ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Before you insert the plug into the wall
socket make sure that the voltage and
the frequency shown on the rating
plate inside the appliance corresponds
to your electricity supply.
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.
Rating label is on the left hand side of
fridge inner liner.
We recommend that this appliance be
connected to the mains supply via a
suitable switched and fused socket.
The appliance must be positioned so
that the plug is accessible.
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.

IMPORTANT! FITTING A
DIFFERENT PLUG
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 to a 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
compartment, so that frozen food acts
as an ice pack to assist cooling in the
fridge.
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
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.
or
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.

5 Using your refrigerator
Temperature setting button
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;
Defrosting
Defrost twice a year or when a frost
layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has
formed.
• Seasonal temperatures,
To start defrosting procedure turn the
thermostat knob to zero position
(Alternatively you may switch off the
freezer at the socket outlet and pull out
the mains plug.)
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a
cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all freezer drawers.The special
defrost collection basin collects the
defrost water. Therefore defrosting can
be conducted without mess.
Containers full of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
• Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long
periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator
without cooling down to the room
temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in the
room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons by
using the thermostat. If the ambient
temperature is higher than 32°C, turn
the thermostat button to maximum
position.
Storing the frozen food
Prepacked commercially frozen food
should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer's
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters
and other similar electrical
instructions for a
frozen food
storage compartment.
The freezing area is marked with
symbol on the door liner.
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. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best
Before" dates on the packaging.
3. Please note that drawers, baskets,
flaps, trays are all removable.

When defrosting has finished, sponge
out any defrost water which collects
at the bottom of the freezer and
dry the interior thoroughly. Turn the
thermostat knob to mid point. Close
the freezer door. Insert the plug into
the wall socket and switch on the
electricity supply. Don't forget to tape
over the switch to avoid accidental
disconnection.

freezing.
Do- Wrap all food in aluminium foil
or freezer quality polythene bags
and make sure any air is excluded.
Do- Wrap frozen food when you
buy it and put it in to the freezer as
soon as possible.
Do- Defrost food in the fridge
compartment.
Do- Remove ice cream from the
freezer 10-20 minutes before

Don’t- Leave the door open for
long periods as this will make the
appliance more costly to run and
cause excessive ice formation.
EN
Do- Clean your appliance regularly
(See “Cleaning and Care”)
Do- Keep raw meat and poultry
below cooked food and dairy
products.
Do- Take off any unusable leaves
on vegetables and wipe off any
soil.
Do- Leave lettuce, cabbage,

Do- Wrap cheese firstly in
greaseproof paper and then in a
polythene bag excluding as much
air as possible. For best results

food in accordance with the
instructions given on the packets
that you buy.
23
Don’t- Put hot food into the
appliance. Let it cool down first.
Don’t- Put liquid-filled bottles or
sealed cans containing carbonated
liquids into the freezer as they may
burst.
Don’t- Exceed the maximum
freezing loads (6 kg in any 24
hours) when freezing fresh food.
Don’t- Give children ice-cream and
water ices direct from the freezer.
The low temperature may cause
‘freezer burns’ on lips.
PROBLEM SOLVING
If the appliance does not operate when
switched on, check whether:
• The plug is inserted properly in the
socket and that the power supply is
on. (To check the power supply to the
socket, plug in another appliance)
• The fuse has blown/circuit breaker
has tripped/main distribution switch
has been turned off.
• The temperature control has been
set correctly and not to “0” (OFF)
• New plug is wired correctly if you
have changed the fitted moulded plug.
If the appliance is still not operating
after the above checks, please refer
to the section on “How To Obtain
Service”.
Don’t- Freeze fizzy drinks.
Don’t- Try to keep frozen food
which has thawed, it should be
eaten within 24 hours or cooked
and refrozen.
Don’t- Remove items from the
