Warning and Safety information
Energy efficiency
•
The most efficient use of energy is ensured in
the default configuration of the baskets.
•
Keep the air space in the appliance to a
minimum to reduce running costs. Packaged
bread is an ideal space filler.
•
Do not open the door too frequently or leave
open longer than necessary.
•
Ensure the time period between buying the
chilled/frozen food is kept to a minimum,
particularly in the summer. We recommend
you use a cool bag or special frozen food
carrier.
•
Defrost frozen food in a fridge to assist
cooling.
Transport instructions
•
The appliance should be transported only in
a vertical upright position.
• If during the course of transport the
appliance has to be transported horizontally,
it must only be laid on its left hand side
(when standing in front of the appliance).
After bringing it to upright position, it must not
be operated for at least
4 hours
to allow the
cooling system to settle.
• Failure to comply with the above instructions
could result in damage occurring to the
appliance. The manufacturer will not be
held responsible if these instructions are
disregarded.

1 - Upon installation
(See supplied separate Installation Instructions)
•
Check the appliance is working correctly.
•
The freezer door may be difficult to open
straight after it has been closed. this is normal
due to the warm air / cold air exchange
causing a vacuum effect. Wait a few
moments for the pressure to equalise before
attempting to open again.
•
If there is a power failure
DO NOT
open the
door. The frozen food should not be affected
for several hours. If the power cut duration is
longer than 8 hours food should be checked
and used immediately, cooked and re-
frozen or disposed of.

other foods or surfaces.
