for waste disposal.
Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children,
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.

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 installation, make sure that the
•
refrigerator is not standing on the power
supply 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 taking them out of the freezer since they
may cause cold burns.
Before servicing or cleaning the appliance,
•
unplug it from the mains or disconnect the
electrical power supply.
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 circulation.
Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the
•
appliance.
Install and level the refrigerator on a floor strong
•
enough to take its weight and in an area suitable
for its size and use.
Do not use the refrigerator in an area where the
•
room temperature may fall below 13°C. Install 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.
•
This appliance is not designed for use by
•
young children 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.
Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the
•
ice packs (if provided).
Electrical Connection
Electrical connections must be made in
•
accordance with local regulations.
Ensure that the voltage indicated on the
•
appliance data plate corresponds to the
domestic supply voltage.
• Regulations require that the appliance is
earthed. The Manufacturer declines all
liabilities for injury to persons or damage
to property resulting from failure to
observe these regulations.
If the plug and socket are not of the same
•
type, have the socket replaced by a qualified
electrician.
The power cable may only be replaced by an
•
authorised person.
Do not use extension leads or adapters.
