Ventilation
Ensur e that there is enough space around the unit so that the
air circulation round and behind it is not obstructed. (Rear 7.5
cm, sides 5 cm, top 10 cm.)
Reversible door
If required, the door may be reversed, i.e. from right-hinged (default
installation) to left-hinged.
Warning: Always disconnect the unit from the mains before
any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
1. Remove the hinge cover (1).
2. Use a suitable pointed tool to remove the cover (5).
3. Use a suitable screw-driver to remove the two screws (2)
holding the upper hinge (3) to the housing.
4. Carefully lift up the door and place it on a soft surface to
protect it from scratches.
5. Remove the blind covers for the hinge mounting holes (9)
and fi t it in the corresponding place on the right. Ensure
that the cover is fi rmly pushed down into the hole.
6. Pull out the two bolts (7) which hold the lower right hinge

right.
12. Replace the hinge cover (1) on the upper hinge.
13. Put the unit back in its intended position and wait for about
four hours before connecting it to the mains.
Temperature control
The unit is activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only
switched off completely when the plug is removed from the wall
socket.
The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted by
setting the temperature control.
Temperature settings from 1 – 5 are available.
Turning the control clockwise will decrease the temperature,
while turning it anti-clockwise will increase it.
We recommend setting the control initially to position 3. After
a certain time, the actual temperature should then be checked
with a thermometer, and adjustments made if necessary.
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.
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.
Freezer door
To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the
freezer door should be kept closed at all times. This will also
prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost. Ensure, therefore,
that the door is only opened briefl y to place food inside or to
remove it.
Freezing and storing food
∙ The temperature inside freezer cabinet depends mainly on
the ambient temperature, the temperature control setting
and the amount of food stored.
∙ This freezer unit is designed for deep-freezing and long-term
storage of deep-frozen food, as well as for making ice-
cubes.
∙ Prior to freezing, fresh food (e.g. meat, fi sh, minced meat)
should be divided into smaller portions suitable for use after
defrosting).
∙ To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are
not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as
quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should
be placed into the freezer compartments, properly spaced in
one or two rows.
∙ Avoid contact with food that has already been frozen.
∙ Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity
per day. The product data sheet at the end of this manual
contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity.
∙ 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.
∙ To maintain the quality of deep-frozen food, it should be
transported only in suitable containers and then placed
