in this Owner's Manual.
2. This freezer must be properly
installed in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it
is used.
3. Do not allow children to climb,
stand or hang on the shelves in
the freezer. They could seriously
injure themselves and damage
the freezer.
4. After your freezer is in operation,
do not touch the cold surfaces
in the freezer compartment,
particularly when hands are
damp or wet. Skin may adhere
to these extremely cold
surfaces.
5. Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
6. In freezers with an automatic

7. Unplug your freezer before
cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed
by a qualified individual.
8. Before replacing a burned out
light bulb, set the POWER
switch in the OFF position to
turn off the lights in order to
avoid contact with a live wire
filament.
9. A burned out light bulb may
break when being replaced.
NOTE: Setting the freezer
temperature controls to OFF
does not remove power to the
light circuit.
10. Do not refreeze frozen foods
which have thawed completely.
WARNING
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned refrigeration products
are still dangerous even if they wilt
sit for "just a few days." Ifyou are
getting rid of your otd appliance,
please follow these instructions to
hetp prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so
that children may not easily
climb inside.
Electrical Connection
The appliance comes with an UL
listed, 3 wire power supply cord.
The appliance requires a 3 wire
receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed by
a licensed electrician only.
Grounding instruction
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding witt reduce
the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance
for the electric current.
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have
the appliance checked by a qualified
electrician or service technician
if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance has been properly
grounded.
Some local regulations may require
a seperate ground. In such cases,
the required accessory ground wire,
clamp and screw must be
purchased seperatety.
Never ground the appliance to
plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or
water pipes.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your otd freezer may have a cooling
system that used CFC's
(chtorofluorocarbons). CFC's are
believed to harm stratospheric
ozone.
If you are throwing away an otd
refrigeration product, make sure the
CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified
servicer. If you intentionally release
this CFC refrigerant, you can be
subject to fines and imprisonment

Freezer 30"
255 tbs / 115 kg
300 Ibs / 135 kg
335 tbs / 150 kg
Installation room
The appliance should be installed in
a dry, welt ventilated room.
The ambient temperature shoutd not
drop below 55 °F (13 °C) or rise
above 110 °F (43 °C), otherwise
malfunctions may occur.
The installation location should not
be exposed to direct sunlight and
not placed near a heat source, such
as an oven, radiator, etc.
If installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable
insulating plate or observe the
following minimum distances from
the heat source:
1.2" (3 cm) from an electric
cooker,
12" (30 cm) from an oil or
solid fuel cooker.
Installation cavity
It is important to observe the
specified dimensions of the
installation cavity for a trouble-free
installation of the appliance and for
the subsequent general view of the
furniture front.
In particular ensure that the cavity is
square. Squareness can be checked
by suitable means, e.g. spirit level,
diagonal measurements, etc.
Furniture/fi xt ures
The new appliance wilt be mounted
securely to adjacent and overhead
furniture/fixtures.
For this reason it is essential that all
attachable furniture/fixtures are
connected securely to the base or

installed securely and functions
properly, the base must be flat and
level.
The base must be made of hard,
rigid material.
The installation area must be the
same height as the rest of the room.
On account of the heavy weight of a
fully loaded appliance,
a toad bearing base is required.

As soon as the freezer has cooled
down to freezing temperature, the
ice cube tray fills with water. Cold air
is blown directly over the tray.
As soon as they are frozen, the ice
cubes falt into the ice cube
container.
When the ice cube container is full,
the ice maker switches off
automatically.
The ice maker can produce approx.
125 ice cubes within 24 hours.
Do not place any bottles or food
for rapid cooling in the ice cube
container. The ice maker may
become blocked and be
damaged.
Switching on the ice

Do the ice cubes have
an unusual odor?
Ice is a porous material which can
absorb odors from the environment.
Ice cubes which have been in the ice
cube container for a tong time may
absorb such odors, stick together
and slowly become smaller.
We recommend that these ice cubes
are no longer used.
Other means of preventing odors:
The ice cube container should
be cleaned occasionally with
warm water. Make sure that you
move the ice maker sensor arm
up to the STOP position before
cleaning the container. Rinse
out and wipe dry.
Check the contents of the
freezer for spoilt or out-of date
food. All odorous foods should
be wrapped thoroughly or
stored in airtight containers to
prevent the build up of odors.
How to save
energy
Install the appliance in a dry,
ventilated room; do not expose
to direct sunlight and do not
place near a heat source
(e.g. radiator, cooker).
If required, use an insulating
plate.
Allow warm food and drinks to
coot down before placing them
in the appliance.
Defrost frozen food by placing it
in the refrigerator. The tow
temperature of the frozen food
wilt refrigerate the food in the
refrigerator compartment.
Open the appliance door as
briefly as possible!
