Thank you for purchasing your new fridge/
freezer from Vestfrost. Please note that
these instructions apply to all fridge/freezers
in the FZ range. Illustrations and fittings
may therefore not necessarily correspond
exactly to your model.

Warning

As the refrigerant used in this appliance is a
flammable gas (Isobutane R600a), special
care must be taken to prevent damage
to the refrigerant circuit and piping during
transport and installation.

If damage does occur, avoid sparks or
naked flame in the vicinity of the appliance,
ensure that the room is well ventilated,
disconnect the power supply, and contact
your supplier.

The unit must only be serviced by qualified
technicians from an approved service
centre.

Old appliances

Old refrigerators and freezers are often
fitted with complicated latches that can
only be opened from the outside. If you
have one of these old units stored away
somewhere, or if you scrap one, remember
to destroy the latch first in order to prevent
children from being exposed to danger by
getting locked inside the unit.

reported to the local distributor before the
appliance is put to use.

Remove the packaging. Clean the inside of
the cabinet using warm water with a mild
detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry
thoroughly (see cleaning instructions). Use
a soft cloth.

If during transport the appliance has been
laid down, or if it has been stored in cold
surroundings (colder than +5°C), it must be
allowed to stabilise in an upright position for
at least an hour before being switched on.

Installation and start-up

Placement

For safety and operational reasons, the
appliance must not be installed outdoors.

The appliance should be placed on a level
surface in a dry, well ventilated room (max.
75% relative air humidity). Never place the
appliance close to sources of heat such as
cookers or radiators, and avoid placing it in
direct sunlight.

Room temperature

The climate class is stated on the
nameplate (see fig. 1 on page 3 and fig. 17
on page 13). This specifies the optimum
room temperature.

Climate class Optimum room

temperature

SN +10 ºC to +32 ºC
N +16 ºC to +32 ºC
ST +18 ºC to +38 ºC
T +18 ºC to +43 ºC

Installation

The surface on which the appliance is to be
placed must be level. Do not use a frame or
similar.

The appliance can be installed as a free­standing unit against a wall, built into a
kitchen element, or lined up with other
appliances (figs 2 and 3).

Special considerations for
climate class ST

When building in the appliance where room
temperature exceeds +32 °C (climate class
ST), there must be at least 25 mm free
space to the right and left of it. In addition,
there must be 100 mm free space above
the appliance (see fig. 2b).

When setting up domestic appliances
side-by-side, there must be at least 30
mm between them, 25 mm between such
appliances and other kitchen elements and
100 mm above the appliances (see fig. 3b).

viewed from above

If the appliance is placed beside a wall,
there must be sufficient room for the freezer
door to be opened wide enough to allow the
drawers to be pulled out (fig. 4).

Fitting the tilt-stop

A tilt-stop can be fitted to prevent the
unit from tilting forwards when the door
is opened. Mount the tilt-stop on the wall
behind the appliance 80-100 mm from the
left or right side of the appliance depending
on the side on which the door is hinged.
The tilt-stop must always be fitted on the
side opposite to the hinge (fig. 5).

Ventilation

It is important that the appliance be
well ventilated and that air can circulate
unhindered above, below and around it. The
figures below illustrate how the necessary
air circulation can be ensured (figs 6 and

7). If two fridge/freezers are placed side
by side, there must be at least 30 mm
clearance between them.
