4. Using for the first time
Removing packaging
• Remove the packaging material and adhesive strips.
• Remove the foam parts in the interior.
Checking for damage
• Check the appliance for damage, especially the refriger-
ant circuit (lines on the interior 4 and on the rear of the
appliance, compressor 8) and the connection cable.
DANGER! Do not connect the appliance if it is dam-
aged.
Cleaning before first use
• Clean the appliance as described in section "Defrosting
and cleaning" on page 6.
Positioning
DANGER! Position this appliance in a room with a
capacity of at least 4.5 m
3 . In the event of a leak in
the refrigerant circuit, an inflammable mix of refriger-
ant and air may form in rooms that are too small.
• The compressor 8 and the side walls of the appliance be-
come hot during operation and require good ventilation
all around the appliance. Therefore please observe the
following minimum clearances:
- at the rear: 10 cm;
- at the sides: 10 cm.
• Position the appliance in a well-ventilated, dry room.
Place it on level, solid ground.
• This appliance complies with the climate classifications N
and ST and so is intended for an ambient temperature of
+16 °C to +38 °C.
Position the appliance in a location with a suitable ambi-
ent temperature.
• When positioning, avoid the following:
- direct sunlight,
- proximity to heat sources such as an oven or radiators.
• If the nature of your premises require it, you can reverse
the door fittings. See section "Reversing the door fittings"
on page 6.
Aligning
To ensure the flawless function of the appliance and air-tight
closure of the door seals, the appliance must be aligned
straight. For this purpose, two height-adjustable feet 6 are
provided at the front.
1. Have a second person raise the freezer slightly at the
front.
2. Increasing the height of the foot: Turn the foot clock-
wise. Please note that the feet can also be unscrewed
completely.
Decreasing the height of the foot: Turn the foot anti-
clockwise.
Connecting
DANGER! Do not connect the appliance until it is lo-
cated in its final position and has been aligned
straight.
WARNING! After moving the appliance, allow it to stand for at
least 24 hours so that the refrigerant circuit can settle.
DANGER! Connect the appliance to a wall socket
with protective contacts, where the technical data
match those of the appliance (see rating plate 7).
• Do not use any extension cables or multiple sockets.
• The wall socket must also be easily accessible after con-
nection. If this is not possible on your premises, it must
always be possible to disconnect the appliance from the
mains, for instance with the fuse.
5. Operation
• The temperature control-
ler 1 is used to switch the
appliance on and off and
to control the temperature.
• The operating chip 10 is
provided to make it easier
to operate the tempera-
ture controller 1.
Switching on and off
• To switch on, turn the temperature controller 1 clockwise
beyond the slight resistance to the desired temperature
setting.
• To switch off, turn the temperature controller 1 anti-clock-
wise beyond the slight resistance to OFF.
Selecting the temperature
• To monitor the temperature, you require a freezing ther-
mometer. The normal operating temperature for the
freezer is -18 °C.
• The temperature setting that you require depends on var-
ious factors, such as the ambient temperature.
• When using the appliance for the first time and after de-
frosting, set the temperature controller 1 to SUPER, until
a temperature of -18 °C (or colder) is reached.
• For normal operation, select an infinitely variable setting
between the temperature levels
1 and 4 . Temperature
level
1
represents the hottest temperature and tempera-
ture level
4
is the coldest.
• In most cases, temperature level 2 corresponds to the
normal operating temperature of -18 °C.
• After setting, monitor the temperature for several hours
with a freezing thermometer. Repeat this check from time
to time and change this setting, if necessary.
• Select SUPER 24 hours before and while freezing rela-
tively large quantities of fresh food. Return the setting to
your customary operating temperature 24 hours after
storing the fresh food.
