Haier BD-318A User Manual

Directions for use 
In the following, you will find all the important 
information for the use of your appliance. 
The instructions for use apply to several models, which 
is why details of the information  may differ according to 
the  type of the appliance. 

Strictly avoid high ambient temperatures and direct 
sunlight. We advise you to place your appliance in a 
cool, well aired, dry room. Installation in the immediate 
vicinity of a heat source (heating, oven etc.) is highly 
inappropriate (increased compressor performance 
would be necessary and, as a result, power 
consumption would be considerably higher). 

If the installation near a heat source cannot be avoided, 
a suitable insulation plate must be fitted between the 
appliance and the heat source (do not use asbestos), or 
the following minimum distances must be observed: 

„ from gas or electric cooker 

 

„ from radiator or oven          

 

„ from a wall, piece of furniture or  

 

another appliance       

 

Never obstruct the ventilation grille 
Larger chest freezers are equipped with a ventilation 
grille (F) located below on one side. These appliances 
can be placed directly against a wall or a piece of 
furniture but not with the side protected with the 
ventilation grille.  

Freezers without ventilation grille  
Leave sufficient space between the rear of the 
appliance and the wall to ensure that outward flow of 
warm air is able to escape.  

The appliance must be placed horizontally and on a 
levelled base. Only this way can an  impeded circuit of 
the refrigerant and optimum function be ensured.

IMPORTANT! 
Leave the appliance stand in  the final position for 
at least 2 hours before switching it on, so that the 
refrigerant circuit stabilises and no operating 
problems occur.  

The odour which is typical of all new appliances is easy 
to remove.  
Thoroughly clean the interior compartment with a 
mixture of lukewarm water and vinegar.

Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the 
inner area – especially the corners – is absolutely dry. 

Danger warning 
Depending on its composition, the refrigerant is easily 
inflammable. The refrigerant circuit is hermetically 
sealed and the density  has been subject to repeated 
tests.
An improper intervention can cause acute fire hazard.  

Instruction for use 

Omit any mechanical influence on the  cooling system, 
especially on the following accessible parts in the 
compressor chamber (L):

„ Rear wall condenser or skin condenser (R) 

„ Compressor (P) (motor)

„ Capillary tube (Q) 

„ Drying filter (N) 

Interventions on the cooling system must be carried out 
by professional and authorised personnel only. 

IMPORTANT! 
Escaping refrigerant can injure your eyes. 
In the event of eye contact with the refrigerant, wash 
your eyes instantly under plenty of running water and 
call/consult an eye specialist immediately.  

The rating plate (with technical data) is located on the
housing (D) at the rear of the appliance. 

Take a note of the technical data 
Copy the technical data from the rating plate to here so
that it is at any time readily available, without having to
move the appliance

Your appliance must be connected to a power socked 
with grounded connection, which is conform to the 
respective standards and has been installed by an 
authorised specialist. 
Before you connect the plug of the appliance with the 
power socket, make absolutely sure that 
the voltage (V) on the appliance’s data-plate 
corresponds with that of your mains. 
If the voltage differs, notify the after-sales-service or 
your dealer immediately, and do not on any account 
connect the appliance to the mains. 

temperature selection 
(Thermostat) (FIG.4) 

To prevent temperature being accidentally modified, the 
control is intentionally resistant to turning. To vary the 
setting, we recommend to use a coin or screwdriver. 

To switch on: Turn the control to the right 
adjust temperature to the level you require, between: 

-

Min. (slight cooling) and 

-

max. (lowest temperature)
