Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or should it need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a Blomberg Authorised Service Agent.

Warning! This Appliance Must Be Earthed

If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted.
Destroy the old plug which is cut off as a plug with bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house.
The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13 A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTABEAB approved BS 1362 fuse of the same rating must be used.
Do not forget to refit the fuse cover.
In the event of losing the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any good electrical store.

Important! Fitting A Different Plug
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows (see diagram):

1. Connect the green-yellow or green (Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol or coloured green and yellow or green.
2. Connect the blue (Neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3. Connect the brown (Live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
4. With alternative plugs a 13 A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.
   

Energy Saving Tips

1. Ensure your appliance is installed in a well ventilated area.
2. Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing them in your appliance is kept at minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend you use a cool bag or a special carrier bag to carry frozen food.
3. Do not leave the door (s) of your appliance open longer than necessary and ensure they are closed properly after each opening.
4. Defrost frozen food in the fridge, so that frozen food acts as an ice pack to assist cooling in fridge.

Installation Instructions

1. The space in the room where the appliance is installed must not be smaller than 10 cubic metres.

2. See Installation-Diagram for detailed Installation Instructions.

3. This appliance has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 38 degrees C (100 degrees F) and is equipped with Freezer Guard technology which ensures that even if the ambient temperature falls to -15°C, frozen food in the freezer does not thaw thanks to this. So, you may then install your appliance in a garage or an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt.
   However at low ambient temperatures mentioned above, fridge contents are likely to freeze, so check and consume food in the fridge accordingly. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may change the knob setting to suit your needs. If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in the fridge compartment will freeze. So, we recommend you don’t use the fridge compartment in such low ambient conditions. You can continue using the freezer compartment as usual.

4. Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will cause your appliance to work harder. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances:
   From Cookers 50 mm (2”)
   From Radiators 300 mm (12”)
   From Freezers 25 mm (1”)

5. Refer to “ Maintenance and cleaning ” section to prepare your appliance for use.

6. A special receptacle is supplied to store the mains plug during transit.
   The receptacle is fixed at the back of the cabinet, on the side of the compressor (see diagram). Gently remove the plug from the receptacle.
   Never pull the mains cord, you may damage the appliance. In the case of transportation, ensure you locate the plug in the receptacle provided to avoid transit damage.

Storing Frozen Food

Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a frozen food storage compartment. To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:

1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2. Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.
3. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best Before” dates on the packaging.

If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

Freezing Fresh Food

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 4.25 kg (9.35 lb.).
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

Making Ice Cubes

Fill the ice – cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank.
Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. Store ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.

Defrosting

A) Fridge Compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The defrosting water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the bac of the appliance (1) (see diagram). During defrosting water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment where concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the droplets which have frozen. If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube.

The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube (2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4”(7 mm), reduce the temperature setting to restart automatic defrosting.

B) Freezer Compartment

The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.
Warnings!
The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air.
Never insert any object through the guard.
Do not allow children to play with the freezer fan.
Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.
Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance.
