Power Interruption

In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 18 hours. Follow these tips during a prolonged power interruption, especially in summer:

• Open the door as few times as possible.
• Do not put additional food into the freezer during a power interruption.
• If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer than 15 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the freezer compartment.
• As the temperature in the freezer will rise during a power interruption or other failure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that defrosts should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent health risks.

Notice: Memory function during power interruption After restoration of power the appliance continues with the settings that were set before the power failure.

Installation

Unpacking

• Take the appliance out of the packaging.
• Remove all packaging materials.

Environmental conditions
The room temperature should always be between 18 °C and 43 °C, since it can influence the temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption. Do not install the appliance near other heat-emitting appliances (ovens, refrigerators) without isolation.

Space requirements
Required space to open the door (Fig. 10.3):

Ventilaton cross-section
To achieve sufficient ventilation of the appliance for safety reasons, the information of the required ventilation cross sections must be observed (Fig. 10.4).

Aligning the appliance
The appliance should be placed on a flat and solid surface. If the appliance is placed on a pedestal, strong and fire-resistant materials must be used. Never use the foam packing material as a pedestal.

1. Tilt the appliance slightly backward (Fig. 10.5).
2. Set the feet to the desired level.
3.  The stability can be checked by alternately bumping on the diagonals. The slight swaying should be the same in both directions. Otherwise, the frame can warp; possible leaking door seals are the result. A low tendency to the rear eases the closing of the door.

Using adjustable feet
If the freezer is unstable, the feet can be adjusted: Rotate the adjustable feet according to the direction of the arrow (Fig. 10.6) to turn them up or down:

• Turning the feet clockwise raises the appliance.
• Turning the feet counterclockwise lowers it.

Waiting time
To the maintenance-free lubrication oil is located in the capsule of the compressor. This oil can get through the closed pipe system during slanting transport. Before connecting the appliance to the power supply you have to wait 6 hours (Fig. 10.7) so that the oil runs back into the capsule.

Electrical connection
Before each connection check if:

• power supply, socket and fusing are appropriate to the rating plate.
• the power socket is earthed and no multi-plug or extension.
• the power plug and socket are strictly according. Connect the plug to a properly installed household socket.

LED Lamp parameters and replacement

LED Lamp parameter: DC 12V, 1.5W The is an LED lamp, which has low energy consumption and long service life. If there is any abnormity, please do not disassemble by yourself. Please contact the after-sales staff for door-to-door service.

Door Reversibility
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply you should check, whether the door swing must be changed from left (a s d delivered) to right, if this is required by the installation location and the usability.
