WARNINGS

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.

ª This appliance is designed to be operated by

adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper
with the controls or play with the appliance.

ª Any electrical work required to install this appliance

should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.

ª This appliance should be serviced by an authorized

Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts
should be used.

ª It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify

this appliance in any way.

ª Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance

does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

ª The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed

to be used specifically for the storage of edible food­stuffs only.

ª Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been

thawed out.

ª Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to r elevant instructions.

ª 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.

ª Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried

out, be sure to switch off and unplug the appliance.

ª If the appliance is 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.

ª The inner lining of the appliance consists of chan-

nels 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.

ª Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial

means to speed up the thawing process other than
those recommended by the manufacturer.

ª 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.

ª This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when

moving it.

ª Ice lollies can cause frost bur ns if consumed

straight from the appliance.

ª This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling

unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.

ª Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance

as it may get damaged.

ª 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.

ª 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.

ª Take utmost care when handling your appliance

so as not to cause any damages to the cooling
unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.

ª The appliance must not be located close to radi-

ators or gas cookers.

ª Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to

direct sunlight.

ª There must be adequate ventilation round the

back of the appliance and any damage to the
refrigerant circuit must be avoided.

ª For freezers only (except built-in models): an

ideal location is the cellar or basement.

ª Do not use other electrical appliances (such as

ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appli­ances, unless they are appr oved for this
purpose by the manufacturer.

If this model, equipped with a magnetic door lock,
replaces an old appliance with a catch, ensure that
the latter cannot be used before discarding it to
prevent children being trapped inside.

Positioning

The appliance should be installed well away from
sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sun­light etc.
Best performance is obtained with ambient tempera­ture between +18°C and +43°C (class T); +18°C and
+38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C (class N); +10°C
and +32°C (class SN).

The class of your appliance is shown on its rating
plate.

For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as
shown in Fig. 1:

Appliance positioned under overhanging kitchen wall
units (see Fig. 1-A).

Appliance positioned without overhanging kitchen
units (see Fig. 1-B).

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of ob­struction.

Two adjustable feet at the cabinet base allow accurate
levelling of the appliance.

Fig. 1

Rear spacers

The plastic bag containing all relevant documentation
also contains two rear wall spacers to be fitted into
special slots on the back of the appliance. Fit the
spacers into the slots, taking care to ensure that the
arrow (A) is positioned as shown in Figure 2. Next, turn
them through 45° (arrow in vertical position) until they
lock into place.

Fig. 2

Electrical connection

Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and fre­quency shown on the serial number plate correspond
to your domestic power supply.
Voltage can vary by ±6% of the rated value.

The appliance must be earthed.

The power supply cable plug is provided with a con­tact for this purpose.
If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed,
connect the appliance to a separate earth in compli­ance with current regulations, consulting a specialist
technician.

The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the
above safety precautions are not observed.

This appliance complies with the E.E.C. directive
no. 87/308 of 2/6/87 concerning the suppression of
radio interference.

This appliance complies with the following
E.E.C. Directives:

- 73/23 EEC of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and
subsequent modifications;

- 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibil­ity Directive) and subsequent modifications.

Cleaning the appliance’s interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash all
internal parts with lukewarm water and neutral soap
so as to remove the typical «new» smell and then dry
thoroughly. Do not use detergents or abrasive pow­ders as these will damage the finish.
