- Do not install the appliance where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
- Do not install the appliance where it is exposed to warm draughts or open doors.
- Keep the ventilation grill free of obstructions.
- Adequate allowance should be made for door openings.
Ventilation
- Allow 150mm clearance between the walls, ceiling, and the appliance. This is essential for optimal performance and reliability.
Power Supply
- The appliance must not be plugged into a multiple-outlet power board.
- The appliance is supplied with a flexible power cord fitted with a 3-pin plug.

OPERATION
Start-up
- Connect the appliance to the mains power supply, and the appliance will start working without requiring further operation.
- The thermostat has been pre-set by the factory; there is no need to adjust unless requiring different internal temperature is required.
Using the controller
- For solid lid models (as per picture below), adjust the thermostat using the dial below to set the appliance’s internal temperature, moving counterclockwise to achieve a lower internal temperature.
- The green indicator (on selective models) indicates a valid power supply.
- The red indicator (on selective models) indicates an alarm condition when the internal temperature of the appliance is higher than normal.
- Depending on the situation, this can take up to 24 hours.
- The unit can have the internal temperature lowered by turning the dial clockwise.
Digital thermometer
- The digital thermometer measures and displays the internal temperature.
- To change the batteries, access the rear of the temperature display by removing two screwsfrom the base of the ventilated service panel on the left-hand side of the unit.
Storage
Start-up
- Clean the interior surface with a soft cloth and warm water before loading.
- Ensure there is free circulation of air between the products.
- Do not overstock the appliance.

- 4 hours before defrosting, activate Fast Freezing mode (refer to section 5 of this manual) to further freeze the food stock, getting them ready for temporary relocation.
- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
- Remove all frozen food and store it temporarily in another freezer or insulated container.
- Never use an electric heater, warm water, or hairdryers for defrosting.
- Locate the external drain plug, put a container with at least 1 litre capacity underneath the drain, ready to collect defrosted water. Pull
