Directions for use
In the following, you will find all the important information for the use of your appliance.
The instructions for use apply to several models, which is why details of the information may differ according to the type of the appliance.
1Installation (Choice of position for installation)
Strictly avoid high ambient temperatures and direct sunlight. We advise you to place your appliance in a cool, well aired, dry room. Installation in the immediate vicinity of a heat source (heating, oven etc.) is highly inappropriate (increased compressor performance would be necessary and, as a result, power consumption would be considerably higher).
If the installation near a heat source cannot be avoided, a suitable insulation plate must be fitted between the appliance and the heat source (do not use asbestos), or the following minimum distances must be observed:
from gas or electric cooker | 3 | cm |
from radiator or oven | 5 | cm |
from a wall, piece of furniture or
another appliance | 2 cm |
Never obstruct the ventilation grille
Larger chest freezers are equipped with a ventilation grille (F) located below on one side. These appliances can be placed directly against a wall or a piece of furniture but not with the side protected with the ventilation grille.
Freezers without ventilation grille
Leave sufficient space between the rear of the appliance and the wall to ensure that outward flow of warm air is able to escape.
The appliance must be placed horizontally and on a levelled base. Only this way can an impeded circuit of the refrigerant and optimum function be ensured.
IMPORTANT!
Leave the appliance stand in the final position for at least 2 hours before switching it on, so that the refrigerant circuit stabilises and no operating problems occur.
The odour which is typical of all new appliances is easy to remove.
Thoroughly clean the interior compartment with a mixture of lukewarm water and vinegar.
Do not use washing liquids, sharp or granular cleaning implements, or any cleaning products containing soda.
Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the inner area – especially the corners – is absolutely dry.
Danger warning
Depending on its composition, the refrigerant is easily inflammable. The refrigerant circuit is hermetically sealed and the density has been subject to repeated tests.
An improper intervention can cause acute fire hazard.
Instruction for use
Omit any mechanical influence on the cooling system, especially on the following accessible parts in the compressor chamber (L):
Rear wall condenser or skin condenser (R)
Compressor (P) (motor)
Capillary tube (Q)
Drying filter (N)
Interventions on the cooling system must be carried out by professional and authorised personnel only.
IMPORTANT!
Escaping refrigerant can injure your eyes.
In the event of eye contact with the refrigerant, wash your eyes instantly under plenty of running water and call/consult an eye specialist immediately.
2Rating plate
The rating plate (with technical data) is located on the housing (D) at the rear of the appliance.
Take a note of the technical data
Copy the technical data from the rating plate to here so that it is at any time readily available, without having to move the appliance

3Connection to power supply
Your appliance must be connected to a power socked with grounded connection, which is conform to the respective standards and has been installed by an authorised specialist.
Before you connect the plug of the appliance with the power socket, make absolutely sure that
the voltage (V) on the appliance’s
If the voltage differs, notify the
4temperature selection (Thermostat) (FIG.4)
To prevent temperature being accidentally modified, the control is intentionally resistant to turning. To vary the setting, we recommend to use a coin or screwdriver.
To switch on: Turn the control to the right
adjust temperature to the level you require, between:
-Min. (slight cooling) and
-max. (lowest temperature)
