Congratulations with your new freezer. We feel certain that it will be very useful to
you for many years ahead.
To obtain optimal benefit from your freezer, please read the following instructions
thoroughly and act accordingly.

1. INSTALLATION

A1. Check whether the freezer has been damaged during transportation.
If yes, contact your dealer immediately.
A2. Place the freezer on a plane surface and level it by means of the two
adjustable feet under the front of the cabinet. Use a spirit level. The
freezer can be built in if you leave a free space of min. 50mm over the cabinet.
A3. Do not place the freezer close to strongly heat-emitting sources, and
do not expose it to extensive sunlight.
A glass door freezer must never be place in direct sunlight.
A4. Note that the ultra-violet rays of the sun can affect goods stored in
Freezer with see-thru door.
A5. The freezer is equipped with a condenser on the rear side and we
recommend to have the condenser cleaned with a soft brush each
second month.
A6. To minimize operating costs and maximize the life time of the compressor
it is essential to allow a good ventilation of the rear condenser.

A7. The freezer has been cleaned from the factory but we recommend you to clean
It again using a solution of one teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate to 0.5 litre
hot water.
Do not clean the glass door with powder or scrubbing detergents

2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This freezer is equipped with a non-rewire able plug. If the plug does not fit with the

socket, you have to call the service or appointed skilled people

This installation of a new plug may only be made by skilled persons.

WARNING: This freezer must be earthed.

Plug the mains lead into a socket, which will supply the voltage, indicated on the rating plate.
Europe usually 230V/50Hz. Variations in the mains voltage of +/- 10% are allowed, but major
variations will reduce the life time of the compressor.

If there is any doubt about the correctness of the installation, we recommend that a

qualified electrician, who can assure that the freezer, is operating satisfactorily and

that it has not been damaged in transit should check it.

If the supply cord is damaged it should be replaced by the manufacturer or appointed

service agent in order to avoid a hazard.

Our freezers are made from first-class material comply with IEC requirements.

of one spoon bicarbonate of soda to 0.5 litre warm water. Do not clean the

glass door and freezing shelves with powder or scrabbling detergents.

A2. If the freezer has been exposed to very low ambient temperatures do not

switch on the current to the freezer until the compressor temperature is

estimated to be at least +10°C.

A3. Always ensure that the fresh food or frozen food do not impede the free air

circulation (for the glass door model with internal fan motor) as this may give

rise to excessive differences in temperature between the bottom and the

upper part of the freezer.

A4. As the temperature in the freezer depends to a high degree on the ambient

conditions unfortunately, it is not possible to give general directions for the

exact positions of the thermostat. You are advised to adjust the thermostat

according to the ambient conditions of your freezer. ( 25°C approx.

thermostat pos. 4 and 30°C approx. pos. 5).

instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

The storage life of frozen food varies and the recommended storage times should not

be exceeded.

life may be reduced and the storage time stated may not then apply.

This may occur:

During manual defrosting (If you don’t take the frozen food away during the defrost.
