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.
36
Respecting the environment and sa ving energy
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 5-6 mm 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.
In compliance with the latest legislation concerning environme ntal 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.
EN
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.
BIOCARE - anti-bacterial walls
This is a specific coating on the lining of your refrigerator consisting of silver ions, which prevent
bacteria from developing.
The anti-bacterial coating does not require any particular treatment and remains active throughout
your appliance's operating life.
However, you must clean your appliance regularly. See the section on "Cleaning your appliance".

NO FROST: its significance and operation
This appliance has been designed and manufactured to avoid
frost accumulating inside it.
A system automatically melts away any frost and the water produced flows through a small pipe into the container provided,
where it evaporates away.
You do not need to de-ice the appliance yourself.
