Installation warnings

Before using your freezer for the first time, please pay attention to the following points:
Always install an appropriate flood protection under the device!
The operating voltage for your freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
The plug must be accessible after installation.
Your freezer may have an odour when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the odour will fade when your freezer starts to cool.
Before connecting your freezer, ensure that the information on the data plate (voltage and connected load) matches that of the mains electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient ground connection. If the socket has no ground contact or the plug does not match, we recommend you consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. The power supply (AC) and voltage at the operating point must match with the details on the name plate of the appliance (the name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).
We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
Place your freezer where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
Your freezer must never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
Your appliance must be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
If your freezer is placed next to a deep freezer, there must be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
