Allow at least 12cm clear space between the back and sides of the unit and your wall
or another appliance to ensure proper air circulation, which is necessary to cool the
compressor and condenser.
•
Before plugging in your new freezer, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours.
This will allow the refrigerant gases to settle into the compressor and reduce
the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.
•
Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and earthed wall outlet. Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power
cord. If in doubt about your setup, direct any questions concerning power and/or
grounding to a certified electrician or an authorised service centre.
•
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.
•
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2
to 3 hours before placing food in the freezer compartment.
