does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

ª Before any cleaning or maintenance work is

carried out, be sure to switch off and unplug the appliance.

ª This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken

when moving it.

ª Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed

straight from the appliance.

ª Take utmost care when handling your

appliance so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible ﬂuid leakages.

ª The appliance must not be located close to

radiators or gas cookers.

ª Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to

direct sunlight.

ª There must be adequate ventilation round the

back of the appliance and any damage to the refrigerant circuit must be avoided.

ª For freezers only (except built-in models): an

ideal location is the cellar or basement.

ª Do not use other electrical appliances (such as

ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances, unless they are approved for this purpose by the manufacturer.

Service / Repair

ª Any electrical work required to install this

appliance should be carried out by a qualiﬁed electrician or competent person.

ª This appliance should be serviced by an

authorized Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts should be used.

ª Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service Centre, and always insist on genuine spare parts.

ª This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Use

ª The domestic refrigerators and freezers are

designed to be used speciﬁcally for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

ª Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been

thawed out.

ª Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

ª The inner lining of the appliance consists of

channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these should be punctured this would damage the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using the scraper provided. Under no circumstances should solid ice be forced off the liner . Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance. See defrost instructions.

ª Do not place carbonated or ﬁzzy drinks in the

freezer as it creates pressure on the container, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance.

ª Do not use a mechanical device or any artiﬁcial

means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

ª Never use metal objects for cleaning your

appliance as it may get damaged.

Installation

ª During normal operation, the condenser and

compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in the relevant Figure.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

ª If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is

possible that the oil contained in the compressor ﬂows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to ﬂow back in the compressor.

ª There are working parts in this product which heat

up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. See installation instructions.

ª Parts which heat up should not be exposed.

Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall.

ª If the appliance has been transported horizontally,

it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor ﬂows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to ﬂow back in the compressor.

Environment Protection

ª This appliance does not contain gasses which

could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities. The materials used on this appliance marked with the symbol are recyclable.

INSTALLATION

Location

Place the appliance as far away as possible from sources of heat, e.g. radiators, heaters, direct sunlight, etc. Best performance is obtained with ambient temperature between +18°C and +43°C (class T); +18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C (class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN).

The class of your appliance is shown on its rating plate.

For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in Fig. 1:

Appliance positioned under overhanging kitchen wall units (see Fig. 1-A).

Appliance positioned without overhanging kitchen units (see Fig. 1-B).

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

One or more adjustable feet mounted on the base of the appliance make it possible to set it perfectly level.

If this appliance – equipped with magnetic door seals – replaces an older appliance featuring a spring lock (mechanical latch) on the door or lid, please ensure that this lock is made completely unusable before «throwing out» the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for a child.
