hide inside the appliance.
• Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the
ice packs (in some models).
• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
after taking them out of the freezer since they

USE
• Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning
operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect it
from the power supply.
• All appliances equipped with an automatic ice-
maker and water dispenser must be connected
to a water supply that only delivers drinking
water (with mains water pressure of between
0.17 and 0.81 Mpascals (1.7 and 8.1 bar)).
Automatic ice-makers and/or water dispensers
not directly connected to the water supply must
be filled with drinking water only.
• Use the refrigerator compartment only for
storing fresh food and the freezer compartment
only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food
and making ice cubes.
• Do not store glass containers with liquids in the
freezer since they may burst.
The Manufacturer declines any liability if the

Precautions and general recommendations
6
For short vacations
• The refrigerator does not have to be disconnected from the power supply if you will be away for less
than three weeks. Use up perishable food and freeze other food.
• If the appliance has an automatic ice-maker:
1. Switch off the automatic ice-maker.
2. Shut off the water supply to the automatic ice-maker.
3. Empty the bucket.
For long vacations
• Remove all the food if you are going away for more than three weeks.
• If the appliance has an automatic ice-maker:
1. Switch off the automatic ice-maker.
2. Shut off the water supply to the automatic ice-maker.
3. Empty the ice bucket.
4. Fix some wooden or plastic wedges to the upper part of both doors with adhesive tape and leave
the doors open enough for air to circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of
mould and bad odours.
Moving
1. Remove all the inside parts.
2. Carefully wrap and fix them together with adhesive tape so that they do not knock against each other
or become lost.
3. Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not touch the support surface.
4. Using adhesive tape, close and seal both doors and fix the power cable to the appliance.
Power failures
• In case of a power failure, call the local office of the electricity company to find out how long it is going
to last.
Note: A completely full appliance will stay cold longer than one that is not.
If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be frozen again, although the flavour and aroma may be
affected.
If the food is in poor condition, it is advisable to throw it away.
In case of power failures of up to 24 hours
1. Keep the doors of the appliance closed. In this way the stored food will stay cold as long as possible.
In case of power failures lasting more than 24 hours
1. Empty the freezer compartment and put the food in a portable freezer.
If this type of freezer is not available or no artificial ice packs are available, try to use up the most
perishable food first.
2. Empty the ice bucket.
