BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove the tape and any labels (apart from the rating plate from the freezer before using it. To
remove tape or glue residue, rub the surface. Tape and glue residue can also easily be removed
by rubbing in a small amount of washing up liquid. Rinse with warm water and wipe down. Do
not use sharp implements, alcohol, flammable liquids or abrasive detergents to remove tape or
glue residue. These products can damage the freezer’s surface.
When moving the freezer, do not tilt it more than 45° from the upright position.
Clean the freezer before use once you have removed all packaging material.
PLACEMENT
For best performance, make sure there is at least 50 mm clearance between the rear of the
freezer and the wall, and at least 50 mm above the freezer.
If you install the freezer side-on next to a wall, leave enough space on the hinge side to allow
the door to be opened.
Never install the freezer near a heat source or in direct sunlight.
Levelling the appliance
The freezer should be adjusted on installation to ensure it is level. Incorrect level adjustment
can make the freezer door impossible to close or seal properly, and this can lead to problems
involving ice formation and moisture. It is very important that the freezer should be correctly
adjusted to ensure it is level if it is to operate correctly.
Level the freezer by turning the feet along a given side clockwise to raise that side and
anti-clockwise to lower it.
NOTE: Ask an assistant to press upwards against the top of the freezer on the side you want to
adjust, so as to take the weight off the adjusting feet. This will make it easier to adjust the feet.
