Before you put the appliance into operation

• Carefully study the user's manual and installation instructions before installing and using the appliance!

This user's manual includes important information regarding the installation, operation and maintenance

of the appliance. Store the user's manual also for future reference, or for other owners of the appliance

if the appliance is sold.

If the appliance is transported in a horizontal position the oil from the compressor may leak into the

cooling circuit. For this reason, allow the appliance to rest in a vertical position for 12 hours before

turning it on, so that the oil ows back into the compressor.

After unpacking the appliance, carefully inspect that it has in not been damaged in any way. Also

check that the power cord is not damaged. If you discover any defects, turn o the appliance and

contact the vendor or in the case of a damaged power cord contact the service centre. If the appliance

and all its parts are in order, install it according to the instructions in the relevant chapter.

• When installing the appliance in its place, or when moving the appliance, the power cord could be

penetrated or damaged. Check that the power cord is not interfering anywhere.

Technical safety

The appliance contains a cooling gas, ISOBUTHAN (R600a). Only transport or move the appliance

with the utmost care, prevent excessive impacts and shaking to prevent damaging

the appliance. If the cooling circuit becomes damaged and the cooling gas may be escaping, there is a

risk of an explosion, which may be ignited by a spark or ame. If the appliance shows signs of damage, it must

not be put into operation. In such a case contact the service centre, ventilate the room where the appliance is

located and prevent the spreading of ames or other interference with the appliance.

Safety instructions for gas R600a

Measures in case of an unexpected release

If ventilation is possible, allow the material to evaporate.

Characteristics of the gas

The gas is highly ammable, it is necessary to completely prevent contact with an open ame and hot surfaces.

Because the R600a gas is heavier than air, it may become very concentrated at the level of the ground, where

ventilation is weak.

First aid

Inhalation

Take the aected person from the contaminated area to a warm, well ventilated location. Staying in

a contaminated location for a long time may cause suocation, or potentially loss of consciousness. If

necessary, provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and in exceptionally serious situations, under expert

medical supervision, give oxygen.

Contact with the skin

Random contact with the skin will not endanger health, it is better to thoroughly wash the aected area. The

liquid spray or dispersed liquid may cause frost bite, wash the aected area with large amounts of water and

contact a medical doctor.

Contact with the eyes

If eyes have been aected, wash out with large amounts of water, while trying to keep the eyes open, and call

a specialised doctor as soon as possible.

If contact or inhalation of the R600a gas occurs, contact your medical doctor.

PART 3: INSTALLATION

Transport and unpacking

If the appliance is transported in a horizontal position the oil from the compressor may leak into the cooling

circuit. For this reason, allow the appliance to rest in a vertical position for 12 hours before turning it on, so that

the oil ows back into the compressor.

Remove the external packaging, remove the protective plastic lm from the surface of the appliance (if used)

and clean the external parts of the appliance with an agent designed for this purpose. Do not use steel wool or

any coarse agents, which could irreparably damage the surface of the appliance. Carefully remove all papers

and adhesive tape from the appliance, door and other parts packed in polystyrene. Remove documents and

accessories from inside the appliance.

The packaging material is recyclable and is marked with a recycling symbol. For disposal follow the local

regulations. Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children,

because they present a possible source of danger.

Carefully inspect the appliance. If you discover any defects, stop the installation and contact the vendor.

Operating conditions

The proper operation of the appliance, the cooling temperature are guaranteed only when the following

conditions are met:

 The temperature in the room where the appliance is located conforms to the climate class stated on the

appliance's rating label.

 Maximum ambient relative humidity: 90%.

 The appliance must be placed at a sucient distance from heat sources (e.g. baking ovens, central heating,

direct sunlight, etc.).

 The appliance must be located in such a place that it is protected against the eects of weather.

 Regular maintenance is performed according to the instructions in this user's manual.

 The ventilation openings in the cover of the appliance must not be covered by anything.

 Correct installation (e.g. levelling, the capacity of the system correspond to the specications on the rating

label of the appliance.)

Placement

The location for the placement of the appliance must meet the requirements in the paragraph "Operating

conditions" and must have a stable oor with a load bearing capacity corresponding to the weight of the appliance.

Furthermore you must maintain distances and dimensions of the appliance, so that correct operation

is ensured:

1. Top part at least 20 cm;

2. Rear part at least 10 cm;

3. The wall on the side where the door opens at least 30 cm.

Ventilation requirements

The area behind the appliance must provide for sucient air circulation.

Level the appliance using the adjustable feet, ensure there is a gap between the bottom edge of the appliance

and the ground, so that there is sucient circulation of the cooling air, by which you will ensure the optimal

performance of the cooling circuit.

Check whether any cooling circulation pipes have been damaged during the installation.

 Use the appliance only for the purposes for which it has been designed.

 The appliance must be located on a rigid and even surface.

In this way you will ensure free circulation of the coolant and eective operation of your appliance.

 If possible, place the appliance into a cool, well ventilated and dry room.

 Do not locate the appliance in direct sunlight, or in a room with a high temperature, in the vicinity of any

sources of direct heat, such as heating, an oven, a stove, etc. – this would mean that the compressor would

need to work a lot harder resulting a substantially higher power consumption level.

If it is not possible to prevent the installation in the vicinity of a heat source, we recommend the insertion of an

appropriate insulating board (do not use asbestos) between the appliance and the heat source; or at least to

maintain the following minimum distances:

 From a gas or electric stove 5 cm;

 From a heater or oven, etc. 50 cm;

 From another cooling appliance 2 cm.

Do not place any appliances on the appliance, which release heat on to the appliance, such as microwave

ovens, toasters, etc.

Never cover the ventilation grill. Pull out the power plug by pulling on the plug itself, never pull on the cord

when disconnecting the appliance.

Before turning on the appliance allow it to stand in its nal location for 12 hours, the coolant circuit

will stabilise in this way and no operating problems will occur. Before connecting the appliance to the

power grid check that it is perfectly dry inside – especially in the corners.

Danger warning

The coolant may be highly ammable, depending on its composition. The coolant circuit was

hermetically closed and sealed and was tested many times for possible leaks. Any unqualied

tampering with the product may cause a re hazard. Check that there is no mechanical interruption

or eect on the coolant circulation, namely in the accessible parts around the compressor.

Only professionally qualied persons may work on the cooling system.

Cleaning before use

Check that you have removed from the appliance all adhesive tape used to hold accessories . Then clean all the

inside parts using lukewarm water with a neutral cleaning agent, vinegar or sodium carbonate – in this way

you will remove the characteristic odour of new parts – then dry carefully. Do not use detergents or aggressive

agents, which could damage the surfaces.

Electrical connection

Before connecting the power plug to the power socket, check that:

 Your hands are completely dry.

 The voltage and frequency shown on the rating label of the appliance corresponds to that in the home

power grid (permitted tolerance from -6% to +6% for nominal voltage, for use with dierent voltages, use

a voltage changer with the corresponding parameters).

 The cord and the plug are not damaged or caught under heavy objects.

 The power cord is not excessively tensioned, it is not permitted to use an extension cord.

Do not connect the appliance to a voltage rectier (e.g. solar power plant) or use an extension cord.

The appliance must be connected to a working grounding lead. If the power socket of the home

system is not grounded in accordance with the current legal regulations, connect the appliance

after consulting a specialised technician to the grounding lead itself. The manufacturer takes no

responsibility for injuries caused as a result of not following these instructions.

If you do not correctly level the freezer during the installation, the doors may not close shut and seal

properly, which may cause problems with the cooling, ice build up or moisture. Levelling the freezer is

very important.

Level the freezer using the adjustable feet – turn them clockwise to lift the freezer and turn them anticlockwise

to lower the freezer.
