WARNINGS
It is most important that this instruction book
should be retained with the appliance for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move
house and leave the appliance, always ensure that
the book is supplied with the appliance in order
that the new owner can be acquainted with the
functioning of the appliance and the relevant
warnings.
These warnings are provided in the interest of
safety. You must read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.
“ This appliance is designed to be operated by
adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper
with the controls or play with the appliance.
“ Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
“ This appliance should be serviced by an authorized
Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts
should be used.
“ It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify
this appliance in any way.
“ Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
“ The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed
to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
“ The inner lining of the appliance consists of chan-
nels through which the refrigerant passes. If these
should be punctured this would damage the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss. DO NOT
USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or
ice. Frost may be removed by using the scraper
provided. Under no circumstances should solid ice
be forced off the liner. Solid ice should be allowed
to thaw when defrosting the appliance. See defrost
instructions.
“ Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer as it creates pressure on the container,
which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage
to the appliance.
“ This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when
moving it.
“ Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed
straight from the appliance.
“ Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or more
serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service
Centre, and always insist on genuine spare parts.
“ This appliance does not contain gasses which
could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials; it must nevertheless be disposed off in a proper manner, in
accordance with regulations for protection of the
environment.
“ Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been
thawed out.
“ Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should
be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.
“ There are working parts in this appliance which
heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate
ventilation as a failure to do this will result in
component failure and possible food loss. See
installation instructions.
“ Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wher-
ever possible the back of the appliance should be
against a wall.
“ Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried
out, be sure to switch off and unplug the appliance.
“ If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is
possible that the oil contained in the compressor
flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait
at least two hours before connecting the appliance
to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

INSTALLATION
Caution
If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock (latch)
on the door or lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before you discard the old appliance. This will
prevent it from becoming a death-trap for a child.
Location
Place the appliance away from all heat sources, such
as: radiators, heating stoves, direct sunlight, etc. Best
results are obtained with a room temperature ranging
between +16°C and +32°C.
Electrical connection
Before you plug the appliance into an A.C. mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency shown
on the rating plate correspond to your home supply.
A 6% fluctuation above or below the rated voltage is
admissible.
To adapt the appliance to other voltages, use an autotransformer having a minimum output of 500 VA.
Important
It is essential that the appliance be connected to an
efficient earth tap.
For this purpose the supply cable plug incorporates a
special earth contact.
If the sockets of your domestic wiring system are not
grounded, have the appliance connected to a separate ground wire by a qualified electrician in accordance with the existing safety regulations.
The manufacturer declines to accept any liability
should this safety rule not be observed.
This appliance complies with E.E.C. directive No.
87⁄308 of 2.6.87 relative to radio interference suppression.
This appliance complies with the following
E.E.C. Directives:
- 73/23 EEC of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and
subsequent modifications;
- 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibil-
ity Directive) and subsequent modifications.
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the
interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly. Do
not use detergents which will leave an odour or abrasive powders on the interior, as these will damage the
finish.
