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.

This appliance is designed to be operated by
adults. Children should not be allowed to
tamper with the controls or play with the
product.

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.

It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
modify this product in any way.

Care must be taken to ensure that the appli­ance does not stand on the electrical supply
cable.

The domestic refrigerators and freezers are
designed to be used specifically for the stor­age of edible foodstuffs only.

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

Manufacturers’ storage recommendations
should be strictly adhered to. Refer to rele­vant instructions.

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.

Before any cleaning or maintenance work is
carried out, be sure to switch off and unplug
the appliance.

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.

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.

Do not use a mechanical device or any artifi­cial means to speed up the thawing process
other than those recommended by the manu­facturer.

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.

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

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

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by author­ized technicians.

Never use metal objects for cleaning your
appliance as it may get damaged.

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 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.

Take utmost care when handling your
appliance so as not to cause any dam­ages to 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.

Installation

If this new appliance, provided with a magnetic
door seal, is replacing one which has a sprung
door closing device, you are advised to ensure
that this device is made inoperable before discar­ding the appliance so that the door can no longer
be retained in a closed position.
This is to avoid the possibility of children acciden­tally shutting themselves in the appliance and
thus endangering their lives.

Warning!

If this appliance has been transported horizontally,
wait at least half a day before starting it in order to
allow the oil to flow back into the compressor.

Positioning

Position the appliance well away from sources of
heat (radiators, stoves, cooking appliances, direct
sunlight etc.).
The best performance is obtained with a room
temperature of between +10 ° C and +32 ° C.

For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be
as shown in the Figure.

wall units (see Fig.-A).

Levelling

The appliance is provided with two levelling feet
located at the front, and two rear castors for easy
movement.

The refrigerator should be levelled accurately, adju­sting the feet as shown in the figure so that it is
tilted slightly backwards to facilitate closure of the
doors.

Electrical connections

Before plugging in the appliance to the mains
socket, check that the voltage and frequency
indicated on the appliance’s rating plate are the
same as those provided by your home power
supply. A 6% fluctuation above or below rated
voltage is acceptable. For operation using diffe­rent voltages, you should use an autotransformer
of suitable capacity.

The appliance MUST be connected to an
efficient earth or ground tap.

The supply-lead plug in fact incorporates a special
earth or ground contact for this purpose.
If by any chance the sockets of your domestic
wiring system are not earthed (grounded), the
appliance must be connected to a separate earth
or ground wire by a qualified electrician, in accor­dance with existing safety regulations.

The manufacturer declines to accept any
liability if this accident-prevention procedure
is not followed.

This appliance complies with EEC directive
number 87/308 of 2.6.87 relative to radio interfe­rence suppression.
