SAFETY INFORMATION

In the interest of your safety and to ensure
the correct use, before installing and first
using the appliance, read this user manual
carefully, including its hints and warnings.
To avoid unnecessary mistakes and acci­dents, it is important to ensure that all
people using the appliance are thorough­ly familiar with its operation and safety
features. Save these instructions and
make sure that they remain with the appli­ance if it is moved or sold, so that every­one using it through its life will be proper­ly informed on appliance use and safety.
For the safety of life and property keep
the precautions of these user's instruc­tions as the manufacturer is not responsi­ble for damages caused by omission.

CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE
PEOPLE SAFETY

• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with re­duced physical, sensory or mental ca­pabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been giv­en supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person re­sponsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to en­sure that they do not play with the ap­pliance.

• Keep all packaging well away from chil­dren. There is risk of suffocation.

• If you are discarding the appliance pull
the plug out of the socket, cut the con­nection cable (as close to the appliance
as you can) and remove the door to
prevent playing children to suffer elec­tric shock or to close themselves into it.

• 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.

GENERAL SAFETY

Keep ventilation openings, in the appli­ance enclosure or in the built-in structure,
clear of obstruction.

• 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.

• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

• The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is
contained within the refrigerant circuit
of the appliance, a natural gas with a
high level of environmental compatibili­ty, which is nevertheless flammable.

During transportation and installation
of the appliance, be certain that none
of the components of the refrigerant
circuit become damaged.

If the refrigerant circuit should become
damaged:

– avoid open flames and sources of ig-

nition

– thoroughly ventilate the room in

which the appliance is situated

replaced by a certified service
agent or qualified service person­nel to avoid hazard.

1.
