Lec CU 357, Operating Instructions Manual

4

The freezer contains the environment-friendly, non-ozone-depleting refrigerant 

R600a. As R600 is a flammable gas, it is important to avoid damage to the refriger

-

ating circuit during transport and installation. If the refrigeration circuit is damaged, 

avoid using a naked flame in the vicinity of the freezer and connecting power to 

the cabinet. Also make sure that there is good ventilation in the room. If you are in 

doubt, please con¬tact your supplier.

Transporting and moving the freezer

The freezer must always be moved in the vertical position. The freezer must not be 

tilted more than approx. 40°. If the freezer has been tilted more than 40°, the power 

supply must not be con¬nected until the appliance has stood upright for at least two 

hours.

If the freezer is to remain unused for a time

If the freezer is to remain unused for a period of time, e.g. during refurbishment 

work,  switch it off by pressing the switch    

O

    (1) and disconnecting the power 

supply to the cabinet and possibly pulling the plug out of the wall socket.

Empty, defrost and clean the freezer. Leave the freezer door slightly ajar. This will 

prevent bad smells in the cabinet.
