Warning: Prevent contact of the freezer with fl ammable materials and vapours, e.g. gasoline. Otherwise there
is a risk of explosion, fi re, burns or other serious injury.
Before fi rst use
• Remove all packaging material and thoroughly clean the interior of the freezer with a solution water and
soda before fi rst use, then rinse with clean water and dry.
• Prior to fi rst use or after relocation, let the freezer stand for 3 hours in vertical position before plugging it
into the power supply. Otherwise, you could damage the compressor.
• You may detect a slight odour when you fi rst switch it on. This odour will disappear once the appliance
starts to cool.
Connection
• Before plugging it in the outlet make sure that the voltage on the nameplate corresponds with the voltage
in your outlet.
• The outlet must be accessible after installing the appliance.
• We recommend that freezer connects to a separate circuit, which does not power any other appliances.
Use an electrical outlet, which cannot be accidentally disconnected by an e.g. switch.
• Do not use extension cables to connect the freezer.
Note: Disconnect the freezer from the power supply before any manipulation. After fi nishing the installation
plug the freezer in the outlet and set the thermostat to the required value.
Switching on the appliance
• When you fi rst turn the appliance on, it should run continuously for 24 hours before it reaches a suffi ciently
low temperature.
• Avoid frequent opening of door during that time and putting in large amount of foods.
• If the appliance is turned off or disconnected from the power supply you need to wait at least 5 minutes
before restarting or plugging it in to prevent damage to the compressor.
Reversing the door opening
Reversing the door opening direction can be done by a qualifi ed service center.
When changing the direction of opening the door, we recommend to ask another person for assistance.
You will need an adhesive tape, cross and fl at screwdriver for assembly.
The freezer must be disconnected from power and empty before handling!
Warning:
• When removing the door, the appliance should be tilted backwards. You should support the appliance
under the top panel with a solid object.
• Do not tilt the freezer by more than 45° from the vertical. Avoid laying the freezer fl at completely, since this
could damage the cooling system!
