dry
clean
cloth.
Never
use
any
kind
of
solvent
or
other
chemicals
5. Setting up the freezer
The
freezer
should
not
be
placed
where
it
might
be
splashed
with
water,
in
extreme
high
humidity
or
in
direct
sunlight.
Any
of
these
factors
may
lead
to
a
reduction
in
performance
and
shorten
the
life
span
of
the
components.
The
freezer
should
be
placed
on
a
horizontal
level,
and
should
not
be
placed
close
to
a
heating
appliance
or
heating
tubes.
Allow
a
minimum
of
50mm
clearance
on
the
side
and
the
back.
The
side
with
the
ventilation
grill
should
have
a
clearance
of
at
least
100
mm
in
order
to
allow
the
heat
from
the
compressor
motor
to
dissipate.
Underneath
the
appliance,
these
should
be
a
gap
of
15
mm
approx.
On
a
soft
surface,
e.g.
carpet,
it
may
be
necessary
to
ensure
the
correct
distance
by
means
of
spacers.
6. Electrical supply
The
electrical
supply
should
always
be
in
accordance
with
the
rating
plate
on
the
back
of
the
freezer.
The
supply
must
always
be
in
accordance
with
the
law
and
regulations
regarding
electrical
safety.
If
any
doubts,
contact
your
supplier.
7. Starting Up
In
case
the
compressor
does
not
start
when
the
freezer
has
been
plugged
in,
the
electrical
supply
may
not
be
in
order.
Check
if
there
is
an
electricity
supply
to
the
plug
or
if
the
fuse
is
blown.
8. Operating the freezer
The
empty
freezer
should
be
switched
on
for
at
least
24
hours
prior
to
loading
of
the
freezer.
The
freezer
should
not
be
loaded
above
the
inside
walls
which
is
also
the
load
line
limit.
Please
note:
After
the
lid
has
been
opened,
there
will
be
a
vacuum
created
inside
the
freezer
due
to
the
low
temperatures.
Wait
a
few
minutes
before
trying
to
re
‐
open
the
lid
otherwise
the
handle
could
be
damaged.
The
freeze
storage
system
is
based
on
a
PCM
material,
to
ensure
the
correct
response
keep
it
freezed
for
a
long
time
(1
week).
Take
care
about
your
samples
before
to
load
in.
9. Defrosting
In
order
for
the
freezer
to
work
to
its
maximum
efficiency
the
cabinet
should
be
defrosted
when
an
approx.
2mm
thick
ice
layer
has
formed
inside
the
cabinet.
Keep
the
freezer
off
for
a
long
time
with
the
lid
open.
Never
use
a
sharp
metal
object,
which
might
will
cause
damage
to
the
inner
liner.
The
defrosting
frequency
is
determined
mainly
by
two
factors
the
usage
pattern
(number
of
lid
openings)
and
the
relative
humidity.
Excess
water
can
be
drained
out
by
using
the
drain
water
outlet
on
the
front
of
the
freezer.
10. Cleaning
Cleaning
should
be
done
when
needed.
When
used
in
a
dirty
environment
it
might
be
necessary
to
remove
the
compressor
compartment
grill,
and
clean
the
compressor
compartment
eventually
with
a
vacuum
cleaner.
If
the
cleaning
process
is
neglected,
there
is
a
risk
that
the
performance
of
the
freezer
will
be
effected,
and
even
damage
to
the
compressor
could
occur
due
to
overheating.
