Location Requirements

To ensure trouble-free operation, the appliance must not be
exposed to temperatures below 16 °C or above 32 °C.
Avoid the following installation locations: kitchens with no
ventilation, outside spaces, greenhouses, garages. For correct
functioning, the appliance must be installed:
in a dry place.
Away from direct sunlight.
Away from extreme temperatures (away from cookers or other
heat sources).
As the appliance will be very heavy when full, it must be positioned
on a sound, strong floor.

Ventilation requirements

Push the freezer gently into place until it is the optimum distance
from the wall.
Ensure that once positioned, there is at least 50 mm clearance
above the appliance.
If there is insufficient space available above, leave a distance of 25
mm on both sides.
Check that the appliance is not crushing the power supply cable.
No parts that may become hot must be left exposed. Where possible,
the rear of the appliance should be near the wall, leaving sufficient
space for air to circulate.
Leveling
WALL
The appliance must be level; to eliminate any rocking:
check that the appliance is vertical and that both adjustment
devices are resting firmly on the floor, so that the compartment is
level.
Level the appliance, loosening the appropriate adjustment device
positioned at the front (using your fingers or a screwdriver).
The appliance is heavy. Exercise due caution when moving it.
*For detailed specifications, see the rating plate on the rear of the
freezer. The specifications are subject to alteration without prior
notice.
Note:
The direction of door opening can be changed. If this
operation is performed by After-sales Service it is not
covered by the warranty.
