Before use, the interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a mild soap solution and wiped off
with a dry clean cloth.

Setting up the Freezer.
The Freezer should not be placed where it might be splashed with water, in extreme high humidity or in
direct sunlight. Any of these factors may lead to a reduction in performance and shorten the life span of the
components. The Freezer should be placed on a horizontal level and should not be placed close to a
heating appliance or heating tubes. Allow a minimum of 50 mm (2”) clearance on the sides. The back of the
Freezer should have a clearance of at least 100 mm (4”) to allow the heat from the compressor motor to
di
ssipate. Underneath the appliance there should be a gap of 15 mm approx. (1⁄2”). On a soft surface, e.g.
carpet, it may be necessary to ensure the correct distance by means of spacers.
Electrical supply.
The electrical supply should always be in accordance with the rating plate on the back of the Freezer.
The supply must always be in accordance with the law and regulations regarding electrical safety, if any
doubts contact your supplier.
