PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

INSTALLATION

•Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g. parquet) when moving the appliance.

•Make sure the appliance is not near a heat source.

•Install and level the appliance on a floor strong enough to take its weight and in a place suitable for its size and use.

•The appliance is arranged for operation in places where the temperature comes within the following ranges, according to the climatic class given on the rating plate. The appliance may not work properly if it is left for a long time at a temperature outside the specified range.

Climatic Class	Amb. T. (°C)

SN	From 10 to 32

N	From 16 to 32

ST	From 16 to 38

T	From 16 to 43

•Make sure the voltage specified on the rating plate corresponds to that of your home.

SAFE USE

•Do not store or use petrol, flammable liquids or gas in the vicinity of this or other electrical appliances. The fumes can cause fires or explosions.

•Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs (in some models).

•Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer since they may cause cold burns.

•For products designed to use an air filter inside an accessible fan cover, the filter shall be always in position when the refrigerator is in function.

•Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect it from the power supply.

•Use the refrigerator compartment only for storing fresh food and the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.

•Do not store glass containers with liquids in the freezer compartment since they may break.

•Avoid storing unwrapped food in direct contact with internal surfaces of the refrigerator or freezer compartments.

•“The bulb used inside the appliance is specifically designed for domestic appliances and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home (EC Regulation 244/2009)”.

The Manufacturer declines any liability for injury to persons or animals or damage to property if the above advice and precautions are not respected.

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

•Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.

•To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.

•Insufficient ventilation on back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.

•The internal temperatures of the appliance may be affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.

•Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.

•Do not obstruct the fan (if available) with food items.

•After placing the food check if the door of compartments closes properly, especially the freezer door.

•Reduce to a minimum door opening.

•When thawing frozen food, place them in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator.

•Appliances could have special compartments (Fresh Food Compartment, Zero Degree Box,...). In case not differently specified in the specific booklet of product, they can be removed, maintaining equivalent performances.

•Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).

•You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost shelve, maintaining an equivalent energy consumption.

•Damaged gasket must be replaced as soon as possible.

•High energy class products are fitted with highefficiency motors that remain operational for longer, but have a low power consumption. Do not worry if the engine continues to run for longer periods.

•"Night sensor" and "Screensaver" in active mode and "Door Handle LEDs" in OFF position will lead to energy saving.

BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE

General information about new NO FROST technology

New No-Frost fridges differ from other static fridges in their operating principle.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge in the door openings and the humidity of the food causes freezing in the freezer compartment.

To defrost the snow and ice in the freezer department, you should turn off the fridge, take the food that needs to be kept in a constant temperature off the fridge, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer department periodically.

The situation in the freezer compartment is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry and cool air is blown through the freezer compartments via fan.

Cold air dispersed homogeneously between the shelves cools all your food equally and uniformly, thus prevents humidity and freezing.

The freezer compartment is cooled by statically. The air is distributed homogeneously between the racks in the cooling section with the fan, and all your foods can be cooled evenly and properly.

As there is no air passage between the sections, the smells on the 3 different parts of your refrigerator do not mix.

Therefore your New No-Frost fridge allows you ease of use, besides its huge volume and stylish appearance.
