Instructions for installation and use
Safety - a good habit to get into.
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
(EC directive 73/23 - 19.02.73) 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 89/336 - 03.05.89).
- The manufacturer reserves himself the right to modify the
characteristics of the models without prior notice.
- Some models may not have all the accessoires indicated.
1. This appliance is designed to be used indoors and under no
circumstances should it be installed outside even if protected
by a roof. Leaving the appliance exposed to the rain and
whether is exceedingly dangerous.
2. The appliance should be used only by adults and exclusively
for storing foodstuffs in compliance with the instructions provided in this manual. Under no circumstances should children
be allowed to operate, or tamper with, this product.
3. Do not attempt to operate or handle this appliance when
barefoot, or with wet hands or feet.
4. It is highly recommended that you do not operate this appliance by connecting it to the power supply with extensions or
multiple socket plugs. If the refrigerator has been installed between two cabinets, make sure that the supply chord is not
dangerously crimped or trapped beneath a heavy object.
5. Never pull the cable or the appliance to remove the plug
from the socket; this is exceedingly dangerous.
6. Do not touch the internal cooling elements, especially if your
hands are wet, since you could burn or hurt yourself. Do not
place ice cubes straight from the freezer into your mouth as
this may result in burns.
7. Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from
the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home).
8. Before disposing of your old appliance, remember to break
or remove the lock as a safety measure to protect children who
might lock themselves inside the appliance when playing. In
addition, if the appliance is a new one with a lock, keeo the
key out of the reach of small children.
9. If your appliance is not operating properly, read the chapter
entitled, “Trouble Shooting”, which might help you resolve the
problem, before calling an after-sales service centre. Do not
attempt to repair the appliance by tampering with the internal
components.
10. If the power supply cord must be replaced, please contact
one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases, the connections are made using special terminals and in others a special tool must be used to access the connections.
11. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for
food storage, if these are not those recommended by the
manufacturer.
12. At the end of the functional life of your appliance – 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.
Installation
To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to
reduce energy consumption, it is important that the
appliance is installed correctly.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than
perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the
appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with
an opening (window or French window) that provide the
appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important
that the room not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.
For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave a
space of at least 10 cm between the sides of the appliance
and any adjacent cabinets/walls.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.
Electrical Connection and Earthing
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure
that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located on
the back part of the freezer, corresponds to the mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted with a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety standards for
46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with an earthing
wire, the manufacturer will not be held liability for any damages and or injuries arising out of the use of the appliance.
Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.
