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.

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.

¥ ManufacturersÕ 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. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial means to

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 availa­ble 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.
