INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

SELECTING THE ROOM

• Install the appliance in a dry and well ventilated room. The appliance will operate

correctly if the environment temperature is in the interval speciﬁ ed in the table. The

appliance class is indicated on the rating plate / label with the basic information on

the appliance.

Class Temperature Relative Humidity

SN (subnormal) from +10 °C to +32 °C

75%

N (normal) from +16 °C to +32 °C

ST (subtropical) from +16 °C to +38 °C

T (tropical) from +16 °C to +43 °C

• After installation, the appliance plug has to be readily accessible.

• Do not place the appliance near other appliances or devices that radiate heat,

such as a cooker, a stove, a radiator, water heater etc., and do not expose it

to direct sunlight. The appliance should stand at least 3 cm away from an

electric or gas cooker or at least 30 cm away from an oil or solid fuel stove. If

the distance between such source of heat and the appliance is smaller, use an

insulating panel.

• A humid basement or cellar, balcony, or any place where the chest could be

exposed to direct sunlight, are not suitable locations for installing the freezer

chest. The freezer chest must be placed on dry and su ciently solid surface

which allows it to stand stably and horizontally even when fully loaded.

• The appliance should not be integrated in a cupboard or other furniture. Allow

at least 2–3 centimetres of clearance around the chest for free circulation of air.

• Clearance from the wall on the back (behind the freezer chest) is determined

by the hinge.

• The appliance is ﬁ tted with a condenser unit which radiates heat into the

environment. The condenser unit is installed directly underneath the sheet

metal layer on the back and front wall of the appliance. For correct operation,

allow su cient cooling of these surfaces; do not block them or line them with

any objects.

The freezer chest is mounted on casters that cannot be blocked. Therefore,

it is very important that it stand on level floor, as it could otherwise slide

away or move around, which in turn could result in damage.

This appliance functions at temperatures down to –15 °C, if you carefully

observe the instructions below.
