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 appliance has not been designed or manufactured for professional use.
Smeg declines all responsibility for damage deriving from improper use of the appliance. The refrigerator
has undergone all necessary tests regarding tightness of the refrigeration circuit and complies with the
safety regulations for electrical appliances.
Caution:
the manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with
the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the
use of non-original spare parts.
