INSTALLATION WARNINGS
Before using your freezer for the first time, please pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• Do not use plug adapter.
• Your freezer may have an odour when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the odour will
fade when your freezer starts to cool.
• Before connecting your freezer, ensure that the information on the data plate (voltage and connected
load) matches that of the mains electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
• Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient ground connection. If the socket has no ground contact
or the plug does not match, we recommend you consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
• The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. The power supply (AC) and
voltage at the operating point must match with the details on the name plate of the appliance (the name
plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).
• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your freezer where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your freezer must never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• Your appliance must be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores,
and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• If your freezer is placed next to a deep freezer, there must be at least 2 cm between
them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
• Do not cover the body or top of freezer with lace. This will affect the performance of your freezer.
• Clearance of at least 150 mm is required at the top of your appliance. Do not place anything on top of
your appliance.
• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly before use (see Cleaning and Maintenance).
• Before using your freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon
of sodium bicarbonate. Then, rinse with clean water and dry. Return all parts to the
freezer after cleaning.
• Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance is level and stable. You can
adjust the legs by turning them in either direction. This must be done before placing
food in the appliance.
• Install the two plastic distance guides (the parts on the black vanes -condenser- at the rear) by turning
it 90° (as shown in the figure) to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.
• The distance between the appliance and back wall must be a maximum of 75 mm.
BEFORE USING YOUR FREEZER
• When using your freezer for the first time, or after transportation, keep it in an
upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows
efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• Your freezer may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal
and the smell will fade away when your freezer starts to cool.
