Instructions
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 12cm clear
space at the back and 5cm at the sides of the unit.
• Overhanging wall units: Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned below
overhanging wall units. However, if the appliance must be positioned below an
overhanging wall unit, make sure to allow sufficient room so you can comfortably
open the lid and access the contents.
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 4 hours.
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 below.
•
When first starting up, and after a period out of use, allow the unit to cool
down on the MAX setting for at least 2 hours before placing food in the freezer.
Temperature setting
The temperature control is located at the front of the freezer
cabinet, in the bottom right corner (Fig.1). It has seven
settings, from 1 (cold, the warmest setting) to 7 (the coldest
setting), plus a MAX position for fast freezing large amounts
of fresh food.
• The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature
control to the MAX position. Then, after 24 hours, adjust
the temperature control to the setting that suits your
needs, position 5 should be appropriate for normal use.
• To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to the minimum position, then
unplug the unit from the power supply.
NOTE: The unit may not work at the set temperature on particularly hot days, or if the
lid is opened too frequently.
To ensure efficient operation, do not open the
lid unnecessarily or for prolonged periods of time.
