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

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.

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.

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.

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.
