  Refrigerant
  The refrigerant isobutene (R600a) is natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility that is contained within the appliance’s refrigerant circuit. It is nevertheless flammable. Ensure that none of the refrigerant circuit’s components are damaged during the transportation and installation of the appliance. The refrigerant (R600a) is flammable.
  WARNING — Chest freezers contain refrigerant and gases in the insulation. Refrigerants and gases must be disposed of professionally as they may cause eye injuries or ignite. Ensure that the refrigerant circuit’s tubing is not damaged prior to proper disposal.

Warning: risk of fire/ flammable materials
If the refrigerant circuit is damaged:
– Avoid naked flames and sources of ignition.
– Thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in any way.
Any damage to the cord may cause a short circuit, fire, and/or electric shock.

Electrical safety

1. The power cord must not be lengthened.
2. Make sure that the power plug is not crushed or damaged. A crushed or damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.
3. Make sure that you can access the appliance’s mains plug.

DEFROSTING/FIRST USE AND INSTALLATION

The chest freezer compartment should be defrosted two or three times a year when the ice is about 4 mm thick. To defrost, follow these steps:

• Set the thermostat to ”Colder” for at least 12 hours before defrosting.
• After this period has elapsed, switch off the chest freezer compartment by removing the plug from the main power supply.
• Remove all food from the chest freezer, wrap it in paper and store it in a cold place and leave the door open.

Cleaning before use
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important!
Good ventilation around the chest freezer is necessary to allow heat to dissipate, and for high efficiency and low power consumption. Sufficient clear space should therefore be
available around the chest freezer. It is advisable for there to be a 75mm gap between the back of the chest freezer and the wall and at least 100mm of space on the two sides, a
height of over 100mm from the top.

Appliances must not be exposed to rain. Sufficient air must be allowed to circulate in the lower rear section of the appliance as poor air circulation can affect performance. Built-in appliances should be positioned away from heat sources such as heaters and direct sunlight. We recommend that the freezer is installed on a flat, robust, and durable surface. It is recommended that the unit is placed on a moisture-resistant surface.

Leveling
The appliance should be level in order to eliminate vibration. To make the appliance level, it should be upright with both adjusters in stable contact with the floor. You can also adjust the level by unscrewing the appropriate level adjustment in the front (use your fingers or a suitable spanner).
