malfunctioning. Refer to your local
Service Centre, and always insist
on genuine spare parts.
• This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling unit;
maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
Use
• The domestic refrigerators and
freezers are designed to be used
specifically for the storage of edible
foodstuffs only.
• Best performance is obtained with
ambient temperature between +16°C
and +43°C (class T); +16°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.
Warning: when the ambient
temperature is not included within
the range indicated for the class of
this appliance, the following
instructions must be observed:
when the ambient temperature
drops below the minimum level, the
storage temperature in the freezer
compartment cannot be
guaranteed; therefore it is advisable
to use the food stored as soon as
possible.
• Frozen food must not be re-frozen
once it has been thawed out.
• Manufacturers’ storage
recommendations should be strictly
adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.
• The inner lining of the appliance
consists of channels through which
the refrigerant passes. If these

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.
• 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.
