1 Important Safety Instructions
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.
• Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the
back of the appliance. A damaged power plug may overheat and
cause a fire.
• If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There
is a risk of electric shock or fire.
• 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 2 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.
818 22 86-00/8 5
Important Safety Instructions
• If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
Child Safety
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the
product.
• 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.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as,
spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the freezer.
• 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.
Maintenance and Cleaning
• Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance and disconnect from
the electrical supply.

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 to transport 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.
818 22 86-00/8 7
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
corresponds 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:
8 818 22 86-00/8
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
The freezer needs ventilation
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.
Installation
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“).
Remove the two wall spacers from
the appliance accessories pack and,
in accordance with the illustrations,
fix them at the top of the rear of the
appliance so that the distance from
the wall required for the necessary
ventilation is ensured.
818 22 86-00/8 9
Installation
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.
.
10 818 22 86-00/8
Electrical Connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried
out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
1
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures
not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the
same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is
inside, on the left.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of
having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA
approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green
Green and Yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of this appliance may
not correspond with the coloured
markings indentifying the termi-
Blue
nals in your plug, proceed as follows:
1. The wire coloured green and
yellow must be connected to
the terminal marked with the
letter “E“ or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.
2. The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal “N“ or
coloured black.
3. The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked
“L“ or coloured red.
4. Upon completion there must be not cut, or stray strands of wire
present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheat.

Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious
1
safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
818 22 86-00/8 11
Reversing the door
The door hinges can be changed from right (as supplied) to left if
required to suit the location where the appliance is installed.
