For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

POSITION

Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting on all four plastic feet. Use a wooden block or similar object to compensate for any bumps/holes in the surface. The room should be dry and adequately ventilated. Temperatures of the external environment have an impact on the energy consumption of the device. Therefore:

- do not put the device to a place exposed to sunshine ore besides a radiator or oven, - put it to a place where the temperature of the environment corresponds to the climatic classifica-

tion for which the device was designed.

Climatic classification	Ambient temperature limits
SN	from +10°C to +32°C
N	from +16°C to +32°C
ST	from +18°C to +38°C
T	from +18°C to +43°C

If the freezer has been handled standing on end it should be allowed to stand in normal position for about 12 hours before switching it on. Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessi- ble for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate, located inside the lid.

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

this appliance complies with the following EC Directives:

-73/23/EEC of 19. 02. 1973 - Low-Voltage Directive

-89/336/EEC of 03. 05. 1989 (including Amendment Directive 92/31/EEC - EMC Directive. Some of the models are not available in all countries.

Testing has been carried out in accordance with ISO 5155 regarding the determination of freezer capacity, energy consumption and hold-overtime.

Information for test institute: A plan of the positioning of test packages may be obtained directly from the manufacturer.

SWITCHING ON

Before switching on, the freezer should be cleaned inside. See under “Maintenance”. Set the thermostat button in middle position. Allow the freezer to run for several hours before placing food inside.

OPENING/CLOSING THE LID

The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent moisture getting inside the freezer and increasing the amount of frost formed. When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer and expands. As soon as the lid is closed again the air is cooled immediately. This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid immediately after it has been closed. This is quite normal. Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared, then open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle vio- lently.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. Turning the thermo- stat button towards no. 7 makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards no. 1 makes the temperature warmer. The correct setting can be found by measuring the temperature of the top package in the middle of the freezer. This should not have a temperature higher than –18°C.
