Installing Your Freezer  
This appliance is designed to be free  
standing only, and should not be recessed or  
built-in.  
4
Place your freezer on a floor that is strong  
enough to support the freezer when it is fully  
loaded.  
Allow 15 cm of space between the back and  
sides of the freezer, which allows the proper  
air circulation.

5
Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight  
and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,  
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic  
coating and heat sources may increase  
electrical consumption. Extreme cold  
ambient temperatures may also cause the  
freezer not to perform properly.  
Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.  
Plug the freezer into an exclusive, properly  
installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under  
any circumstances cut or remove the third  
(ground) prong from the power cord. Any  
questions concerning power and/or  
grounding should be directed toward a  
certified electrician or an authorized service  
center.

PROBLEMS WITH YOUR FREEZER  
Declaration of conformity  
Cleaning Your Freezer  
Moving Your Freezer  
For household refrigerating appliances, in  
normal temperature conditions, please  
arrange the thermostat at the middle setting.  
This appliance is designed to store food  
and is manufactured in conformity with  
European Directive 90/128/EEC,  
Upon installation of your new appliance, it is  
recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.  
Turn the temperature control to "OFF",  
unplug the freezer, remove the food and  
storage basket.  
Remove all the food.  
Securely tape down all loose items inside  
your freezer.  
02/72/EEC and Regulation(EC)No.1935/2004  
Remove the rollers to prevent damage.  
Tape the doors shut.  
Before loading the appliance with packages  
of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to  
ambient temperature.  
Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth  
containing a water and baking soda solution.  
The solution should be about 2 tablespoons  
of baking soda to a quart of water.  
Wash the storage basket with a mild  
detergent solution.  
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean  
to keep the unit running efficiently.  
The outside of the freezer should be cleaned  
with mild detergent and warm water.  
Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.  
The condenser coils should be vacuumed  
when they are dusty or dirty.  
It is recommended that the unit be cleaned  
each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit  
odor free and running efficiently.  
Be sure the freezer stays in the upright  
position during transportation.  
Ice and frost layer increase energy  
consumption, so do clean the appliance as  
soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.  
Energy Saving Tips  
This appliance is designed,manufactured,  
and retailed in compliance with:  
- the safety objectives of the Low Voltage  
Directive 2006/95/CE(that substitutes  
Directive 72/73/CEE and successive  
amendments);  
- the protection requirements of the’EMC’  
Directive 89/336/EEC amended by Directive  
93/68/EEC  
The electrical safety of the appliance can  
only be guaranteed if the product is connected  
to an approved earth connection.  
The freezer should be located in the coolest  
area of the room, away from heat producing  
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the  
direct sunlight.  
If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall  
should be always clean, free of dust or any  
impurities.  
Let hot foods cool to room temperature  
before placing in the freezer. Overloading  
the freezer forces the compressor to run  
longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may  
lose quality, or spoil.  
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe  
containers dry before placing them in the  
freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up  
inside the freezer.  
Always consider instructions stated in  
sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips,  
otherwise the energy consumption is  
substantially higher.  
Vacation Time  
Remove all the food.  
Freezer storage bin should not be lined with  
aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.  
Liners interfere with cold air circulation,  
making the freezer less efficient.  
Organize and label food to reduce door  
openings and extended searches. Remove  
as many items as needed at one time, and  
close the door as soon as possible.  
You can solve many common freezer  
problems easily, saving you the cost of a  
possible service call. Try the suggestions  
below to see if you can solve the problem  
before calling the servicer .  
Unplug the freezer.  
Clean the freezer.  
Leave the door open slightly to avoid  
possible formation of condensation, mold, or  
odors.  
Use extreme caution in the case of children.  
The unit should not be accessible to child's  
play.  
Short vacations: Leave the freezer operating  
during vacations of less than three weeks.  
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be  
used for several months, remove all food and  
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the  
interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold  
growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking  
it open if necessary or have the door  
removed.  
Try not to open the door too often, especially  
when the weather is wet and hot. Once you  
open the door, mind to close it as soon as  
possible.  
Every now and then check if the appliance is  
sufficiently ventilated (adequate air  
circulation behind the appliance).
