∙ 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 fl oors, the adjustable front feet on the
unit can be used to compensate and ensure optimum stability.
Set-up dimensions
If the cabinet freezer is installed with its side against a
wall, ensure a minimum clearance of 60 mm with the wall;
this is to ensure that the freezer door can open suffi ciently
wide to slide out the drawers.
Temperature control
∙ The unit is re-activated by connecting it to the mains. It
is only switched off completely when the plug is removed
from the wall socket. In position '0', the cooling function is
switched off, though the appliance is still connected to the
mains.
∙ The temperature in the refrigerator cabinet can be adjusted
by setting the temperature control. Turning the control
clockwise will decrease the temperature, while turning it anti-
clockwise will increase it.
∙ The medium settings are usually most suitable for home
use.
∙ We recommend using a thermometer to check the actual
temperature inside the cabinet and make adjustments as
necessary.
∙ Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been
switched off on purpose, it may take around 5 minutes
before it switches on again.
Indicator lights

permanently on.
This light comes on if the internal temperature rises above
9 °C.
