Before Putting Into Use Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, leave it standing for about 2 hours, which will reduce a possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling. Clean the appliance thoroughly; especially the interior (See Cleaning and Maintenance). Instructions for Use These instructions for use are intended for the user. They describe the appliance and the correct and safe way to use it.
Important If you bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate. The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply. (See Connecting to the Power Supply). If the food has a strange smell or color throw it away because it is very likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.
Placing the Self-Standing Appliance It is important to make sure the appliance is leveled evenly to prevent falling. Two spacers attached to the appliance must be fitted onto the upper edge of the condenser, thus preventing the appliance from being installed too close to the wall. Spacers are manufactured for all-purpose functions depending on the distance of the condenser from the wall. Therefore turn spacers correspondingly and adjust them accordingly to the appliance.

Noise The cooling in the freezer is enabled by the compressor, this produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it’s used and how old the appliance is. • During the operation of the compressor, a liquid noise is heard and when the compressor is not operating a refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance. • Sometimes unusual and strong noises occur which is rather unusual for the appliance.
