SAFETY INFORMATION

In the interest of your safety and to ensure the cor­rect use, before installing and first using the appli­ance, read this user manual carefully, including its
hints and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mis­takes and accidents, it is important to ensure that
all people using the appliance are thoroughly fa­miliar with its operation and safety features. Save
these instructions and make sure that they remain
with the appliance if it is moved or sold, so that
everyone using it through its life will be properly in­formed on appliance use and safety.
For the safety of life and property keep the pre­cautions of these user's instructions as the man­ufacturer is not responsible for damages caused
by omission.

Children and vulnerable people safety

• This appliance is not intended for use by per­sons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of expe­rience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.

• Keep all packaging well away from children.
There is risk of suffocation.

• If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug
out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as
close to the appliance as you can) and remove
the door to prevent playing children to suffer
electric shock or to close themselves into it.

• 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.

General safety

Caution! Keep ventilation openings clear of

obstruction.

• The appliance is designed exclusively for do­mestic use.

• The appliance is intended for keeping foodstuff
and/or beverages in a normal household as ex­plained in this instruction booklet.

• Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing process.

• 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.

• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

• The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained
within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a
natural gas with a high level of environmental
compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
During transportation and installation of the ap­pliance, be certain that none of the components
of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
If the refrigerant circuit should become dam­aged:
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the ap-

pliance is situated

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or mod­ify this product in any way. Any damage to the
cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or elec­tric shock.

Warning! Any electrical component (power

cord, plug, compressor) must be replaced by
a certified service agent or qualified service per­sonnel.

1. Power cord must not be lengthened.

2. Make sure that the power plug is not squash­ed or damaged by the back of the appliance.
A squashed or damaged power plug may
overheat and cause a fire.

3. Make sure that you can come to the mains
plug of the appliance.

4. Do not pull the mains cable.

5. If the power plug socket is loose, do not in­sert the power plug. There is a risk of electric
shock or fire.

6. You must not operate the appliance without
the lamp cover

• This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken
when moving it.

• Do not remove nor touch items from the freezer
compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as
this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer
burns.

purpose lamps selected for household applian­ces use only. They are not suitable for household
room illumination.

Daily Use

• Do not put hot pot on the plastic parts in the
appliance.

• Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the ap­pliance, because they may explode.

• Do not place food products directly against the
air outlet on the rear wall.

3)

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

• Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer's instruc­tions.

• Appliance's manufacturers storage recommen­dations should be strictly adhered to.

• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer compartment as it creates pressure on
the container, which may cause it to explode,
resulting in damage to the appliance.

• Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed
straight from the appliance.

Care and cleaning

• Before maintenance, switch off the appliance
and disconnect the mains plug from the mains
socket.

• Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to
remove the typical smell of a brand-new prod­uct, then dry thoroughly.

• Do not clean the appliance with metal objects.

• Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from
the appliance. Use a plastic scraper.

• Never use a hair drier or other heating applian­ces to speed up defrosting. Excessive heat may
damage the plastic interior, and humidity could
enter the electric system making it live.

Installation
Important! For electrical connection carefully

follow the instructions given in specific paragraph.

• Unpack the appliance and check if there are
damages on it. Do not connect the appliance if
it is damaged. Report possible damages imme­diately to the place you bought it. In that case
retain packing.

• It is advisable to wait at least four hours before
connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow
back in the compressor.

• Adequate air circulation should be around the
appliance, lacking this leads to overheating. To
achieve sufficient ventilation follow the instruc­tions relevant to installation.

• The appliance should be placed away from the
wall to allow the lid to open fully.

CARE AND CLEANING

Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

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

Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment of this model, on the
other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means that

It is possible to deactivate the function at any time
by pressing key (D) until the corresponding icon will
flash and then key (E).

the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher
settings.

Important! In the event of accidental defrosting,
for example due to a power failure, if the power has
been off for longer than the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart under "rising time",
the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after
cooling).

there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation,
neither on the internal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous cir­culation of cold air inside the compartment, driven
by an automatically controlled fan.
