Frequently Asked Questions
1.
Are there any restrictions as to where I can locate my Lec essenChill freezer?
Yes, for optimum performance, it’s important that you position your freezer on a hard flat
surface in an area where the ambient temperature will not drop below +16°C or exceed
+36°C. Ensure the appliance has sufficient clearance around it to provide adequate
ventilation. We do not recommend positioning your freezer close to a heat source such as a
radiator or in direct sunlight. Avoid an unheated location such as a cellar as it may cause
excess frost build.
2.
Can I plug my essenChill freezer in straight away after unpacking?
No, we recommend that you leave the appliance to stand for 24 hours before plugging in to
allow the refrigerant to settle after transportation and delivery. You should then run the
freezer whilst it’s empty for 24 hours before filling. Also, it is essential that you have
followed the cleaning recommendations on page 4 of this manual prior to filling.

What should I do if my floor is uneven?
If the floor is uneven, adjust the front feet on your freezer (by twisting the feet right-to-left
or left-to-right) so that the unit stands firm and level.
