These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure that you understand them all before installing or using this appli­ance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about any of the meanings of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department.
Prior to Installation
• Check the freezer for transport damage. Under no circumstances should a damaged appliance be installed! In the event of damage, please contact your retailer.
Installation
• This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.
• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way.
• Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a cable available from your local Service Force Centre.
• Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
• Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Whenever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall, but leaving the required distance for ventilation, as stated in the installation instruc­tions.
• The appliance should be left for 4 hours after installation before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmen­tal compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
• During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become dam­aged.
• If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition; – thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.

• Keep packaging material away from children! (There is a risk of suffo­cation!)
During Use
• This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. It is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

• Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out.
• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer.
• Ice lollies can cause ’frost/freezer burns’ if consumed straight from the freezer compartment.
• Do not remove items from the freezer compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze.
• Manufacturers´ recommended storage times should be adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

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.

Before Use
Packaging
0 1. Remove all adhesive tape and packaging from the interior of the appli-
ance.
Any remnants of adhesive can be removed with white spirit.
3
2. Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape.
3. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little
bicarbonate of soda added (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.

Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance 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 26-01/8 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 reversing the door, the door seal fits 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 spacers enclosed in the plastic wrapping should be glued between the appli­ances as shown in the illustration.
