Important Safety Information

WARNING
SUFFOCATION HAZARD AND RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Before installing please read your Use & Care Guide carefully and pay special attention to the Safety and Warning information outlined in the following pages.
To avoid the possibility of child entrapment, please take the following precautions before throwing out the refrigerator

  • Remove the door from the unit.
  • Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
  • Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.

Before first use
Before connecting the refrigerator to an electrical power supply, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours to let the refrigerant settle in the compressor. This will reduce the possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transportation. Please wipe and clean the interior of the refrigerator thoroughly with a damp, non-abrasive cloth.

Installation

Adequate air circulation should be around the appliance to prevent overheating. Please Keep at least 4″ on both sides and 36″ at the top of the freezer for ventilation, easy access and removal of the freezer baskets.

  • The appliances must not be located close to radiators or cookers.
  • Make sure that the main plug is accessible after the installation of the appliance.

WARNING! The electrical outlet must be easily accessible after installation in the event you need to disconnect the refrigerator from the main power outlet.
Before plugging your chest freezer, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate correspond to your power supply. The appliance must be “grounded” and the power cord plug is provided with a “ground” for this purpose.
If the power supply is not “grounded”, connect the refrigerator to a separate “ground” in compliance with local and Federal regulations after consulting a certified electrician. The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed. This appliance complies with the E.E.C. Directives.

Care and Cleaning

For hygienic reasons the interior of the appliance, including accessories, should be cleaned regularly.

CAUTION! The appliance must not be connected to power while cleaning. Danger of electrical shock!

Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the outlets, or switch off or turn off the circuit break or fuse. Never clean the appliance with a steamer cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can lead to damage to plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is reconnected to a power supply.

IMPORTANT! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon or orange juice, butyric acid, a cleanser that contains acetic acid.

  • Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
  • Do not use any abrasive cleaners or brushes.
  • Remove the food from the freezer. Store them in a cooler place, well covered.
  • Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the outlets, or turn the circuit breaker or fuse.
  • Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm soapy water. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.

  • Once defrosted, food should not be re-frozen.
  • Do not exceed the recommended storage period indicated on the package or by the manufacturer.
  • Frozen food can be thawed in a refrigerator or at room temperature before use.

Defrosting the freezer
The freezer does require periodic defrosting due to frost/ice build-up based on use. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the walls of the freezer, as this will cause damage and affect the performance of the appliance.

When the ice build-up becomes thick in the freezer compartment, it is time to defrost your freezer as follows:

  1. Remove all contents from the freezer compartment.
  2. Set the thermostat dial to “0” to defrost.
  3. Unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer.
  4. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer lid open.
  5. Place a tray underneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain dial. Rotate the drain dial 180 degrees to allow the water flow out of the freezer and into the tray.

Note: Monitor the tray under the drain, emptying as required to avoid water overflowing.
When done, rotate the drain dial 180 degrees and push it back into the cabinet

  • Wipe the residual moisture out of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the electrical outlet.
  • Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
