strips.
- Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children, as they are a potential
source of danger e.g. from suffocation.
●
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 2 hours before connecting the unit and
switching it on after it has been positioned.
- When the unit is first switched on, a slight 'new' 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 rear should have a minimum clearance of 10 cm from the wall.
The unit must not be installed inside a cabinet, nor directly below a hanging cupboard,
shelf or similar object .
- The clearance above the unit should be at least 10 cm.
- If the unit is positioned next to another refrigerator or freezer, a minimum lateral
distance of 2.5 cm is essential in order to prevent condensation from forming.
- Ensure that there is sufficient space in front for the door to open to 160°.
In the case of uneven floors, the adjustable feet at the front 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 doors
The design provides for the doors to be
reversed, i.e. for right-hinged (default
installation) to become left-hinged.
1. Remove the two screw covers (11) and the
screws (10).
2. Remove the entire top panel (9).
3. Remove the three threaded bolts (6)
securing the 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 protective corner-piece (7) and
