It is vital that these instructions are kept with the freezer for future use. If the freezer is sold or given to another user, or if you move and
leave the freezer behind, you must ensure that the instructions accompany the freezer to enable the next user to use the freezer correct-
ly and read the relevant warnings.It is vital that these instructions are kept with the freezer for future use. If the freezer is sold or given to

Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the fridge/freezer.
- A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.
Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer itself on the power cord.
- There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly when the fridge/freezer is being pulled out of its niche.
- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified service agent or qualified service personnel.
If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock or fire.

POSITION
Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting on all four plastic feet. Use a wooden block or similar object to compensate for any
bumps/holes in the surface. The room should be dry and adequately ventilated. Temperatures of the external environment have an impact
on the energy consumption of the device. Therefore:
- do not put the device to a place exposed to sunshine ore besides a radiator or oven,
- put it to a place where the temperature of the environment corresponds to the climatic classification
for which the device was designed.
Climatic classification Ambient temperature limits
SN
from +10°C to +32°C
N
from +16°C to +32°C
ST
from +18°C to +38°C
T
from +18°C to +43°C
If the freezer has been handled standing on end it should be allowed to stand in normal position for about 12 hours before switching it on. Please
ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate, located inside
the lid.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
this appliance complies with the following EC Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19. 02. 1973 - Low-Voltage Directive
- 89/336/EEC of 03. 05. 1989 (including Amendment Directive 92/31/EEC - EMC Directive.
Some of the models are not available in all countries.
Testing has been carried out in accordance with ISO 5155 regarding the determination of freezer capacity, energy consumption and
hold-overtime.
Information for test institute: A plan of the positioning of test packages may be obtained directly from the manufacturer.
SWITCHING ON
Before switching on, the freezer should be cleaned inside. See under “Maintenance”. Set the thermostat button in mid-
dle position. Allow the freezer to run for several hours before placing food inside.
OPENING/CLOSING THE LID
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent moisture getting inside the freezer and increasing the amount of frost formed.
When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer and expands. As soon as the lid is closed again the air is
cooled immediately. This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid immediately after it has been closed.
This is quite normal. Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared, then open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle vio-
lently.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. Turning the thermo-
stat button towards no. “7” makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards
no. “min” makes the temperature warmer. The correct setting can be found by measuring the temper-
ature of the top package in the middle of the freezer. This should not have a temperature higher than
–18°C.
