IMPORTANT NOTES AND

PRECAUTIONS

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, please read carefully the instructions for use which describe the appliance and its correct and safe use. The instructions apply to several appliance types/models; thus, settings or equipment may be described herein which is not available in your appliance. We recommend saving this instruction manual for future reference and attach it to the appliance if it is sold in the future. The instruction manual includes the NO FROST version/ model of the freezer which is fitted with a fan and in which the defrosting process is automatic (only with some models).

Check for any damage or irregularities on your appliance. If you find your appliance is damaged, notify the retailer from which you have purchased the appliance.

Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, let the appliance rest in a vertical position for a minimum of 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of operation faults due to the effect of transport on the cooling system.

564385

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The appliance must be connected to the power mains and grounded in compliance with the effective standards and regulations.

Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the power mains (unplug the power cord from the wall outlet).

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service technician or other adequately trained person.

If LED lighting does not work, call a service technician. Do not attempt a repair of the LED lighting yourself, as there is danger of contact with high voltage!

WARNING! Do not use any electric devices inside the

appliance, except for those allowed by the manufacturer of this refrigeration appliance.

WARNING! Do not use mechanical devices or other

means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

WARNING! To avoid any hazard resulting from poor stability of the appliance, make sure it is installed as instructed.

Danger of frostbite

Never put frozen food in your mouth and avoid touching frozen food as this may cause frostnip or frostbite.

Safety of children and vulnerable persons

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or metal capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Remove the packaging intended to protect the appliance or particular parts during transport and keep it outside the reach of children. It presents danger of injury or suffocation.

Do not let the children play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

When removing a used appliance, disconnect the power cord, remove the door, and leave the shelves in the appliance. This will prevent children from locking themselves in the appliance.

Warning regarding the refrigerant

The appliance contains a small amount of an environmentally friendly yet flammable gas R600a. Make sure that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. A gas leak is not hazardous to the environment, but it could cause eye injury or fire. In case of a gas leak, ventilate the room thoroughly, disconnect the appliance from the power mains, and call a service technician.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE USE OF APPLIANCE

WARNING! Keep ventilation openings, in the

appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

The appliance may not be used outdoors and it may not be exposed to rain.

Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

If the appliance will be out of use for an extended period of time, switch it off using the relevant button, and unplug it from the power mains. Empty the appliance, defrost it, clean it, and leave the door ajar.

In case of an error or power supply failure, do not open the freezer compartment unless the freezer has not operated for over 16 hours. After this period, use the frozen food or provide sufficient cooling (e.g. a replacement appliance).

Technical information on the appliance

Rating plate can be found in the appliance interior. It indicates data on voltage, gross and net volume, type and amount of refrigerant, and information on the climate classes. If the language on the rating plate is not the language of your choice or the language of your country, replace it with the one supplied.

ADVICE FOR SAVING POWER WITH REFRIGERATION APPLIANCES

• Install the appliance as specified in the instruction manual.

• Do not open the door more often than necessary.

• Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is

unobstructed.

• Condenser unit on the rear wall should be kept clean (see chapter Cleaning the

appliance).

• If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for any reason,

have it replaced as soon as possible.

• Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.

• Before placing the food in the refrigerator, allow it to cool down to room

temperature.

• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.

• To make use of the entire freezer compartment interior volume, remove

some of the drawers as described in the instruction manual.

• Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3–5 millimetre

layer of frost or ice has built up on the refrigerated surfaces.

• Make sure the layout of shelves in the compartment is uniform and that

the food is placed so that the air can freely circulate in the appliance interior (observe the recommended placement of food as described in the instructions).

• In appliances with a fan, do not block the fan slots or vents.

• If you do not need the fan or the ionizer, switch them off to reduce power

consumption.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

SELECTING THE ROOM

• Install the appliance in a dry and well ventilated room. The appliance will operate

correctly if the environment temperature is in the interval speciﬁ ed in the table. The appliance class is indicated on the rating plate / label with the basic information on the appliance.

Class Temperature Relative Humidity

SN (subnormal) from +10 °C to +32 °C N (normal) from +16 °C to +32 °C ST (subtropical) from +16 °C to +38 °C T (tropical) from +16 °C to +43 °C

• Do not place an appliance in a room where temperature can drop to below 5 °C as this may cause abnormal appliance operation or failure!

• After the installation, the appliance mains plug should be accessible!

• Do not place the appliance near appliances or devices radiating heat, such as a cooker, a stove, a radiator, water heater etc., and do not expose it to direct sunlight. The appliance should stand at least 3 cm away from an electric or gas cooker or at least 30 cm away from an oil or solid fuel stove. If the distance between such source of heat and the appliance is smaller, use an insulating panel.

75%

Note: Place the appliance in a su ciently large room. There should be at least 1 m3 of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is indicated on the rating plate in the appliance interior.

• At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the integrated appliance, there should be at least 200 cm2 free space, for adequate air circulation.

On the upper part of the appliance the air is coming out, so try not to cover

the opening for the outﬂ ow air.

Ignoring this caution may result in damage to the appliance.

Warning: When installing appliances next to each other (side by side) that are taller than 1700 mm, an anti-condensation kit needs to be purchased and installed, should the humidity in the room where the appliances are installed exceed 70%. For safety reasons, dew prevention kit may only be installed by

an authorized service technician!

Order code: 376078 (appliances higher than 1,700 mm)

CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE

• Connect the appliance to the power mains using the power cord. The wall outlet should be ﬁ tted with a ground contact (safety socket). Nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate/label with basic information on the appliance.

• The appliance must be connected to the power mains and grounded in compliance with the e ective standards and regulations. The appliance will withstand short-term deviations from the nominal voltage, but not more than +/- 6%.

CHANGING THE DOOR OPENING DIRECTION AND INTEGRATING THE APPLIANCE INTO A CABINET
