[. . . ] If there is a leak and the room is too small, a flammable gas-air mixture may form. The volume of refrigerant in your appliance is listed on the rating plate inside the appliance. If the mains connection cable for this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the after-sales department or a similarly qualified person. Incorrect installations and repairs may put the user at considerable risk. [. . . ] 23 en Connecting the appliance After setting up the appliance, wait for at least 1 hour before starting the appliance up. The oil contained in the compressor may have been displaced into the refrigeration system during transport. Before starting the appliance up for the first time, clean its interior (see section "Cleaning the appliance"). Sinusoidal-commutated and line-commutated inverters can be used with our appliances. Line-commutated inverters are used with photovoltaic systems that are connected directly to the national grid. Sinusoidal-communicated inverters must be used with standalone applications (e. On ships or mountain huts) that do not have a direct connection to the national grid. Electrical connection The socket must be near to the appliance and easily accessible after the appliance has been installed. Connect the appliance to a 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating current supply using a socket with protective earthing conductor which has been correctly installed. In the case of appliances operated outside of Europe, check whether the voltage and type of current specified conform to the values of your electricity grid. 24 en Getting to know the appliance Control panel Figure " 1 "eco" setting If the appliance is only partially filled (on appliances with a separating wall, maximum fill level is up to the "e" marking on the separating wall), this setting can be selected in order to save energy. The temperature in the commercial chest freezer must be -18 °C or colder. As far as possible, frozen food must be transported in an insulated container and quickly placed in the freezer compartment. N When arranging the food, note the following: It is preferable to freeze larger quantities of food on the appliance floor because they will become frozen more quickly and gently there. Food that is already frozen must not come into contact with the food that is to be freshly frozen. N The following are suitable for freezing: Baked goods, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without their shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and curd cheese, prepared dishes and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, baked casseroles and sweet foods.

The following are suitable as packaging: Plastic film, polyethylene hose film, aluminium foil, freezer bags. The following are not suitable as packaging: Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, rubbish bags and used shopping bags. Switching the appliance off and putting it out of operation Switch off the appliance n Features of the appliance Pre-freezing compartment Figure !/11 (not on all models) In the pre-freezing compartment, fresh food freezes particularly quickly and gently. [. . . ] If the appliance is only partially filled with food (not higher than the "e" marking on the separating wall if the appliance comes with a separating wall), use the "eco" energy-saving setting. Before cleaning the appliance, unplug the mains plug or disconnect the fuse. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and a little pH-neutral detergent. Only wipe the door seal with clean water and then rub it until it is dry. [. . . ]
