BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR

Your new appliance is a combined static refrigerator and ventilated (no frost) freezer and is for domestic use only.

The freezer compartment uses the ventilated (No Frost) system, the great advantage of which being that there is no formation whatever of ice and frost on the surfaces of any component: cold is produced by an evaporator and distributed around the compartments by a fan.

Having circulated in the compartments, the air is drawn back into the evaporator, which retains the moisture. This system eliminates the formation of frost on the walls, a common problem with traditional appliances, which means that

defrosting

The humidity retained by the evaporator is turned into water which drains automatically into a basin on the compressor, from where it evaporates. The ventilated no frost system ensures optimum storage of food, which retains its original condition for longer.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Packing

The packing 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.

To get the most out of your new appliance, read the user handbook thoroughly. The handbook contains a description of the appliance and useful tips for storing food.

Keep this handbook for future consultation.

After unpacking the appliance, make sure

that the doors shut properly. Any damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of the appliance.

2. Wait at least two hours without moving the appliance before switching on. This will give the refrigerant circuit time to settle and operate efficiently.

Installation of the appliance and electrical

connections must be carried out by a qualified technician, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations.

2. Appliance

The appliance is made from recyclable materials. Dispose of the appliance in conformity with local environmental regulations.

Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power cord. The appliance must be consigned 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 R600a Isobutane). For more information, refer to the data plate affixed to the appliance.

HOW TO OPERATE THE

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

This appliance has two motors which allow independent operation and control of the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic.

The refrigerator can operate at ambient temperature between +10°C and +38°C. Optimal performance is obtained at temperatures between +16°C and +32°C.

Declaration of conformity

This appliance is intended to come into

•

contact with foodstuffs and conforms to D.L. 108 of 25.01.1992 (European Directive 89/109/EEC).

Information Appliances with Isobutane (R600a)

Isobutane is a naturally occurring low environmental impact gas. Caution is required, however, because Isobutane is inflammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.

Important

There is no need to adjust the compartment

•

temperature using the thermostat knob as the temperature is factory set to ensure the correct storage conditions for fresh foods at an ambient temperature between +20°C and +25°C. After being switched on, the refrigerator

•

needs approximately 30 minutes to reach the correct temperature to store a typical volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.
