Moving and unpacking
1. Tape the castors under the chest freezer

Choosing a suitable location
Safety
For safety reasons, the room in which it is
installed must have a minimum size of 9 m
3
.
Airflow
To ensure adequate air circulation,
– the chest freezer should not stand directly
against the wall. Leave at least 15 cm from
the wall, cabinets and other appliances.
– the ventilation grilles must remain clear
and must not be covered.
– the entire area above the chest freezer
must be unobstructed.
Cooling capacity
To achieve the highest possible cooling per-
formance with the least energy consumption,
choose a location that:
– is not too warm, is dry and well ventilated.
– is not in direct sunlight.
It is recommended not to place it next to an
oven, stove or radiator.
If underfloor heating is installed in the room
where the chest freezer is to be installed,
place an insulating plate of solid material un-
der the chest freezer.
About climate categories
• Always ensure the prescribed ambient
temperature is maintained (see chapter
"Intended use" on page EN-4).
Climate category means that the appliance
is intended for operation at the specified am-
bient temperature (see table ‘climate catego-
ries’). If the room temperature drops signifi-
cantly below this, the unit will not switch on
as often. This indicates that an unwelcome
increase in temperature may occur.
