door).
Before using for the first time
- Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials completely, including the adhesive
strips.
●
Before it is connected to the mains, the unit must be thoroughly checked for transport
damage, including its power cord.
- Clean the unit as described in the section De-frosting and cleaning.
- To ensure proper functioning, wait for about 3 hours before connecting the unit and
switching it on after it has been positioned.
- When the unit is first switched on, a slight smell may be noticed. However, this will
disappear once the cooling process has begun.
Installation
The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry room. It should be operated in an
ambient temperature of 16 to 32 °C and a relative humidity of max. 70 %. Ensure that the
plug is accessible and can be removed from the wall socket at any time. Do not expose the
appliance to direct sunlight, and do not position it next to any heat sources (radiators,
cookers etc).
- The distance from heat sources such as heaters, gas ovens or solid-fuel stoves must be at
least 50 cm; for electric stoves, 5 cm is sufficient.
- The clearance above the unit should be at least 5 cm.
- If the unit is positioned next to another refrigerator or freezer, a minimum lateral
distance of 2 cm is essential in order to prevent condensation from forming.
Cellars usually offer the most suitable installation location.
In the case of uneven floors, the adjustable feet on the unit can be used to compensate and
ensure optimum stability. The freezer should be installed at a slight angle in such a way that
it leans to the rear: this will ensure that the door will close automatically and cannot be left
open by mistake. Ensure, however, that both front feet are set to the same height.
Ventilation
The heated air around the rear of the unit must be able to circulate freely. Therefore, ensure
that the air circulation behind the unit is not obstructed.
Reversible door
The design provides for the door to be reversed, i.e. for right-hinged (default installation) to
become left-hinged.
1. Remove the four screw covers (11) and the screws (10).
2. Remove the entire top panel (9), and the cover plate (8).
3. Remove the two threaded bolts (6) securing the upper hinge plate (5) on the right-hand
side.
4. Carefully lift up the door and place it on a suitable surface to protect it from scratches.
5. Take off the plug (7) and re-position it in the corresponding hole on the right-hand side,
pushing it firmly down.
6. Remove the two threaded bolts (6) securing the lower hinge plate (2) on the right-hand
side.
7. Take out the adjustable feet (4) and re-position them on the opposite sides.
8. Replace the door in its new position. Ensure that the hinge pin is inserted into the guide
bushing (hole) on the lower part of the housing.
