Environmental Information
Packaging
All transit packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be reused. Wood is un-treated. The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the inte­rior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are pure hydrocarbon compounds and can be recycled.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper. Please dispose of the packaging with due care for the environment.
Old Appliances
When disposing of your old appliance: Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the cable and remove any
door catches to ensure small children cannot be trapped inside. Help to keep your country tidy - use an authorised disposal site.
Appliance Transport
Two persons are required for transport of the appliance. There are two recessed handles at the front of the base and at the back of the appli­ance at the top for improved gripping.
0 1. Grip the appliance with the recessed handles positioned as in the draw-
ing, and transport the appliance.
2. In order to push the appliance into its final position, press carefully at the top of the door and tip the appliance back slightly. The weight is then transferred to the back wheels and the appliance can be easily pushed.

Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore
not be exposed to direct sunlight;not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corre-
sponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is
designed. The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 to +32 °C
N +16 to +32 °C
ST +18 to +38 °C
T +18 to +43 °C
818 19 26-00/0 9
Installation
The freezer needs air
Air is fed under the door through the vent slots in the base and is exhausted upwards along the back wall. To ensure proper air circulation never cover or alter the vent openings.
Important! If the appliance is installed under, for example, a hanging cabinet, a clearance of at least 10 cm between the top of the appliance and the cabinet above it must be maintained.
Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after rehingeing the door, the door seal seals tightly. A badly fitting door seal may lead to heavy frosting and a higher power consumption (see also Something not working“).
Appliance Alignment
0 1. The appliance must be level. Please compensate for unevenness in the
floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front.
2. When two appliances are placed beside each other, the distances enclosed in the plastic wrapping should be glued between the appli­ances as shown in the illustration.
