also be used for “cold meals.”
It is recognisable by aeration cells located on the back
walls of the compartments.
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to
collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The
system maintains an optimal humidity level in the
compartment, preserving the original quality of the food,
preventing the food from sticking together and making
defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration
cells by placing food or containers in direct contact with
the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap
food tightly.

Precautions and tips
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in
compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons
and must be read carefully.
This appliance complies with the following
Community Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and
subsequent amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
- 2002/96/CE.
General safety
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside
the home and is not intended for commercial or
industrial use.
• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food
products by adults only and according to the
instructions in this manual.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even
in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave
the appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet
or moist hands and feet.
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this
could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off
the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical
supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature
adjustment knobs on
all electrical contact.
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the
appliance.
• Do not use utensils other than the scraper provided,
or electrical equipment which is not of the type
specified by the manufacturer, inside the frozen food
storage compartments.
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer
into your mouth.
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or
play with the appliance. Under no circumstance
should they be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang
from the door.
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children!
It can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
(appliance off) to eliminate
Disposal
• Observe local environmental standards when
disposing packaging material for recycling
purposes.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the
materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of
your obligation, that when you dispose of the
appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight
and do not place it near heat sources.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods
or opening the door too frequently in order to
conserve energy.
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food:
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor
will work continuously.
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator.
The internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food
products more difficult and results in increased
energy consumption.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping (
