• Move the freezer using a trolley or with
the help of a second person.
• There are two wheels situated beneath
and to the back of the freezer, which can
be used to roll the freezer a short dis-
tance. Slightly tilt the freezer backwards
(no more than 20°) and carefully roll it on
its wheels to its designated location.
• Unpack the appliance and carefully re-
move all packaging, plastic moulding,
adhesive strips, protective film and foam
padding from the inside, outside and back
of the appliance.

CAUTION
Dangers from the refrigerant!
■
Do not damage the refrigeration cir-
cuit, for example by piercing the re-
frigerant channels of the condensate
vaporiser with sharp objects, cutting
off the tubing, etc.
■
Refrigerant is fl ammable when spurt-
ing out and can damage the eyes. In
this case, rinse your eyes in clean wa-
ter and seek medical assistance im-
mediately.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■
Make sure that the specifi ed ambient
temperature is maintained (see “In-
tended use“ on page EN-5).
To prevent a flammable gas-air mixture from
forming following a leak in the refrigeration
circuit, the installation space must have a
minimum size of 1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant
in compliance with standard EN 378. That
equates to a minimum space of 8 m³ for this
appliance.
Suitable locations are dry, well-ventilated ar-
eas that are cool if possible.
Unsuitable locations are ones with direct sun-
light or which are directly next to an oven, hob
or radiator.
The following minimum distances must be
maintained from:
– electrical hobs
10 cm
– oil and coal burning stoves
30 cm
– other cooling appliances
10 cm
– washing machines/dishwashers
10 cm
If you would like to reduce these distances,
you can fit an insulation plate between the
appliances.
If underfloor heating is installed at the set-up
location, place the appliance on an insulation
plate made from solid material.
Setting up and aligning the
appliance
1. Place the appliance on as flat and as firm
a base as possible.
2. To ensure adequate air circulation,
– keep an area of at least 30 cm above the
appliance free.
– maintain a distance of at least 10 cm
between the appliance’s rear side and
the wall.
– maintain a minimum spacing of 7.5 cm
on the sides.
3. Check the position with a spirit level.
