The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and marked with the recycling symbol. Follow local regulations for scrapping.
Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.
2.Appliance
The freezer is made of recyclable material. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power cord. The appliance must be delivered to an authorised collection centre for the recovery of refrigerant gas.
Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600aIsobutane). For further details, refer to the rating plate located on the rear of the appliance.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
•Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the appliance.
•Do not store liquids in glass containers in the freezer: risk of bursting.
•Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer since they may cause cold burns.
•Do not allow children to play or hide inside the freezer: risk of becoming trapped inside and suffocating.
•Keep the keys in a separate place and out of reach of children: risk of children becoming locked inside the appliance.
•Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs (if provided).
•Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.
•The power cable may only be replaced by an authorised person.
•If the freezer is left empty for short periods, it is preferable not to switch it off.
•Frost formation on the upper edges and interior walls of the appliance is a natural phenomenon and will not affect the performance of the freezer.

•During the cooling phase, the lid of the appliance will not open until the optimal temperature is reached (for about 1 hour).
•Ensure that the defrosting water drainage plug is correctly positioned (C).
•Ensure that the lid seal is not damaged: to remove any deformation, warm the seal with a hair dryer.
•Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that the voltage corresponds to that given on the rating plate (D).
•After the freezer has been installed, check that it is not resting on the mains cable.
•Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. Avoid locations near a source of heat or in direct sunlight.
•For best operation of the appliance and in order to avoid damage when the lid is opened, leave a space of at least 7 cm from the rear wall and 7 cm at the sides.
•Fit the accessories.
Electrical Connection
•Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local regulations.
•Data regarding voltage and absorbed power are given on the rating plate on the rear of the appliance (D).
•Regulations require that the appliance is earthed. The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or animals and for damage to property resulting from failure to observe the above procedures and reminders.
•If the plug and socket are not of the same type, have the socket replaced by a qualified electrician.
