In this way, the transport rollers can be used to move it to its intended place of installation. – The unit should only be transported in its vertical position; do not tilt any more than 30°. – Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30 minutes before it is connected to the mains. – If the unit has been tilted more than 30° during transport, allow it to stand upright for at least 4 hours before it is connected to the mains. – When the unit is first switched on, a slight 'new' smell may be noticed. However, this will disappear once the cooling process has begun. Installation The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry room. It should be operated in conditions where the relative humidity is no more than 70 %. The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains details of the ambient temperature range suitable for this appliance. Do not use the appliance outdoors. Ensure that the plug is accessible and can be removed from the wall socket at any time. Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight, and do not position it next to any heat sources (radiators, cookers etc). If this cannot be avoided, however, suitable insulation must be in installed between the heat source and the unit. The unit must not be installed inside a cabinet, nor directly below a hanging cupboard, shelf or similar object. In the case of uneven floors, the adjustable feet on the unit can be used to compensate and ensure optimum stability. 18Reversible door If required, the door may be reversed, i.e. from right-hinged (default installation) to left-hinged. To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the unit, two people are needed to reverse the door.

Warning: Always disconnect the unit from the mains before any maintenance or repair work is

carried out. Before you get started, please note the following: Always ensure that the correct number of washers is used on all hinge bolts and screws. So that the doors can close tightly against the frame, take the utmost care that they are properly aligned during re-assembly. – Open the freezer door. – Remove the four covers C from the housing and inside of the door – Replace the covers and their extensions, turned through 180°, on the opposite side. – Unscrew the hinge bolt on the inside of the door in the area C/6. Caution: Support the door. – Take off the freezer door. – Take out the fixing screws and remove the upper bracket 6.

If the cabinet freezer is installed with its side against a wall, ensure a minimum clearance of 60 mm with the wall; this is to ensure that the freezer door can open sufficiently wide to slide out the drawers. The heated air around the rear of the unit must be able to circulate freely. Therefore, ensure that the air circulation behind the unit is not obstructed. Caution: Ensure at all times that the rear ventilation openings around the top cover are not obstructed. Set-up dimensions Ventilationcorresponding opening on the opposite side of the bracket. – Remove the bracket 7 and replace it with the holding bracket 2 with its hinge bolt. – Now install the holding bracket 7 in the previous position of the bracket 2. – Place the freezer door onto the hinge bolt on holding bracket 2. Caution: Support the door. – Re-insert the hinge bolt of the bracket 6 into the freezer door. – Fit the four covers C over the bracket and the openings. – Take out the cover 10 from the lower panel 1 and replace it on the opposite side. – Replace the panel 1 on the appliance. – Remove the screw covering caps a and the sealing plugs b. – Take out the screws holding the door handle. Fit the handle on the opposite side, using the fixing screws to secure it. Push the sealing plugs into the now empty openings in the door and replace the covering caps on the screw heads. If the unit has been tilted to more than 30°, wait for about 4 hours before re-connecting it to the mains. Temperature control The unit is re-activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only switched off completely when the plug is removed from the wall socket. The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by setting the temperature control. Turning the control clockwise will decrease the temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise will 20increase it. The medium settings are usually most suitable for home use. We recommend using a thermometer to check the actual temperature inside the cabinet and make adjustments as necessary. Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches on again. In position ‘0’, the cooling function is switched off, though the appliance is still connected to the mains. 'S' Rapid-freeze mode indicator (orange) Once the rapid-freeze mode is activated, the orange light comes on. Mains connection indicator (green) With the unit connected to the mains, the green light is permanently on. High-temperature alarm indicator (red) This light comes on if the internal temperature raises above 9° C. Freezer door To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the door to the cabinet freezer should be kept closed at all times. This will also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost. Ensure, therefore, that the door is only opened briefly to place food in the freezer or to remove it. Freezing and storing food – The temperature inside the cabinet freezer depends mainly on the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored. – The cabinet freezer is designed for deep-freezing and long-term storage of frozen food, and for making ice cubes. – To take advantage of the cabinet’s maximum capacity, the drawers may be removed. – The rapid-freeze drawers inside the freezer cabinet carry the symbol

– To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be deep- frozen right through as quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should be placed into the rapid-freeze drawers, properly spaced in one or two rows. – Avoid contact with food that has already been frozen. – Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity per day. The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity. – Set the temperature control to rapid-freeze mode 'S' to accelerate the freezing process. Caution: The rapid-freeze mode does not switch of automatically but must be switched off manually. While the rapid-freeze mode is active, the compressor remains on. Note: To prevent damage to the compressor, the unit should not be left in rapid-freeze mode continuously for more than three days. – To ensure sufficient distribution of cold air, keep a minimum distance of

2.5 cm between the vapouriser assembly and the tray containing the food

to be frozen. – The time required to freeze food may be shortened by dividing it into 21smaller portions. – Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent (i.e. non-coloured) plastic wrap or bags, or aluminium foil. The packaging materials should be well aired before use; check that the package is air-tight before freezing the food. We strongly recommend that you label every item stored in the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food, freezing date and use-by date. – Do not attempt to deep-freeze carbonated beverages, warm food or any kind of bottled liquids. Use-by dates for frozen food are specified (in months) in the table below. Do not exceed these storage times. However, always observe the manufacturer’s use-by dates for the frozen food. – If the unit remains switched off for an extended period (eg during a power failure), the door should be kept closed; this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature in the cabinet. The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains detailed information of the maximum safe storage time in case of malfunction. Even a slight rise in the inside temperature will shorten the storage life of the food. Making ice cubes A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray ¾ full with drinking water and place it in the freezer compartment. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if the tray is left standing at room temperature for 5 minutes. De-frosting and cleaning After a certain period of operation and depending on several factors (e.g. how often the door has been opened), a layer of ice will form on the evaporators located below the drawers and on the drawer fronts themselves. Once the build-up of ice has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm, the unit must be de-frosted. The build-up of ice increases the power consumption of the appliance. The cabinet freezer should be thoroughly cleaned at least twice a year. – Always remove the plug from the wall socket before the unit is defrosted. – Remove all food from the freezer cabinet, wrap it in newspaper and store it in a cool place to keep the temperature down. Note that, even with a slight increase in temperature, the storage life will be shortened and the food should be used as soon as possible. – Take off the covering panel. 22– Pull out the drain channel from the freezer cabinet, turn it 180° and secure it (see diagram). Place a suitable container underneath the channel outlet. – Leave the freezer door open. – To accelerate defrosting, one or several containers with hot (but not boiling) water may be placed inside the freezer. – Do not pour water over or inside the unit – Warning: Do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to accelerate de-frosting. – For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water with some mild detergent. Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher. – Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any cleaning agents that contain alcohol. – After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces again with fresh water before wiping them completely dry. – Slide the drain channel back in and replace the covering panel. – When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands. – Turn the temperature control to its maximum setting. After 24 hours, the temperature control can be returned to its normal setting. – Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning. – To save energy, the condenser and the compressor (at the rear) should be cleaned carefully at least twice a year with a hand-brush or a vacuum cleaner. Trouble-shooting Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is switched on. These sounds are: – caused by the electrical motor within the compressor assembly; during compressor start-up the sound level will be slightly higher for a limited period of time. – caused by the cooling agent flowing through the circuit. The following table lists possible malfunctions and their probable causes and solutions. In the event of operational problems, check first whether a solution can be found using this table. If the problem persists, disconnect the appliance from the mains power and contact our Customer Service Department. Problem Possible cause and solution The appliance is not working at all. – There is a power failure – The main fuse has blown. – The temperature control is set to ‘0‘. – The fuse in the wall socket (if applicable) has blown. This can be checked by connecting another electrical device to the socket and checking for function. 23The temperature inside the freezer cabinet is not low enough. – Too much food has been stored in the appliance. – The doors are not properly closed. – There is too much dust on the condenser. – Insufficient ventilation: the unit is too close to a wall or other structure or object. – The temperature control is set too low. The normal operating sound changes or becomes louder. – Check for proper positioning (uneven floor?). – Are any adjacent objects affected by the running of the cooling unit (i.e. causing them to vibrate?) – Are there any objects on top of the unit which might be vibrating? Transporting the appliance To prevent damage to the unit during transport, ensure that all accessories and components inside and around the appliance are securely fastened. The unit must only be transported in its vertical position; do not tilt any more than 30°. Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30 minutes before it is connected to the mains. If the unit has been tilted more than 30° during transport, allow it to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it is connected to the mains.
