Westinghouse Chest freezer Installation requirements

Applies to

• Chest Freezer

Solution

Electrical

The appliance must be plugged into its own dedicated 220-240V, 50Hz AC electrical outlet.

The plug must be accessible when the freezer is in position.

It is essential that the power point is properly earthed to ground. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure.

Don’t use extension cords or adapter plugs with this freezer

Product installation

Do not move the appliance by pulling by the lid or handle

Choose a location for your freezer that isn’t too cold. The ambient room temperature should be above 10°C.

Don’t put the freezer in frosty or unprotected areas.

If the freezer is installed in unheated areas (garages etc.), in cold weather condensation may form on the outer surfaces. This is quite normal and is not a fault. Remove the condensation by wiping with a dry cloth

Stand your freezer in a dry place – avoid areas of high moisture or humidity

Keep the freezer out of direct sunlight.

Don’t locate the freezer near stoves, fires or heaters.

When installed correctly, your freezer should:

Have adequate space at the back and sides for air circulation.

Be aligned to the surrounding cupboards.

The appliance must be protected against rain, moisture and other atmospheric influences.

If possible, avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will cause the compressor to run for long periods. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances:

• From cookers 100 mm

• From radiators 300 mm

• From fridges 100 mm Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation. Ideally, a space of no less than 100mm must be left around the freezer, and ensure you allow gaps as shown in the diagram below.
