means other than those recommended by the Manufacturer to speed up the

defrost process..

WARNING: Do not use or place electrical devices inside the appliance compartments if they are not of the type expressly

authorised by the Manufacturer.. WARNING: Ice makers and or

water dispencers not directly connected to the water supply must be filled with potable

water only..

WARNING: Automatic icemakers and/or water dispensers must be connected to a water supply that delivers potable water only, with main water pressure between 0..17 and 0..81 MPa (1..7 and 8..1 bar)..

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

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.. C-Pentane is used as blowing agent in the insulation foam and it is a flammable gas..

INSTALLATION

The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons.. Use protective gloves to unpack and install the appliance..

Installation and repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician, in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and local safety regulations.. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically stated in the user manual.. Children should not perform installation operations.. Keep children away during installation.. Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc..) out of reach of children, during and after the installation..

Be careful not to damage the floors (e..g.. parquet) when moving the appliance.. Install the appliance on a floor or support strong enough to take its weight and in a place suitable for its size and use..

After unpacking the appliance, make sure that it has not been damaged during transport.. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest Aftersales Service..

The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before any installation operation..

During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable..

To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space on both sides and above the

appliance.. The distance between the rear of the appliance and the wall behind the appliance should be 50 mm, to avoid access to hot surfaces.. A reduction of this space will increase the Energy consumption of product..

Only activate the appliance when the installation has been completed..

Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient..

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

ELECTRICAL WARNINGS

For installation to comply with current safety regulations, an omnipolar switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm is required and the appliance must be earthed..

If the power cable is damaged, replace with an identical one.. The power cable must only be replaced by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer instruction and current safety regulations.. Contact an authorized service center..

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, contact a qualified technician..

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING MATERIALS

The packaging material is 100% recyclable and is marked with the recycle symbol .. The various parts of the packaging must therefore be disposed of responsibility and in full compliance with local authority regulations governing waste disposal..

SCRAPPING OF HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES

When scrapping the appliance, make it unusable by cutting off the power cable and removing the doors and shelves (if present) so that children cannot easily climb inside and become trapped..

This appliance is manufactured with recyclable or reusable materials.. Dispose of it in accordance with local waste disposal regulations..

For further information on the treatment, recovery and recycling of household electrical appliances, contact your competent local authority, the collection service for household waste or the store where you purchase the appliance..

This appliance is marked in compliance with European Directive 2012/19/EU, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)..

By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product..

The symbol on the product or on the accompanying documentation indicates that it should not be treated as domestic waste but must be taken to an appropriate collection center for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment..

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any heat source (eg.. radiator, cooker, etc..) and in 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..

Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy consumption..

The internal temperatures of the appliance and the Energy Consumption 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..

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

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

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

This appliance has been designed, constructed and distributed in compliance with the requirements of European Directives:

LVD 2014/35/EU, EMC 2014/30/EU and RoHS 2011/65/EU..
