There may be slight differences between your appliance's details and features and
those described here.

Safety instructions
This appliance is intended for domestic use only. It has been designed for preserving and freezing
food.
EN
The following instructions are for your own safety and should be observed without
fail. We can neither be held responsible, nor uphold the guarantee in case of failure to observe these recommendations, which may lead to material damage or physical injury.
Your appliance must be installed, fixed if necessary and used in compliance with the instructions in this operating and installation
instructions manual in order to avoid any damage and/or danger due to any lack of stability or faulty installation.
If the appliance has been delivered to
your home in a horizontal position,
stand it upright and then wait 2 hours
before plugging it in. A small amount of
oil may have flowed into the refrigeration circuit, and you must allow time for
this to flow back towards the motor before connecting the appliance. Failure
to do so may damage the appliance.
If you appliance is fitted with castors, please
remember that they are only designed to assist in small movements. Do not use them for
longer journeys.
Carry out an initial cleaning operation (see
the section on "Installing your appliance") before connecting your appliance to the electrical supply. Disconnect your appliance prior to
performing any maintenance operation.
Grasp the plug directly, instead of pulling on
the power cable.
Do not place bottles or jars containing liquids
in the freezer unless they are only two-thirds
full: freezing causes liquids to expand, which
can cause the container to explode.
Do not use any other method than those we
recommend in this manual for speeding up
defrosting.
Do not use electrical equipment inside compartments designed for preserving frozen
food unless the manufacturer recommends
otherwise. Do not let children play with the
appliance and keep your pets well away from
it. Worn out appliances must be rendered
unusable. Unplug and cut the electric cable
flush with the appliance. Render the door
catch unusable or, better still, remove the
door, so as to ensure that no child or animal
risks being shut inside whilst playing. If a problem arises that you are unable to resolve
using the advice given (see the "Noise, inconveniences, minor breakdowns" section),
please contact an official after-sales service
or a qualified professional.
Your appliance's refrigeration circuit
is filled with isobutane refrigerant
(R600a), a natural, non-polluting gas
that is, however, inflammable. Ensure
that none of the components in your
appliance's refrigeration circuit have
been damaged during transport or installation. If you detect any damage,
keep your appliance away from flames
or any type of source of heat or combustion and ventilate it location.

Respecting the environment and saving ener gy
EN
To reduce your appliance’s electrical consuption:
• Install it in a suitable place see "Installation of your appliance" section).
• Leave the door open as little as possible.
Do not place food that is still hot in your
refrigerator or freezer, particularly in the
case of soups or dishes that release a lot
of steam.
• Ensure that you appliance operates optimally by not allowing too much frost to
build up in the freezer (de-frost it when
the frost is more than 5-6mm thick) and
clean its condenser periodically (See the
"Ongoing maintenance of your appliance" section).
• Periodically check the door seals and
make sure that the doors close firmly. If
they do not, lease contact our After-sales
service.
The packaging and all the components of your
appliance are made from recyclable materials.
Please take this into account when discarding
them. Your supplier or your local council will be
able to tell you about the possibilities for disposing of your appliance in an appropriate, environmentally-friendly manner.
In compliance with the latest legislation concerning environmental protection, your appliance does not contain any CFCs. Instead it
uses a gas called R600a. The exact type of refrigerant used in your appliance is also clearly
indicated on the identification plate inside your
appliance's refrigerator section, low down on
the left-hand wall.
R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not
harm the ozone layer and whose contribution
to the greenhouse effect is virtually zero.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

receptacles provided for this purpose.
Your appliance also contains a
great amount of recyclable

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
Contact your town hall or your retailer for the

home.
We thank you doing your part to protect the
environment.
BIOCARE - anti-bacterial walls
