Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
for refrigerating appliances with climate class:
- extended temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient
temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C; (SN)
- temperate: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C;(N)
- subtropical: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C;(ST)
- tropical: this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 16 °C to 43°C;(T)
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators,
boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the

Warning! It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the
mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easy accessible after
installation.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate
correspond to your domestic power supply. The appliance must
be earthed. The power
supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. If the domestic power supply
socket is not earthed connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance with current
regulations consulting a qualified electrician.

Helpful hints and tips
To help you make the most of the freezing process here are some important hints;
• the ma ximum q uantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating pla te;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
• only freeze top q uality fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuf fs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible subsequently
to thaw only the q uantity req uired;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen thus avoiding a
risein temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment can possibly
cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you removal
from the freezer compartment can possibly cause the skin to be freezeburnt;
• it is advisable to show the fr eezing in date on each indivi d ual pack to enable you to keep
tab of the storage time.
