Installation
Space requirements
• Clearances: Ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back of the cabinet, which is necessary
to cool the compressor and condenser. Allow at
least 20cm clear space at the back and sides of
the unit (Fig. 1).
• Space at the top: Ideally, the appliance should
not be positioned below overhanging wall units.
Make sure to allow sufficient room (more than
70cm) so you can comfortably open the lid and
access the contents.
Moving
• When installing the appliance, tilt it carefully – not more than 45° – and move it to its
designated place. The freezer has two roll wheels at the right side (front and back) of
the base to help you position it into place.
Levelling
• The appliance must be installed level in order to work properly. If the unit is not level,
the lid and magnetic seal alignment will not be covered properly.
• To level the unit, adjust one or both levelling feet at the left front and back corners of
base of the cabinet until the freezer is perfectly level.
Electrical connection
•
WARNING!
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power
supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
•
Before plugging in your new freezer, let it stand upright for at least 30 minutes.
This will allow the refrigerant gases to settle into the compressor and reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.
• The appliance must be earthed. The plug of the power supply cord is equipped
with a contact for this purpose. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third (earth) prong from the power cord. If the plug does not fit your outlet, consult a
licensed electrician for advice to have the outlet changed.
• Pug the unit into a dedicated, properly earthed wall outlet. Ensure that your outlet
voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the rating label.
• Secure the freezer’s supply cord behind the unit. Do not leave it exposed or
dangling to prevent injury and accidental disconnection from the power supply.
• Adjust the temperature control as described on the following page.
•
When first starting up, and after a period out of use, allow the unit to cool down
for at least 2–3 hours (4 hours in summer) before placing food in the freezer.
