Getting Started (Cont.)
• Upright, level position: When installing the appliance, tilt it carefully – not more
than 45° – and move it to its designated place; the freezer has roll wheels under the
back corners of the base to help you position it into place.
Also ensure to install the appliance level, which is necessary for proper operation.
Use the levelling feet at the front corners of the base for adjustment, if necessary.
Electrical connection
•
Before plugging in your new freezer, let it stand upright for at least 4 hours.
This will allow the refrigerant gases to settle into the compressor and reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.
• Earthing: The appliance must be earthed. The plug of the power supply cord is
equipped with a contact for this purpose. Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove the third (earth) prong from the power cord. If the plug does not fit your
outlet, consult a licensed electrician for advice to have the outlet changed.
• Plug: Before plugging the freezer into a dedicated, properly earthed wall outlet,
ensure that your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated
on the rating label. Also ensure that the plug is not squashed or damaged by the
back of the appliance. A squashed or damaged plug may overheat and cause a fire.
•
WARNING!
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power
supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
• Power cord: The freezer's power supply cord must not be lengthened. Secure
the cord behind the unit. Do not leave it exposed or dangling to prevent injury and
accidental disconnection from the power supply.
•
When first starting up, and after a period out of use, allow the unit to cool down
for at least 4 hours before placing food in the cabinet.
First use
• The first time you turn the unit on, select the appropriate mode (see opposite) and set
the temperature control to the coldest temperature in the range.
– If you are using the appliance as a chest freezer, let it run with the thermostat
in the most clockwise "Freezer" position for 4 hours. After this period, if the unit
has reached an acceptable temperature, it can be used normally at the desired
temperature level.
– If you are using the appliance as a refrigerator, let it run with the thermostat
in the most clockwise "Fridge" position for 4 hours. After this period, if the unit
has reached an acceptable temperature, it can be used normally at the desired
temperature level.
NOTE: The unit may not work at the set temperature on particularly hot days, or if the
lid is opened too frequently.
