CONTENTS
• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer as it creates pressure on the container,
which may cause it to explode, resulting in
damage to the appliance. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial means to
speed up the thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. Never use
metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it
may get damaged.
Installation
• During normal operation, the condenser and
compressor at the back of the appliance heat up
considerably. For safety reasons, minimum
ventilation must be as shown in the relevant
Figure.
Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of
obstruction.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable
Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a special cord or assembly
available from the manufacturer or its service
agent.
• There are working parts in this product which
heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate
ventilation as a failure to do this will result in
component failure and possible food loss. See
installation instructions.
• Parts which heat up should not be exposed.
Wherever possible the back of the product
should be against a wall.
• If the appliance has been transported
horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in
the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It
is advisable to wait at least two hours before
connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow
back in the compressor.
