2.Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance on in order to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.

3.Installation of the appliance and electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and local safety regulations.

4.Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Packing

The packaging material is 100% recyclable and carries the recycling symbol. Follow local regulations for scrapping. Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.

2. Scrapping/Disposal

The appliance is manufactured using recyclable material.

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By making sure this appliance is disposed of correctly, the user will help prevent potentially negative consequences for the environment and the health of persons.

The symbol on the product, or on the documents accompanying the products, indicates that this appliance may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Before scrapping, make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power cable and removing the doors and shelves so that children cannot easily climb inside the appliance.

Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. Deliver the appliance immediately to an authorized dump; do not leave it unattended even for a few days, since it is potentially dangerous for children. For more detailed information about treatment, recovery and recycling of this appliance, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the appliance.

Information:

This appliance does not contain CFC (the refrigerant circuit contains R134a) or HFC (the refrigerant circuit contains R600a) (see the rating plate inside the appliance).

Appliances with Isobutane (R600a): isobutane is a naturally occurring, low environmental impact gas. Caution is required, however, because isobutane is flammable. Therefore, ensure that the pipelines of the refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.

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

•To ensure adequate ventilation, leave a space on both sides and above the appliance and follow the installation instructions.

•Keep the appliance ventilation openings free.

•Power cable modification or replacement must only be carried out by qualified personnel.

•It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains by unplugging it or by means of a two-pole switch fitted upline of the socket.

•Ensure that the voltage indicated on the appliance rating plate corresponds to the domestic supply voltage.

•For the water connection, use the pipe supplied with the new appliance and do not use that of the previous appliance.

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

•The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons.

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

•Do not use single/multiple adapters or extension cables.

•Place the appliance in a dry and wellventilated place. The appliance is arranged to operate in places where the temperature comes within the following ranges, according to the climatic class indicated on the rating plate. The appliance may not work properly if it is left for a long period at a temperature above or below the indicated range..

Climatic class	Amb. T. (°C)	Amb. T. (°F)
SN	From 10 to 32	From 50 to 90

N	From 16 to 32	From 61 to 90
ST	From 18 to 38	From 64 to 100

T	From 18 to 43	From 64 to 110

•Do not store or use petrol, gas or flammable liquids in the vicinity of the appliance or other electrical appliances. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

•Do not use mechanical, electric or chemical means other than those recommended by the Manufacturer to speed up the defrost process.

•Do not damage the appliance's refrigerant circuit pipes.

•Do not use or place electrical appliances inside the compartments if they are not of the type expressly authorized by the Manufacturer.

•This appliance is not designed for use by young children or the infirm without supervision.

•To avoid the risk of children being trapped and therefore suffocating, do not allow them to play or hide inside the appliance.

•Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs (if provided).

•Use the refrigerator compartment only for the storage of fresh food and the freezer compartment only for the storage of frozen food, the freezing of fresh food, and to make ice cubes.

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

INSTALLATION

•Make sure that your refrigerator is not near a heat source.

•Install it in a dry and well-ventilated place.

•To ensure proper ventilation leave a 1 cm space on both sides and above the refrigerator.

•Clean the inside of the refrigerator before using it.

•Leave the refrigerator (without moving it) for at least one hour before connecting it to the power outlet.

•The appliance must be connected to a water supply that delivers drinking or chemically purified water.

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

•Do not use the refrigerator in places where the temperature can fall below 13°C.

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

HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR/ FREEZER COMPARTMENT

•Connect the appliance to the water supply and power supply (see Installation manual).

•When the appliance is connected to the power supply, two hyphens will appear on the freezer display until the optimum temperature is reached. The refrigerator display will show a temperature of +5°C (factory set).

•When the appliance is warm, the red alarm LED will blink and the acoustic alarm sounds, indicating that the appliance has not yet reached the optimum temperature for preserving food.

•Press the Reset button to deactivate the acoustic alarm.

•The red LED will stop blinking when the freezer compartment reaches a sufficiently low temperature for preserving food. At this point food can be placed in the freezer compartment.

•After being switched on, the refrigerator needs 2/3 hours to reach the correct temperature to store a typical volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.

IMPORTANT: If food is introduced before the refrigerator has cooled completely, it may deteriorate. Turning the refrigerator and freezer controls to a cooler than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

•Do not place food near the air vents in the refrigerator compartment.

•A built-in exterior moisture control continuously guards against moisture build-up on the front edges; Do not be alarmed if these edges sometimes feel warm to the touch.

•The inside light switches on when both doors are opened.
