BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

The appliance that you have bought features ventilated cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments (No Frost system).

The great advantage of ventilated cooling in the refrigerator and freezer compartments is the total absence of ice and frost on the walls, thanks to the process described below. Cold is produced by an evaporator and conveyed into the compartments by a fan. The air, after having circulated in the compartments, is absorbed once again by the evaporator that retains all moisture. In this way no frost will form on the compartments walls like in traditional appliances. Therefore, there is no need to defrost.

The moisture retained by the evaporator is turned into water that automatically flows into a pan above the compressor where it evaporates.

The ventilated cooling system ensures perfect food storage, preserving its original flavour and texture.

Furthermore, apart from these typical advantages of the No Frost system, some models have a special compartment for storing particularly delicate and perishable food at low temperature.

•After unpacking, make sure that the appliance is undamaged and that the doors close tightly. Any damage must be reported to your retailer within 24 hours after delivery of the appliance.

•Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, let it stand (don’t move it) for at least 1 hour.

•The packaging box is recyclable and is marked with the recycling symbol .

•The appliance is built with re-usable material. When scrapping, follow the local environment protection disposal regulations.

•Make sure that the installation and the electrical connection are carried out by a qualified technician according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local safety regulations.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL SUGGESTIONS

•Use the refrigerator compartment only for the storage of fresh food and the freezer compartment only for the storage of frozen food, the freezing of fresh food and to make ice cubes.

•After installation, make sure that the appliance does not stand on the power cable.

•Do not store glass containers with carbonated 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 carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the appliance or switch the power supply off.

•To avoid the risk of children being trapped and suffocating, do not allow them to play or hide inside the refrigerator. Render the appliance inoperative and cutting the power cable off. Do not dump the appliance. Take it to the local disposal centre so that the refrigerant may be properly recovered and treated.

-the protection requirements of the “EMC” EEC Directive 89/336 amended by EEC Directive 93/68.

Information

This appliance is free of CFC’s (refrigerant circuit contains R134a) or free of HFC’s (refrigerant circuit contains R600a - Isobutane). For more details, please refer to the rating plate on the appliance.

For appliances with Isobutane (R600a)

The refrigerant Isobutane is a natural gas of high environmental compatibility but which is inflammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the ducts of the refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.
