ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room
far away from any heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly
to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space
on both sides and above the appliance. The
distance between the rear of the appliance and
the wall behind the appliance should be 50mm. A
reduction of this space will increase the Energy
consumption of product.
• Insufficient ventilation on back of the product
increases energy consumption and decreases
cooling efficiency.
• The internal temperatures of the appliance may
be affected by the ambient temperature,
frequency of door opening, as well as location of
the appliance. Temperature setting should take
into consideration these factors.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
• After placing the food check if the door of
compartments closes properly, especially the
freezer door.
• Reduce to a minimum door opening.
• You can increase the storage capacity of frozen
food by removing the flap and / or basket
(according to the Product Sheet), maintaining the
same energy consumption.
• The condenser (the coil placed in the rear of the
appliance) should be cleaned regularly.
• Damaged or leaky gasket must be replaced as
soon as possible.
INSTALLATION
• Install the freezer away from heat sources. Installation in a hot
environment, direct exposure to the sun or installation near
heat sources (heaters, radiators, cookers) will increase power
consumption and should therefore be avoided.
• If this is not possible, the following minimum distances must
be respected:
• 30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves;
• 3 cm from electric and/or gas stoves.
• Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place.
• Clean the inside (see “How to defrost and clean the freezer”).
• Fit the accessories supplied (Fig. 1 and 2).
Electrical connection
• Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local
regulations.
• Voltage and power consumption are indicated on the rating
plate inside the appliance.
• Regulations require that the
appliance is earthed.
The Manufacturer declines all liabilities for injury to persons
or animals or damage to property resulting from failure to
observe these regulations.
• If the plug and socket are not of the same type, have the
socket replaced by a qualified electrician.
• Do not use extension leads or adapters.
Disconnecting the appliance
Electrical disconnection must be possible either by unplugging
the appliance or by means of a double-pole switch located upline
from the socket.
