After unpacking, make sure that the appliance

is undamaged and that the door closes perfectly tight. Any damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of the appliance. Wait at least two hours before switching the

appliance on in order to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient. Installation of the appliance and electrical

connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and local safety regulations Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

1.Packing

The packaging material is 100% recyclable and carries the recycling symbol. Follow local regulations for scrapping. Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.

2.Scrapping

The appliance is manufactured using recyclable material. This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By making sure this appliance is disposed of correctly, the user will help prevent potentially negative consequences for the environment and the health of persons.

The symbol on the appliance, or on the accompanying documents, indicates tha t this appliance should not be treated as domestic waste but must be taken to a suitable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Before scrapping, make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power cable and removing the doors and shelves so that children cannot easily climb inside the appliance. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. Deliver the appliance immediately to an authorized dump; do not leave it unattended even for a few days, since it is potentially dangerous for children. For more information regarding the treatment, recovery and recycling of this appliance, contact your local office, the domestic waste collection service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Information:

This appliance does not contain CFC. The refrigerant circuit contains R134a (HFC) or R600a (HC); see the rating plate inside the appliance. Appliances with Isobutane (R600a): isobutane is a naturally occurring, low environmental impact gas. Caution is required, however, because isobutane is flammable. Therefore, ensure that the pipelines of the refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

During installation, make sure the appliance

•

does not damage the power cable. Make sure the appliance is not near a heat

•

source. To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a

•

space on both sides and above the appliance and follow the installation instructions. Keep the appliance ventilation openings free.

•

Power cable modification or replacement

•

must only be carried out by qualified personnel. It must be possible to disconnect the

•

appliance from the power supply by unplugging it or by means of a mains two-pole switch installed upstream of the socket. Make sure the voltage indicated on the

•

appliance rating plate corresponds to that of your home. For the water connection, use the pipe

•

supplied with the new appliance; do not reuse that of the previous appliance. Install and level the appliance on a floor strong

•

enough to take its weight and in a place suitable for its size and use.

The appliance must be handled and installed

•

by two or more persons. Be careful not to damage the floors when

•

moving the appliance (e.g. parquet). Do not use single/multi-adapters or extension

•

cords. Install the appliance in a dry and well-

•

ventilated place. The appliance is arranged for operation in places where the temperature comes within the following ranges, according to the climatic class given on the rating plate. The appliance may not work properly if it is left for a long period at a temperature outside the specified range.

Climatic Class Amb. T. (°C) Amb. T. (°F)

SN From 10 to 32 From 50 to 90

N From 16 to 32 From 61 to 90

ST From 16 to 38 From 61 to 100

T F r o m 16 to 43 From 61 to 110

Do not store or use petrol, gas or flammable

•

liquids in the vicinity of this or other electrical appliances. The fumes can cause fires or explosions. Do not use mechanical, electric or chemical

•

means other than those recommended by the Manufacturer to speed up the defrost process. Do not damage the appliance refrigerant

•

circuit pipes. Do not use or place electrical appliances

•

inside the product if they are not of the type expressly authorised by the Manufacturer. This appliance is not designed for use by

•

young children or the infirm without supervision. To avoid the risk of children becoming

•

trapped and suffocating, do not allow them to play or hide inside the appliance. Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of

•

the ice packs (if provided). Use the refrigerator compartment only for

•

storing fresh food and the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.

Do not store liquids in glass containers in the

•

freezer compartment since they may burst. Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately

•

after taking them out of the freezer since they may cause cold burns. Before carrying out any maintenance or

•

cleaning operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect the power supply. All appliances equipped with an ice-maker and

•

water dispenser must be connected to a water supply that delivers drinking water only (with mains water pressure of between 0.17 and

0.81 Mpascals (1.7 and 8.1 bar)). Ice-makers and/or water dispensers not directly connected to the water supply must be filled with drinking water only.

• The Manufacturer declines any liability if the above advice and precautions are not respected.

HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR/ FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Connect the appliance to the mains water and power supply

•

(see the Installation manual). When the appliance is connected to the power supply, the freezer display shows two hyphens until

•

the optimum temperature is reached, whereas the refrigerator display shows a temperature of +5°C (factory-set). When the appliance is warm, the red alarm LED will blink and the acoustic alarm will sound, indicating

•

that the appliance has not yet reached the optimal temperature for storage of food. Press the Reset button to deactivate the acoustic alarm.

•

The red light will stop flashing when the freezer compartment reaches a suitable temperature for

•

preserving food. At this point food can be loaded into the freezer compartment. After being switched on, the refrigerator needs 2/3 hours to reach the correct temperature to store

•

a normal amount of food in the refrigerator compartment.

IMPORTANT:

If food is placed in the refrigerator before the appliance has reached a suitable temperature for storing

•

food, it may deteriorate. Turning the refrigerator and freezer controls to a cooler than recommended setting will not cool the

•

compartments any faster. Do not place food near the air vents in the refrigerator compartment.

•

A built-in exterior moisture control continuously guards against moisture build-up on the front edges;

•

Do not be alarmed if these edges sometimes feel warm to the touch. The inside light comes on when any door is opened.
