Special instructions

If this appliance is to replace a lock-fitted refrigerators
before getting rid of the old model, break or remove the
lock as a safety measure to protect children who, when
playing, might have access to the refrigerator and lock
themselves inside.
The purchaser is responsible for installing the appliance.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for incorrect
installation or for failure to complete the earth connections
as described in this handbook.
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

After unpacking your new fridge-freezer the interior should
be washed with a weak solution of sodium bicarbonate in
warm water.
Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Position the
appliance away from heat sources, at least 50 cm (20 inc)
and in a ventilated spot, not in niches or recesses.

Position the appliance in such a way that you can
access the socket where it is plugged in.
Wait about three hours before plugging the appliance in

to the mains to ensure proper performance.
Make sure the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage
indicated on the rating plate which is located inside the
refrigerator compartment on the lower left-hand side.
Insert the plug in an electric socket provided with earth
contact and suitable for a current of a least 10A.

Do not use adapters or shunts which could cause
overheating and burning.

If the wall socket has no earth contact, or if the plug is not
suitable for your mains, we suggest you call an electrician
for assistance.

Storage

If the freezer compartment is empty, to obtain the optimum
temperatures inside the refrigerator, set the thermostat
knob indicator on a middle setting.
The setting should be regulated taking into account how
often the refrigerator door is opened, how much food is on
the shelves and the room temperature is.

The symbol on the freezer door means that this
compartment permits fast freezing of fresh foods and the
storing of frozen and deep-frozen foods for long periods of
time

If frozen or deep-frozen foods are to be stored in the
freezer compartment, set the thermostat knob between 4
and 5.
