This manual covers safe installation, day-to-day operation, cleaning and troubleshooting for the Borrelli Chest Freezer (Glass Top). Please read it before operating the unit.
These precautions ensure safe, correct use of the freezer and minimise the risk of injury or damage.
Flammable refrigerant This product contains R134A / R290 flammable gas. Misuse could result in fire or serious injury. If you find a gas leak, turn off the unit and ventilate the area, then call your nearest repair agent or Borrelli.
Keep all ventilation vents clear while the unit is operating.
Do not use mechanical devices to accelerate defrosting unless recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
The LED lights must be replaced by a qualified person — contact the customer helpline.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartment.
Do not damage, modify or excessively bend the power cord; if damaged, a qualified technician must replace it.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with flammable propellant in this appliance.
Dispose of the unit only at an authorised waste centre; do not expose it to a flame.
Disconnect the unit from power before cleaning, maintenance or replacing parts.
All repairs, disassembly or modification must be performed by a qualified technician.
Use a dedicated wall outlet; do not use flammable sprays or substances near the unit.
The expected noise level of the unit is 55 dB.
Do not insert anything (fingers, sticks, etc.) into the cold air suction outlet.
Never place heavy objects or items containing water on top of the unit.
After switching off, wait 5 minutes before restarting — restarting too soon can blow a fuse, trip the breaker or overload the compressor.
Shelf load limit Maximum shelf load is 25 kg. Do not exceed the limit or throw items onto the shelves.
02Installation
Before use
Remove all packaging and leave the door open to ventilate.
Clean the unit before use.
Run the unit empty for an hour before loading stock.
Placement and clearances
Indoor use only; keep out of direct sunlight, rain and weather.
Install on a flat, stable, level surface strong enough to support the freezer when loaded.
Allow at least 100 mm around the cabinet for airflow.
Do not install where the ambient temperature exceeds the climate class of the unit.
03Cleaning and Maintenance
Exterior and interior
For dust, wipe inside and out with a dry cloth.
For a deeper clean, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
Clean the unit regularly.
Never use polishing powder, soap powder, benzine, oil or hot water — these damage the paint and plastic.
After cleaning, check the power cord for cracks or damage. If you find any, contact Borrelli.
Condenser maintenance
Every few months
The condenser is located behind an access cover at the rear of the fridge. Switch off and unplug the unit before carefully removing the cover, then clear dust and debris from the condenser with a soft brush.
Clean it every few months, or more often in dusty or high-use environments. Refit the access cover securely when finished.
04How to Use
The freezer is operated using the temperature control on the front of the unit.
Setting the temperature
We recommend a freezing temperature of around −18 °C.
Locate the temperature control on the front of the unit.
Set it to your desired freezing temperature.
Allow the freezer to run for a few hours to reach temperature before loading stock.
Manual defrost
Defrost the freezer whenever ice builds up on the interior walls.
Switch off and unplug the freezer.
Remove all stock to alternative frozen storage.
Leave the lid open and allow the ice to melt.
Drain the melt water using the drain plug at the base.
Dry the interior, then switch the freezer back on and let it return to temperature before reloading.
05Tips and Tricks
Follow these tips to get the best performance, efficiency and lifespan from the freezer.
Baskets
Distribute stock evenly across the baskets.
Do not fill above the load line inside the cabinet.
Defrosting
Defrost the freezer when ice builds up (see How to Use).
Never use sharp tools to remove ice – this can damage the interior.
Transportation
Always keep the freezer upright.
After moving, let it stand a few hours before switching on.
Keep the lid closed Keep the lid closed as much as possible to hold temperature and reduce ice build-up.
Condensation on the exterior in humid conditions is normal. Wipe it away with a damp cloth — this is not a defect.
