1.
is undamaged and that the door closes
properly. Any damage must be reported to
your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of
the appliance.
Wait at least two hours before switching the
2.
appliance on in order to ensure the refrigerant
circuit is fully efficient.
Make sure that the installation and the
3.
electrical connection are carried out by a
qualified technici an acc ording to the
manufacturer’s instructions and local safety
regulations.
Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.
4.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
1.Packing
The packaging material is 100% recyclable and
carries the r ecycling symbol. Disposal must be
carried out in accordance with local regulations
for waste disposal.
Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene par ts, et c. ) out o f reac h of c hi ldren ,
as they are potentially dangerous.
2.Scrapping
The appliance is manufactured using recyclable
material.
Before scrapping, make the appliance unusable
by cutting off the power cable and removing the
doors and shelves so that children cannot easily
climb inside the appliance.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with
local environmental regulations for waste
disposal. Deliver the appliance immediately to
an authorized dump; do not leave it unattended
even for a few days, since it is potentially
dangerous for children.
Information:
This applian ce does not c ontain CFCs (re place d
with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600a).
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a):
Isobutane is a natural gas with low
environmental impact. Caution is required,
however, since isobutane is flammable.
Therefore, it is essential to ensure that
refrigera nt pipelines are not damaged.
Declaration of conformity
This appliance is designed to store food and is
•
manufactured in conformity with
EEC directive No. 89/109/EEC, 90/128/EEC,
02/72//EEC.
This appliance is designed, manufactured, and
•
retailed in compliance with:
- the safety objectives of the Low Voltage
Directive 73/23/EEC;

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Use the refrigerator compartment only for
•
storing fresh food and beverages and use the
freezer compartment only for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food and making ice
cubes.
After insta llation, make sure that the
•
refrigerator does not stand on the power
cable.
Do not store glass containers with liquids in
•
the freezer since they may burst.
Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
•
after takin g them out of the freez er sinc e they
may cause “cold” burns.
Before carrying out any maintenance or
•
cleaning, always unplug the appliance or
disconnect the power supp ly.
Make sure that your refrigerator is not near a
•
heat source.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
•
flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
To ensure proper ventilation leave a 1 cm
•
space on both sides and above the
refrigerator.
Ensure that the vent outlets on the appliance
•
casing or housing unit are unobstructed in
order to allow correct air circul ation.
Appliances with an ice maker or water
•
dispenser must be connected to a water
supply which delivers potable water only. Ice
makers and/or water dispensers that are not
directly connected to the wate r supp ly must
be filled using potable water only.
Install and level the refrigerator on a floor that
•
will hold t he weigh t and in an area suit able fo r
its size and u se.
Do not use the refrigerator in an area where
•
the room temperature will fall below 13°C.
Place it in a dry and well ventilated room.
Be careful not to damage the floors when you
•
move the appliance (e.g. parquet flooring).
Do not use mechanical devices or any means
•
other than those recommended by the
manufacturer to speed up the defrosting
process.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
•
Do not use electrical appliances inside the
•
freezer compartments, unless such appliances
are specifically recommended by the
manufacturer.
This appliance is not designed for use by
•
young childr en or the infirm.
To avoid the risk of children being trapped
•
and therefore suffocating, do not allow them
to play or hide inside the refrigerator.
The power cable may only be replaced by an
•
authorized person.
Do not use extension leads or adapters.
•
Electrical disconnection must be possible
•
either by unplugging the appliance or by
means of a doub le -p ol e s wit c h loc a ted up l in e
from the socket.
Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the
•
ice packs (if provided).

HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
Only for appliances with or star
compartments:
4
If the freezer compartment is marked , it can
be used to store already frozen food.
If the freezer compartment is marked , it can
be used to store food for several months, and for
freezing fresh food. The amount of fresh food
(expressed in kg.) that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated on the rating plate (see paragraph
“Product Description”, ref. 6).
Freezing fresh food
• Set the thermostat
• Place the food to be frozen in the middle of the
freezer compartment.
• Frozen food must not come into contact with fresh food
still to be frozen (leave around 20 mm).
• After 24 hours, return the thermostat
position.
Important:
Wrap and seal the food in:
• aluminium foil, cling film, watertight plastic bags, polythene
containers with lids or special freezer containers.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged pack aging may hav e deteriora ted). If th e package
is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been
stored under optimal condi tio n s and de fro st ing may have
already begun.
• Transport products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last.
• Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the
freezer.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hou rs.
• Avoid subjecting foods to temperature variations.
Observe the "best before" date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube tray
bottom of the freezer compartment.
• Use a spoon ha ndle to remove ice cube trays which stick
to the compartment.
Do not use sharp or pointed instruments.

INSTALLATION
Install the freezer away from heat sources.
8
Installation in a hot environment, direct exposure to the
sun or installation near heat sources (heaters, radiators,
cookers) will increase power consumption and should
therefore be avoided.
If this is not possible, the following minimum distances
must be respected:
30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves
3 cm from electric stove s.
• Install the refrigerator in a dry, well-ventilated place.
• Clean the interior (see “How to defrost and clean the
appliance").
• Fit the accessories.
• Check the door seal is not damaged or deformed,
especially after installation or reversal of door opening.
Electrical connection
• Ensure that the voltage indicated on the appliance data
plate corresponds to the mai ns vo lta ge .
• Regulations require that the appliance is earthed.
The Manufacturer declines all liabilities for injury to
persons or damage to property resulting from fai lure to
observe these regulations.
• If the plug and socket are not of the same type, have the
socket replaced by a qualified electrician.
• Do not us e ex tensi on c ables , mu lti ple s ocke ts or ad apter s.
