Place protective material between the floor and the freezer (eg. the freezer packaging)

Choosing a Location
The freezer will operate in temperatures up to +32'C.
The freezer should be placed in a dry, ventilated room and never close to a radiator or
other sources of heat, as this will increase the power consumption unnecessarily.
Please make sure that the freezer is installed on a level surface and in a position
providing adequate air circulation to the sides and rear of the freezer (minimum
clearance of 25mm, 1" each side) also make sure the lid can be opened fully.
If the freezer is installed on a thick pile carpet it should be elevated to ensure free air
circulation underneath.
The freezer should not be positioned where it will be affected by draughts or dampness.
The siting of freezers in unheated outhouses or garages may. in cold weather, give rise
to condensation forming on the outer surface of the freezer. This is no way due to
faulty operation of the freezer and will disappear with wanner weather.
Remove condensation with a clean, dry cloth.
It is recommended that you clean both the Inside and the outside of the freezer before
using it for the first time. Use lukewarm water and a little bicarbonate of soda;
1 teaspoon to 1.2 litres of water.
