DISPOSAL NOTICES – LOOKING AFTER THE ENVIRONMENT

Non-polluting materials are used in the packaging of our freezers to ensure that they are environmentally friendly and recyclable. Please work with us by ensuring that the packaging is disposed of correctly. Ask your supplier or the relevant organisations in your area for the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres. Please do not dump the packaging or any part of it. It can present a risk of suffocation for children, especially in the case of plastic bags.

Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly. Important: Please ensure your old appliance is handed over to the relevant local organisation authorised to collect waste electrical equipment. Proper disposal will enable valuable materials to be recovered. Refrigation appliances contain gases that can be harmful to the environment, so you need to ensure that the tubes in the coolant loop are not damaged before the competent organisation takes the appliance away.

Before throwing away your freezer it is important to remove the door and leave the drawers in their normal use positions in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing. The power grid connection cable must also be removed and disposed of separately together with the plug.

THIS APPLIANCE IS IDENTIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE). THIS DIRECTIVE SETS OUT THE RULES FOR COLLECTION AND RECYCLING OF WASTE APPLIANCES APPLICABLE THROUGHOUT THE EUROPEAN UNION.

Safety instructions

1. SAFETY NOTICES

Keep the instruction booklet in a safe place as it contains important instructions which must be followed when installing, using and maintaining the freezer. The manual must be kept so that it can be handed over to any later owners of the appliance. The manufacturer cannot be held liable if the following notices are not respected:

- Do not start up an appliance which appears damaged: if in doubt, consult the supplier.

- The appliance must be installed and connected to the power grid fully in accordance with the instructions in the manual. The electrical connection conditions must match the data provided on the nameplate located at the top left inside the freezer. The electrical safety of the appliance is only guaranteed if the electrical equipment is properly earthed.

- Do not use single or multiple adaptors or extension cables.

- Disconnection from the electricity supply must be possible either by pulling out the plug or via a bipolar circuit breaker located upline of the plug socket.

- Ensure that repairs and maintenance are carried out by authorised technicians from Smeg's technical support service only. Always disconnect the appliance from the power grid in the event of a breakdown or maintenance, or during cleaning. Never use electrical equipment or steam cleaners for defrosting. Do not remove frost or ice using sharp objects as these may cause irreparable

damage to the walls of the freezer.

- Do not attempt to move the freezer by pulling on the door or the handle.

- Keep alcoholic liquids with a high alcohol content hermetically sealed and exclusively vertically. Do not keep liquids in tins or glass containers in the freezer, especially carbonated drinks. Do not keep products containing gases, flammable propellents or explosive substances in the freezer: danger of explosion!

- Electrical appliances (e.g. ice cream machines or blenders) may not be used inside the appliance.

- Do not obstruct or cover the air circulation pipes in any way as these are required for the proper operation of the freezer.

- Do not touch frozen products removed straight from the freezer or put them in your mouth. There is a risk of burns due to the ultra-low temperatures.

- Do not consume food with an abnormal appearance or smell.

- This appliance is not intended for the use of people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, or who lack experience and knowledge of such appliances, unless they are supervised or instructed in the use of the appliance by another person who is responsible for their safety.

- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

- Install the product and ensure that it is level on a floor that is capable of bearing its weight and in a suitable environment for its size and use.

- The product must be moved and installed by two or more people.

- Do not damage the freezer coolant loop tubes.

- Do not ingest the (non-toxic) liquid in the coolant accumulators (if there are any).

If there is a power cut, open the door as little as possible. Frozen food which has partially or completely defrosted must not be refrozen.

Attention:

The freezer contains a small quantity of isobutane (R600a), a CFC-free gas refrigerant. During the freezer transport, installation, cleaning and repair phases, pay attention to avoiding damage to any part of the coolant loop in order to prevent a gas leak. In the event of damage, avoid naked flames and ventilate the area where the appliance is located.

Safety instructions

2. INTENDED USE OF THE FREEZER

The appliance has been specifically produced for domestic use and it is therefore suitable for freezing and preserving fresh and deep-frozen foods and producing ice cubes. The appliance is not designed and manufactured for professional use. Smeg cannot be held liable for any damage incurred as a result of incorrect use of the appliance. The freezer has undergone the necessary leakage tests for the coolant loop and meets the safety requirements applicable to electrical appliances.

Attention: The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any personal injury or property damage caused by failure to observe the above requirements or by tampering with any part of the appliance or using non-original spare parts.

Instructions for the Installer

3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

3.1 Choice of location

Always locate the freezer in a dry, sufficiently ventilated area. Ensure that it is not directly exposed to the sun's rays and do not locate it outside. Depending on the climate class to which it belongs (indicated on the nameplate inside the freezer), the appliance can be used in various temperature conditions:

Class Room temperature SN (Subnormal) from + 10°C to + 32°C N (Normal) from + 16°C to + 32°C ST (Subtropical) from + 18°C to + 38°C T (Tropical) from + 18°C to + 43°C

Do not locate the freezer near a heat source. If this is unavoidable, in order to prevent the proper operation of the product from being compromised, a suitable insulation board must be used. Otherwise, locate the appliance at least 3 cm away from electrical or gas cookers and at least 30 cm away from combustion heaters or radiators. To ensure that the condenser cools properly, the freezer must not be located too close to the wall. To avoid this, the product is equipped with two plastic spacers (1) which must be placed on the upper part of the condenser. If the freezer is installed under a wall unit, the two must be at least 5 cm apart. Take care when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum to avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the floor. When positioning the freezer, use pieces of wood or carpet to slide it to the appropriate point for connection to the power grid, if necessary.

Instructions for the Installer

3.2 Positioning and leveling the appliance

When positioning the product, ensure that it does not damage the supply cable. Two rollers are provided on the base of the product at the back (fig. 1) to make it more stable and easier to move, and therefore to make it possible to position it properly. However, you are advised to be very careful when moving the product so that the sliding motion does not damage the floor (e.g. if the freezer is placed on a parquet floor). Place the freezer on a stable, level base. The freezer is equipped with two adjustable feet at the front (fig. 2) to compensate for any irregularities in the flooring.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

The adjustable feet enable the front part of the freezer to be raised and therefore tilted back, to facilitate proper door closure. If the feet are not high enough to stabilise the freezer (e.g. if the floor is very uneven), or to tilt it backwards, a shim made of a rigid material (plastic or wood) will need to be inserted underneath the feet in order to further raise the front of the freezer. In order for the freezer to be installed correctly, the door must be able to close properly. A check must be made to ensure that the door seals close hermetically, especially at the corners. If they do not close properly, check to make sure that there are no product processing residues or packaging residues between the seal and the freezer itself. If necessary, adjust the seal

with your fingers as in figures 3 and 4.
