SAFETY INFORMATION

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.

If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock (latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for a child.

These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

General Safety

•Take utmost care when handling your appliance so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.

•The appliance must not be located close to radiators or gas cookers.

•Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.

•There must be adequate ventilation round the back of the appliance and any damage to the refrigerant circuit must be avoided.

•For freezers only (except built-in models): an ideal location is the cellar or basement.

•Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances.

Service/Repair

•Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person

•This product should be serviced by an authorized Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts should be used.

•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.

•This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Use

•The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

•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.

Warning: when the ambient temperature is not included within the range indicated for the class of this appliance, the following instructions must be observed: when the ambient temperature drops below the minimum level, the storage temperature in the freezer compartment cannot be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the food stored as soon as possible.

•Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been thawed out.

•Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

•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.

•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.

Installation

•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 instructions.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

•Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly availa-ble from the manufacturer or its service agent.

•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.

•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.

•Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall.
