INSTALLING YOUR NEW 

APPLIANCE 

•  Before using the appliance for the first time, you should review the following tips.

Ventilation of appliance 

It is necessary to have good ventilation around the freezer to allow for the 

dissipation of heat, high efficiency, and low power consumption. For this reason, 

sufficiently cleared space should be available around the freezer. It is advisable 

for there to be 75 mm separating the back of the freezer to the wall and at least 

100 mm of space on its two sides, a height of over 100 mm from its top.

•  Stand you appliance in a dry place to avoid damage by moisture.

•  Keep the appliance out of direct sunlight, rain or frost. Stand the appliance 

away from heat sources such as stoves, fires or heaters.

•  This appliance operates also by environmental temperature of -15°C if above 

instructions are strictly followed.

Leveling of appliance (models with feet)

The appliance should be level in order to eliminate vibration. To make the 

appliance level, it should be upright and both adjusters should be in stable 

contact with the floor. You can also adjust the level by unscrewing the 

appropriate level adjustment in the front (use your fingers or a suitable 

spanner).
