Installation
∙ The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry
room.
∙ It should be operated in conditions where the relative
humidity is no more than 70 %.
∙ The product data sheet at the end of this manual
contains details of the ambient temperature range
suitable for this appliance.
∙ Do not use the appliance outdoors.
∙ Ensure that the plug is accessible and can be removed
from the wall socket at any time.
∙ Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight, and
do not position it next to any heat sources (radiators,
cookers etc.). If this cannot be avoided, however,
suitable insulation must be in installed between the heat
source and the unit.
∙ The unit must not be installed inside a cabinet, nor
directly below a hanging cupboard, shelf or similar
object.
∙ In the case of uneven oors, the adjustable feet on the
unit can be used to compensate and ensure optimum
stability.
Ventilation
Ensure that there is enough space around the unit so that
the air circulation round and behind it is not obstructed.
(Rear 7.5 cm, sides 5 cm, top 10 cm.)
Reversible door
If required, the door may be reversed, i.e. from right-hinged
(default installation) to left-hinged.
Warning: Always disconnect the unit from the mains
before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
1. Remove the upper hinge blind cover.
2. Use a suitable socket spanner to remove the three
screws holding the upper hinge to the housing, and
then lift off the hinge.
3. Carefully lift up the door and place it on a soft surface
to protect it from scratches.
4. Remove the three blind covers for the hinge mounting
holes on the opposite side and t them in the
corresponding place on the other side. Ensure that the
cover are rmly pushed down into the holes.
5. Remove the adjustable feet.
6. Remove the two screws on the lower hinge plate and
take the plate off.
7. Remove the hinge-pin from the hinge plate, turn the
plate through 180° and put back the hinge-pin.
8. Install the hinge plate with the hinge pin facing up
on the other side. Caution: Do not yet tighten the
screws.
9. Replace and tighten the adjustable feet.
10. Replace the door in its new position. Ensure that the
hinge pin is inserted into the guide bushing (hole) on
the lower part of the door.
11. Install the upper hinge on the closed door. Ensure that
the hinge pin is inserted into the guide bushing (hole)
on the upper part of the door. Caution: Do not yet
tighten the screws.
12. Adjust the closed door to its proper position and
tighten the screws of the upper and lower hinge plates.
13. Replace the hinge cover on the upper hinge.
14. Put the unit back in its intended position and wait for
about four hours before connecting it to the mains.
Temperature control
The unit is activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only
switched off completely when the plug is removed from the
wall socket.
The temperature in the cabinet can be adjusted by setting
the temperature control located at the rear.
Temperature settings from 1 – 5 are available.
Turning the control clockwise will decrease the
temperature, while turning it anti-clockwise will increase it.
We recommend setting the control initially to position 3.
After a certain time, the actual temperature should then
be checked with a thermometer, and adjustments made if
necessary.
Note: The operating temperature in the freezer largely
depends on factors such as the ambient temperature and
that of the food to be newly frozen. It also depends on how
often the door is opened and how long it remains open. If
necessary, the temperature control setting may be adjusted
accordingly.
Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been
switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before
it switches on again.
Freezer door
To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the
freezer door should be kept closed at all times. This will
also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost. Ensure,
therefore, that the door is only opened briey to place food
inside or to remove it.
Freezing and storing food
∙ The temperature inside freezer cabinet depends mainly
on the ambient temperature, the temperature control
setting and the amount of food stored.
∙ This freezer unit is designed for deep-freezing and long-
term storage of deep-frozen food, as well as for making
ice-cubes.
∙ Prior to freezing, fresh food (e.g. meat, sh, minced
meat) should be divided into smaller portions suitable for
use after defrosting).
∙ To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are
not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through
as quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared
food should be placed into the freezer compartments,
properly spaced in one or two rows.
∙ Avoid contact with food that has already been frozen.
