∙ The unit must not be installed inside a cupboard; when
positioning the unit, also ensure that it is not placed directly
underneath a shelf or any other similar object.
∙ Ensure that there is suffi cient space in front for the door to
open to 160°.
∙ In the case of uneven fl oors, the adjustable feet at the front
can be used to compensate and ensure optimum stability.
Ventilation
Ensure that there is enough space around the unit so that the air
circulation round and behind it is not obstructed. (rear and sides 5
cm, top 10 cm.)
Reversible door
The design provides for the door to be reversed, i.e. for right-
hinged (default installation) to become left-hinged.

any maintenance or repair work is carried out.

Temperature control
The temperature control automatically regulates the
temperature inside the different compartments.
Min cold setting
Normal colder (normal)
setting
Max coldest setting
Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched
off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches
on again.
Note: The operating temperature in the freezer largely depends
on factors such as the ambient temperature and that of the
food to be newly frozen. It also depends on how often the door
is opened and how long it remains open. If necessary, the
temperature control setting may be adjusted accordingly.
Freezing and storing food
∙ With an operating temperature of –18°C and below, the
various freezer compartments can be used to store frozen or
pre-frozen food for several months, to make ice cubes and
to freeze fresh food.
∙ To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are
not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as
quickly as possible. Caution: Do not exceed the maximum
freezing capacity per day. The product data sheet contains
details of the maximum daily freezing capacity. Spread it out
well in the freezer compartment and avoid contact with food
that has already been frozen.
∙ Prior to freezing, fresh food (e.g. meat, fi sh, minced meat)
should be divided into smaller portions suitable for use after
thawing).
∙ When storing pre-frozen food, strict attention should be
paid to the manufacturer's information provided on the
packaging. If no such information is to be found, however, a
storage period of 3 months from the date of purchase must
not be exceeded.
∙ When buying frozen food, verify that the food is properly
frozen, and that the packaging does not show any sign of
damage.
