Important information and advice


Safety instructions	EN

This appliance is intended for domestic use only. It has been designed for preserving and freezing food.

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 energy	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, en- vironmentally-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

This appliance's packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the environment by dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose.

Your appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this label to indicate the used appliances that should not be mixed with other

waste. This way, the appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will be done under the best possible conditions, in compliance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collection points closest to your home.

We thank you doing your part to protect the environment.
