WARNINGS

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.

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

ª This appliance is designed to be operated by

adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper
with the controls or play with the product.

ª Any electrical work required to install this

appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.

ª This product should be serviced by an authorized

Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts
should be used.

ª It is dangerous to alter the specifications or

modify this product in any way.

ª Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance

does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

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 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 Before any cleaning or maintenance work is

carried out, be sure to switch off and unplug the
appliance.

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.

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 use a mechanical device or any artificial

means to speed up the thawing process other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.

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 This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken

when moving it.

ª Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed

straight from the appliance.

ª This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

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

ª Never use metal objects for cleaning your

appliance as it may get damaged.

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 does not contain gasses which could

damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant
circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not
be discarded together with the urban refuse and
rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at
the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your
local disposal sites may be obtained from your
municipal authorities.

ª Take utmost care when handling your appliance so as

not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with
consequent possible fluid leakages.

ª The appliance must not be located close to radiators or

gas cookers.

ª Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct

sunlight.

ª There must be adequate ventilation round the back of

the appliance and any damage to the refrigerant
circuit must be avoided.

ª For freezers only (except built-in models): an ideal

location is the cellar or basement.

ª 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.

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

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 building into kitchen units follow the special
“Building-in” instructions given.

Electrical connection

Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and
frequency shown on the serial number plate correspond
to your domestic power supply .
V oltage can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage.
For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized
auto-transformer must be used.

The appliance must be earthed.

The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact
for this purpose.
If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed,
connect the appliance to a separate earth in compliance
with current regulations, consulting a specialist
technician.

The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above
safety precautions are not observed.

This appliance complies with EEC directive number 87/308 of
2/6/87 relative to radio interference suppression.

This appliance complies with the following
E.E.C. Directives:

- 73/23 EEC of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and
subsequent modifications;

- 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive) and subsequent
modifications.

Cleaning the interior

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 use detergents or abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
