ATTENTION
Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which
will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your
appliance.
Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards
(EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark
(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.
It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).
1.1.
1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even
1.1.
in an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to
leave it exposed to rain or storms.
2.2.
2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refriger-
2.2.
ate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use
contained in this manual.
3.3.
3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet
3.3.
or with wet hands or feet.
4.4.
4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension
4.4.
cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not
bent or dangerously pinched or compressed.
5.5.
5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the
5.5.
plug from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.
6.6.
6. Never touch the cooling components within the appli-
6.6.
ance, especially with wet hands because this could result in
injury.
7.7.
7. Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into
7.7.
your mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause
burns.
8.8.
8. Never perform any cleaning or maintenance operations
8.8.
without first unplugging the appliance. Setting the appliance
ON/OFF control to OFF is not enough to cut off all electrical
contacts.
9.9.
9. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal,
9.9.
remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent
children who might play in or around the appliance from
being locked inside.
10.10.
10. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of mal-
10.10.
function, consult the chapter entitled “TROUBLESHOOTING"
to determine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem.
Do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal components of the appliance.
11.11.
11. If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance
11.11.
must necessarily be replaced by our service centre because
special tools are required for replacement.
12. 12.
12. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment
12. 12.
for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the
manufacturer.
13.13.
13. At the end of the functional life of your appliance –
13.13.
containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and
perhaps gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit –
the latter should made safe before being sent to the dump.
For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local
Organisation in charge of waste disposal.

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded
plug and you should wish to remove it to add a
longer cable or to re-route the mains cable through
partitions, units etc. please ensure that either:
- The plug is replaced by a fused 13amp rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of
approval.
or
- The mains cable is wired directly into a
13amp cable outlet, controlled by a
switch (in compliance with BS 5733)
which is accessible without moving the
appliance.
