Positioning the freezer
The freezer must stand on a level, solid sur-
face. For the best result, check the position
of the appliance with a spirit level. When you
open the door, the freezer should not move.
You can balance out unevenness in the sur-
face with the two front adjusting feet.
1. Close the freezer door.
2. Tilt the freezer backwards slightly.
3. Screw/unscrew the screw feet as re-
quired.
4. Stand the freezer straight up once again
and check its alignment with a spirit level.
5. Repeat these steps until the freezer is
level.
Cleaning before use
To remove the odour that comes with all new
appliances, clean the appliance before using
it (see „Defrosting and cleaning the freezer“
on page EN-13).
Connecting the appliance to
electricity
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance, if
–
it shows visible signs of damage,
e.g. the power cord is defective,
–
it starts smoking or there is a smell
of burning,
–
makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, pull out the mains plug or
unscrew/isolate the fuse and contact our
service department (see page EN-22).
■
Do not connect to a timer or a sepa-
rate remote-controlled system for dis-
tance monitoring and control.
■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to fi re and property damage.
■
Only connect the appliance to a
properly installed and earthed elec-
tric socket. Do not connect to a mul-
ti-socket extension cable or a mul-
ti-socket plug.
