Before connecting the appliance to the power mains,
please read carefully the instructions for use which
describe the appliance and its correct and safe use.
The instructions apply to several appliance types/
models; thus, settings or equipment may be described
herein which is not available in your appliance. We
recommend saving this instruction manual for future
reference and attach it to the appliance if it is sold in
the future.
The instruction manual includes the NO FROST
version/model of the freezer which is fitted with a fan
and in which the defrosting process is automatic (only
with some models).
Check for any damage or irregularities on your
appliance. If you find your appliance is damaged,
notify the retailer from which you have purchased the
appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to the power mains,
let the appliance rest in a vertical position for a
minimum of 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of
operation faults due to the effect of transport on the
cooling system.
