BEFORE INSTALLING THE FREEZER

Before connecting your freezer to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. Ensure that the plug remains accessible after installation. The appliance must be grounded. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages that may occur as a result of usage without grounding. INSTALLATION Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. To ensure adequate ventilation for the appliance, allow a minimum of 10 cm of airspace on each side of the cabinet. For uneven surfaces, front feet can be aligned.54 AMBIENT TEMPERATUE

BEFORE PLACING FOOD IN THE FREEZER

POWER FAILURE TEMPERATURE CONTROL This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 16°C and 38 °C. If these temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer will rise above -18°C and food spoilage may occur.

• Remove all packaging.

• Allow the appliance to run empty for 2 – 3 hours so the compartment can cool to the appropriate temperature.

• Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust. If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be aected if the power failure lasts for less than 16,5 hours. Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat. The freezer is controlled with a temperature control knob located at the back of the appliance. Adjust the control knob as desired to suit your individual preference.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

FREEZING AND STORING FOOD

If the appliance is turned o for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

• Turn o the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food.

• Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on. Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance’s cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements, move your freezer from open ame or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few minutes. The running time and temperature are aected by where the freezer is located, how often the door is opened and the temperature of the room the freezer is located in. When you use the appliance for the rst time or after defrosting, adjust the control knob to the coldest setting for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the middle setting.

• To store deep - frozen food.
