SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WWAARRNNIINNGGSS AANNDD GGUUIIDDEELLIINNEESS

These warnings are provided to improve safety, and should
be read carefully before installing or using your freezer.

This freezer is only intended for the freezing and storage of
food.

This freezer should only be operated by adults. Children
must not be allowed to tamper with the control knobs or play
with the freezer.

Changes in the electrical mains system in connection with
the installation of this freezer should always be carried out by
an authorised electrician or competent person.

Do not under any circumstances attempt to repair the freezer
yourself. Repairs carried out by untrained people may result
in personal injury or serious malfunction of the freezer.

Service of the freezer should be carried out by an authorised
service company, and only original spare parts should be
used. See under Guarantee Conditions and Service.

It is dangerous to alter the freezer specifications, or to
change the freezer in any other way.

Make sure that the freezer is not placed on top of the mains
cable.

Do not re-freeze food once it has been defrosted.
Observe the recommendations for storage carefully. See

under Helpful Hints.
This freezer includes components that are heated during

operation. Consequently, adequate ventilation must always
be provided. If ventilation is insufficient defects may occur,
resulting in the loss of food. See under Installation.

The inside of the freezer contains pipes through which
coolant flows. If these pipes are punctured the freezer may
be damaged beyond repair, and food may be lost. Do not
use sharp implements to remove frost or ice. Frost can be
removed using the enclosed scraper. Do not knock ice off
the sides of the freezer, but remove it by defrosting the
freezer. See under Maintenance.

Do not place drinks in the freezer. Bottles and cans
containing carbonic acid or sparkling drinks are particularly
prone to explosion, which may damage the freezer.

This freezer is heavy. Take care when moving it.
If the freezer is fitted with a lock to prevent tampering by

children, the key must always be kept safely out of the reach
of children, and far away from the freezer.

Before disposing of an old freezer, make sure that the lock (if
present) no longer works. This is to prevent accidents and
avoid the danger of children getting locked inside.

Ice lollies can cause frostbite if eaten direct from the freezer.

RREEFFRRIIGGEERRAANNTT

Your appliance contains an environmental friendly
natural gas, isobutane (R600a) as refrigerant, which
is nevertheless flammable.

During transportation and installation of the
appliance, be sure that none of the components of
the cooling circuit become damaged.

If any part of the cooling circuit damaged:

 avoid naked flames and sources of ignition;
 thoroughly ventilate the room in which the

appliance is installed.

Appliance Packaging Information

All materials are environmentally sound! They can be
dumped or burned at an incinerating plant without
danger!

About the materials: 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 all
free of chlorofluorocarbon.

The carton parts are made from recycled paper and
should be disposed of at a waste-paper recycling
collection location.

Disposal of old Appliances

For environmental reasons, refrigaration appliances must
be disposed of properly. This applies to your old
appliance, and -at the end of its service life- for your new
appliance as well.

Warning!

Before disposing of old appliances make them
inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the
power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch
closures. This eliminates the danger that playing
children lock themselves into the appliance
(danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into
other life-endangering situations.

Disposal

The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic
waste or bulky refuse.

The refrigerating circuit may not be damaged.
Information concerning collection schedules or

locations can be obtained from the disposal
authorities or town hall.

IMPORTANT
It is vital that these instructions are kept with the
freezer for future use. If the freezer is sold or given
to another user, or if you move and leave the freezer
behind, you must ensure that the instructions
accompany the freezer to enable the next user to
use the freezer correctly and read the relevant
warnings.

PPOOSSIITTIIOONN

Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting on
all four plastic feet. Use a wooden block or similar object
to compensate for any bumps/holes in the surface.

The room should be dry and adequately ventilated.
If the room temperature exceeds 32°C, or falls below

freezing point, the freezer will not function as it should.
Do not place the freezer close to sources of heat,

radiators, chimneys, etc., and do not place the freezer in
direct sunlight.

If the freezer has been handled standing on end it should
be allowed to stand in normal position for about 12 hours
before switching it on.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.

SSWWIITTCCHHIINNGG OONN

Before switching on, the freezer should be cleaned inside.
See under Maintenance.

Set the thermostat knob in middle position. Allow the
freezer to run for several hours before placing food inside.

The green light is illuminated as long as the freezer is
connected.

EELLEECCTTRRIICCAALL RREEQQUUIIRREEMMEENNTTSS

Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating
plate, located inside the lid.

For your convenience, this appliance comes complete with
either a moulded-on or re-wireable 13 amp (BS1363) plug,
protected by a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse.

In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug
supplied, a replacement 13 amp ASTA approved (BS1362)
fuse must be used.

In the case of a moulded-on plug, the fuse cover MUST be
refitted after changing fuse. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged
the plug MUST NOT be used until a replacement is obtained.

Replacement covers are avaliable from your local electricity
shop or nearest customer service centre. The colour of the
replacement fuse cover must match the colour insert or
emboss on the base of the plug.

In the case of a re-wireable plug care must be taken to
ensure that the top cover is refitted without causing damage
to either the top cover or base. In the event of the plug
becoming damaged or cracked, it must be replaced with an
equivalent 13 amp, BS1363 approved plug (ref. fig. 1) and
rewired using the following procedure:
