Safety precautions
DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS - OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY
Our refrigerators are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable materials. We urge you to cooperate by disposing of the packaging properly. Contact your local dealer or the competent local organisations for the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal facilities.
Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. Packaging parts, and especially plastic bags, may represent a suffocation hazard for children.
Your old appliance must also be disposed of properly.
Important: deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect scrapped appliances. Proper disposal allows the intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain gases which may damage the environment; it is important to ensure that the refrigeration circuit pipelines are not damaged until the competent service has taken delivery of the appliance.
Before scrapping your refrigerator it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. Also, cut the power supply lead and remove it and the plug.
THIS APPLIANCE IS TAGGED UNDER EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE).
THIS DIRECTIVE CONTAINS THE REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE COLLECTION AND RECYCLING OF DECOMMISSIONED APPLIANCES THROUGHOUT THE EUROPEAN UNION.

Safety precautions
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Keep the instruction handbook in a safe place; it contains important information which must be applied when installing, using and servicing the refrigerator. The handbook must be kept so that it can be passed on to any subsequent owners of the appliance.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to comply with the following precautions:
-Do not attempt to operate a damaged appliance: in case of doubt, contact your dealer.
-The appliance must be installed and connected to the electrical mains in full compliance with the instructions provided in the handbook. The electrical connection conditions must be as specified on the nameplate, which is in the bottom left-hand corner of the body of the refrigerator. The appliance's electrical safety is only guaranteed if the household electrical system is earthed in accordance with the relevant regulations.
-Make sure that all repairs and servicing are only carried out by authorised engineers from the Smeg after-sales service. Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains in case of breakdown and maintenance, when changing light-bulbs or during cleaning. Never defrost using electrical devices or steam cleaners. Never remove frost or ice with sharp items, as this may cause irreparable damage to the walls of the refrigerator.
-Never attempt to move the refrigerator by pulling on the door or the handle.
-High-alcohol drinks must only be stored sealed and vertical. Never store liquids in cans or glass containers in the freezer compartment, especially if they contain added carbon dioxide. Never store products containing gases, flammable propellants or explosive substances in the freezer: explosion hazard!
-Do not use electrical equipment (such as ice cream makers or blenders) inside the appliance.
-To ensure the refrigerator operates correctly, never obstruct or cover the air ducts in any way.
-Never touch frozen products taken straight from the freezer or put them in your mouth. Burn hazard due to the very low temperatures.
-Never eat or drink foods which look or smell strange.
-Never allow children to play with the refrigeratorand use the drawers, shelves or other parts of the appliance only as described in this handbook; never use them for purposes other than
those for which they are designed.
In case of electricity blackout, open the door(s) as little as possible. Once partly or completely thawed, frozen foods must not be re-frozen.
Caution:
this refrigerator contains isobutane (R600a); this refrigerant gas is CFC-free but combustible. When transporting, installing, cleaning and repairing the refrigerator, take care not to damage any parts of the refrigeration circuit to prevent the risk of gas leaks. In case of damage, do not use naked lights and ventilate the room containing the appliance appropriately.
2. INTENDED USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR
The appliance is specifically constructed for domestic use and is therefore suitable for the refrigeration and storage of fresh and frozen foods and the production of ice-cubes. The appliance has not been designed or manufactured for professional use. Smeg declines all responsibility for damage deriving from improper use of the appliance. The refrigerator has undergone all necessary tests regarding tightness of the refrigeration circuit and complies with the safety regulations for electrical appliances.
Caution:
the manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the use of non-original spare parts.

Instructions for the Installer
3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
3.1 Choosing the site
Always place the refrigerator in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside), the wine cellar can be used in different temperature conditions:
Class |
Ambient temperature |
SN (Subnormal) |
from + 10° C to + 32° C |
N (Normal) |
from + 16° C to + 32° C |
ST (Subtropical) |
from + 18° C to + 38° C |
T (Tropical) |
from + 18° C to + 43° C |
Never place the refrigerator close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems.
To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the refrigerator must not be placed too close to the wall. To prevent this, the appliance comes complete with two plastic spacers which must be fitted to the top of the appliance as shown in the drawing. If the refrigerator is installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm.
Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum. If necessary, when positioning slide the refrigerator over pieces of wood or a mat to the point decided for connection to the electrical mains.
3.2 Positioning and levelling the appliance
Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface. To compensate for any unevenness in the floor, the appliance has two adjustable feet at the front (fig. 1). The appliance is also equipped with 2 wheels (fig. 2) at the back to stabilise it and make it easier to position. Take care when moving the appliance not to damage the floor (for example, when installing on a parquet floor).
3.3 Electrical connection
Before switching the refrigerator on for the first time, leave it vertical for at least two hours. Then connect the appliance's power supply lead to a mains socket with earth contact, installed in accordance with electrical safety regulations. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate inside the refrigerator compartment. The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in compliance with the relevant regulations and requirements. Check that the voltage rating on the nameplate is the same as the mains supply. If the power supply lead has to be replaced, this operation must only be carried out by an authorised Smeg technical service engineer.
The power plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

4.1 Shelves
Each refrigerator comes complete with several shelves which can be set at different heights by placing them on the runners provided. Each shelf has a safety fitting to prevent it from being pulled completely out or accidentally removed. To remove it from the appliance, lift it at the back and front and pull it out. Then change the position of the shelf or shelves as you require. For easy removal of all internal accessories, the door has to be opened completely.
4.2 Fruit and vegetable box
These containers are at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, which is fitted with a glass shelf to cover fresh foods that require constant humidity for optimum storage.
4.3 Door shelves and containers
The inside of the door is fitted with special shelves and boxes to take eggs, butter, dairy products, tubes, preserves and other small packages. The bottom of the door has a shelf to take vertical bottles. To stop bottles from falling when the door is opened and closed, they must be secured with the special retainer rod supplied.
