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.

INSTALLATION

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.

Positioning

Important

It is essential that the appliance be connected to an efﬁcient earth tap. For this purpose the supply cable plug incorporates a special earth contact. If the sockets of your domestic wiring system are not earthed, have the appliance connected to a separate earth wire by a qualiﬁed electrician in accordance with existing safety regulations.

The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, 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. 14.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
