Place the unit on a level and stable surface. Keep the minimum distances to all sides. Fig.

Unevenness can be compensated with the adjustable front feet. Ensure, that the product is in a horizontal position to enable the correct working of the cooling circuit. It's adviced to use a spirit level for correct positioning. Fig.

The freezer is equipped with four drawers and one hatch at the bottom. The drawers can be removed for cleaning, but must be used to store the food, as otherwise the energy consumption might be increased due to ineective positioning of the food. OPERATION Fig.

Plug in the power plug into an appropriate mains socket outlet. Fig.

Turn the temperature regulator to the desired setting. Fig.

Allow the product to pre-cool for at-least 6 hours before starting to store food. TEMPERATURE REGULATOR Refer to below table for the specic temperatures of the levels MIN-MID-MAX: Interval MIN/°C MID/°C MAX/°C 3 -12 -18 -24 Note:

• The most common temperature for the freezer should be -18°C (MID) or lower.

• To determine the temperature of the product, obtain a suitable thermometer, and place it inside the product.

• The temperature of the product depends on the setting of the temperature regulator. Note that, the lower the set temperature, the higher the energy consumption of the product.

• Please make sure the door is closed properly and is not obstructed by foods.

• Never store warm or hot foodstus in the freezer, as this will impair the cooling performance of the appliance and will also defrost other foodstus. DEFROSTING Fig.

Defrost the freezer when the layer of ice on the surface reaches 3 to 4 mm. Remove all foods from the freezer. Unplug the freezer and open the door. After the ice has molten, wipe up the water and clean the interior. Note: In order to reduce the build-up of ice, make sure, that no items are stored in contact with the walls of the appliance, the door is opened only for a short period of time and never store warm/hot food in the freezer.

Adjustment of the door hinges Note:

• If necessary, or if the premises require it, the mounting of the door can be changed. To do this, follow below instructions in the given order.

• The following tools are required: Socket wrench or wrench 8 mm, phillips screwdriver, slotted screwdriver. Due to the uniqueness of the appropriate tools, those are not mentioned separately in the following instructions.

1. Remove the two plastic covers and put them aside.

2. Hold the door rmly, remove the two screws and pull the top hinge out of the door.

3. Remove the door from the lower hinge pin by gently pulling it upwards. Gently place it on a patted

surface, to avoid damaging it. Remove the lower hinge bracket on the right side of the unit and remove the leveling foot on the left side. Reverse their positions. Note: For detailed information see overview illustration

Caution After you have placed the refrigerator upright on its feet, wait for 6 hours before you connect it to the mains to permit the cooling system to regain full performance.

4. Install the lower hinge on the left side of the refrigerator. Install the adjustable foot on the right side

of the refrigerator. Unscrew also the stopper piece at the bottom of the door, turn it and x it to the opposite side.

5. Remove the hinge pin from the top hinge and screw it back into the hinge from the other side. Install

the door onto the lower hinge pin, now located on the left side of the appliance.

INSTALLING THE DOOR HANDLE

7. Remove the two blind plugs at the desired side of the door.

8. Install the handle with screws provided.

9. Clip the two provided caps onto the screws.

• Do not place the product in the vicinity of a heat source (radiator or kitchen stove, etc.).

• Ensure unobstructed air ow around the freezer.

• If a layer of ice has built, defrost the unit. A thick layer of ice aects the transmission of the cold, thus the energy consumption will be increased.

• When opening and taking out food, only open the door shortly. A shorter door opening time reduces the amount of ice forming on the freezer walls.

• Select the temperature regulator setting according to the lling amount of the product.

• Use the provided drawers and if necessary further boxes etc. to store the food. This way the energy of the product is used eciently, and the energy consumption can be minimized.

• Only place cold or cooled down foodstus in the freezer. Never insert hot items.

• It’s advised not to remove all accessories, such as drawers, as this might increase the energy consumption.

• Unplug the product before cleaning.

• When cleaning, never use solvents or abrasive materials, hard brushes, metallic or sharp objects. Solvents are harmful to human health and can attack plastic parts, while abrasive cleaning materials and tools may scratch the surface(s).

• Never use oil or grease on the door seal. This will make it porous over time.

• Do not use steam cleaning equipment for cleaning. The steam may come in contact with electrical parts of the product, causing a short circuit.

• Clean the product’s exterior surfaces with a slightly damp cloth and then dry them thoroughly.

• Make sure that no water enters the product interior (for example, through the switch).

• Wipe the door seal with clean water only, and dry it thoroughly afterwards.

• Removable parts e.g. the glass plate can be taken out for cleaning. DECOMMISSIONING If a longer break should occur during operation of the refrigerator, the following steps must be carried out:

• Clean the interior of the freezer compartment and let it dry.

• Carefully clean all the accessories.
