on any of the connected sources of energy.
• If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, then check:
• That the gas bottle is not empty.
• That all LP-gas valves are open.
• If the refrigerator fails to work on mains electric, then
check:
• That the mains electric supply is connected to the refrigerator.
• That the fuse is intact.
S210GE - positioning the storage racks
Dismanling/mounting
1. Loosen the front and back securing brackets.
If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be
because:
• The ventilation of the cooling unit is inadequate; see the
paragraph PLACEMENT OF THE REFRIGERATOR.
• The evaporator is frosted up.
• The temperature control setting is incorrect.
• The gas pressure is incorrect - check the pressure regulator
at the gas container.
• Too much food is loaded at one time.
• The door is not properly closed or the magnetic sealing
strip is defective.
2. Move the storage rack to the left (1), tilt up/down (2) and
remove.
If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a service
technician.

The sealed cooling system must not be opened,
since it contains corroding chemicals under
high pressure.

MAINTENANCE
Inspect the gas hose periodically for cracks or deep chafing marks. Connections can be tested for leaks using a soap
solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME! If there is any
suspicion of damage, call for a service technician. We recommend that a service technician check the refrigerator once a
year.
. To fit the storage rack, mount in reverse order.
SOME USEFUL HINTS
Make sure that:
• Defrosting is carried out periodically.
• The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left open
when it is not to be used for some time.
• Liquids or items with a strong odour are well packaged.
• There is a free air circulation over the cooling unit at the
rear of the refrigerator.
