HOW TO USE THE FREEZER
Electrical connection
This freezer is set to work at the nominal voltage indicated on the rating plate inside the pro-
duct. Voltage fluctuations should not be greater or less than 10% of the nominal voltage.
Before connecting the appliance ensure that the data to be found on the rating plate insi-
de the product is the same as the mains supply.
In the case of incompatibility between the socket and the plug of the appliance, have the
socket replaced with another suitable one by a qualified electrician, who will also verify
that the capacity of the socket wiring is adequate for the power absorbed by the applian-
ce. The use of multiple socket adapters and/or extension cables is not recommended.
The supply socket of the freezer must be properly earthed. This fundamental safety requi-
rement must be verified and, if there are any doubts, the installation should be thoroughly
checked by a professional electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by the appliance not
being earthed.
INSTALLATION
For models where the feet are not already fitted, screw these into the relative threaded
holes under the freezer. Ensure that the two front feet are not quite fully screwed home,
so that the freezer leans slightly backwards.
Where applicable, fit the appropriate spacers (Pict. 1) in order to obtain proper air circulation
between the freezer and the wall behind: it is also recommended not to block any ventilation
or heat dispersal openings or grilles, leaving a space of at least 5 cm.
Do not install the freezer close to soutces of heat. Furthermore, do not install the freezer
anywhere where the temperature will be below + 16°C or above + 32°C for long periods.
Should the cabinet be installed below a wall unit a minimum gap of a 5 cm must be left
either on the back or on the top of the unit to allow air circulation.
Incorrect installation could cause damage to people, animals or things, for which the
manufacturer declines all responsibility.
