User Manual

Positioning the Cabinet

Climate Class The freezer is designed to operate within a climate class 5 environment

(40°C @ 40% RH). We recommend that you put the freezer in the coolest
place possible because it will use less power and last longer.

Freezer

Location

Avoid direct sunlight, warm draughts etc. Allow adequate space for doors to
open and close properly. Self-closing doors have internal torsion bars
pretensioned at the factory, and must be unobstructed. Ensure the cabinet
sits on a level surface so that the doors shut and correctly seal. Level footing
also prevents the condensate tray from overflowing.

Power Cord The power cord exits from the top rear of the cabinet and is fitted with a 3-pin

plug. Pull the power cord around so that it’s not trapped before you position
the cabinet. Note: Single unit freezers are fitted with one power cord. Twin
unit freezers are fitted with two power cords, one for each refrigeration unit.

Ventilation See diagram below for ventilation guidelines. When positioning the freezer,

ensure there is at least a 200mm space above the top panel. Adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration unit is essential for efficient operation.
The air surrounding the refrigeration unit must not exceed 40°C. Keep the
ventilation slots at the top of the cabinet clear at all times and never store
cardboard cartons or other objects on top of the freezer.

Note: Remote cabinets require a minimum of 300mm clearance above the
top panel to allow for service access.
