Safety Precautions

DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS – OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY

Our refrigerators are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable materials. We urge you to cooperate by disposing of the packaging properly. Contact your local dealer or the competent local organisations for the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal facilities. Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. Packaging parts, and especially plastic bags, may represent a suffocation hazard for children.

Your old appliance must also be disposed of properly. Important deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect scrapped appliances. Proper disposal allows the intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain gases which may damage the environment; it is important to ensure that the refrigeration circuit pipelines are not damaged until the competent service has taken delivery of the appliance.

Before scrapping your refrigerator it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. Also, cut the power supply lead and remove it and the plug.

NOTICE TO USERS:

PURSUANT TO DIRECTIVES 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 2003/108/EC, RELATING TO THE REDUCTION OF THE USE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES IN ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT, AND WASTE DISPOSAL, THE BARRED RUBBISH BIN SYMBOL ON THE APPLIANCE INDICATES THAT IT CANNOT BE DISPOSED OF AS HOUSEHOLD WASTE AT ITS END-OF-LIFE. THE USER MUST THEREFORE HAND THE PRODUCT OVER, AT ITS END-OF-LIFE, TO THE APPLICABLE COLLECTION CENTRES FOR THE RECYCLING OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC WASTE, OR RETURN IT TO THE DEALER ON PURCHASE OF ANOTHER EQUIVALENT APPLIANCE, ON A ONE-FOR-ONE BASIS. CONSIGNING THE END-OF-LIFE APPLIANCE TO THE APPROPRIATE COLLECTION POINT FOR RECYCLING AND ECO-COMPATIBLE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL PREVENTS POTENTIAL NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH, AND HELPS ENSURE THAT THE PRODUCT’S COMPONENT MATERIALS WILL BE RECYCLED. UNLAWFUL DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT BY THE USER MAY LEAD TO PROSECUTION.

Safety Precautions

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Keep the instruction handbook in a safe place; it contains important information which must be applied when installing, using and servicing the refrigerator. The handbook must be kept so that it can be passed on to any subsequent owners of the appliance. The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to comply with the following precautions:

- Do not attempt to operate a damaged appliance: in case of doubt, contact your dealer.

- The appliance must be installed and connected to the electrical mains in full compliance with the instructions provided in the handbook. The electrical connection conditions must be as specified on the nameplate , which is in the bottom left-hand corner of the body of the refrigerator. The appliance's electrical safety is only guaranteed if the household electrical system is earthed in accordance with the relevant regulations.

- Make sure that all repairs and servicing are only carried out by authorised engineers from the Smeg after-sales service. Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains in case of breakdown and maintenance, when changing light-bulbs or during cleaning. Never defrost using electrical devices or steam cleaners. Never remove frost or ice with sharp items, as this may cause

irreparable damage to the walls of the refrigerator.

- Never attempt to move the refrigerator by pulling on the door or the handle.

- High-alcohol drinks must only be stored sealed and vertical.

- Do not use electrical equipment (such as ice cream makers or blenders) inside the appliance.

- To ensure the refrigerator operates correctly, never obstruct or cover the air ducts in any way.

- Never eat or drink foods which look or smell strange.

- Never allow children to play with the refrigerator and use the drawers, shelves or other parts

of the appliance only as described in this handbook; never use them for purposes other than those for which they are designed

- This appliance may be used by children from the age of 8 and by people of reduced physical and mental ability or lacking in experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised or instructed on the safe use of the appliance and if they understand the associated risks. Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Do not allow unsupervised children to perform cleaning or maintenance operations..

In case of electricity blackout, open the door(s) as little as possible. Once partly or completely thawed, frozen foods must not be re-frozen.

Caution:

this refrigerator contains a small quantity of isobutane (R600a), a CFC-free gas refrigerant. When transporting, installing, cleaning and repairing the refrigerator, take care not to damage any parts of the refrigeration circuit to prevent the risk of gas leaks. In case of damage, do not use naked lights and ventilate the room containing the appliance appropriately.

2. INTENDED USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR

The appliance is specifically constructed for domestic use and is therefore suitable for the refrigeration and storage of fresh foods.

The refrigerator has undergone all necessary tests regarding tightness of the refrigeration circuit and complies with the safety regulations for electrical appliances.
