The handbook contains a description of the appliance and useful tips for storing food.

Keep this handbook for future consultation.

1.After unpacking the appliance, make sure that the door shuts properly.

Any damage must be reported to your retailer within 24 hours.

2.Wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to the power supply in order to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.

3.Appliance installation and electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations.

HINTS FOR SAVING ENERGY

•Use the thermostat to set the correct temperature in accordance with the indications on the enclosed product chart.

•Installation in an area exposed to direct sunlight or in proximity to heat sources will increase power consumption and should therefore be avoided.

•Remove dust from the condenser at the back of the appliance at least once a year (see. section “Maintenance and Cleaning”).

•Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.

•Limit the number of times the refrigerator and low temperature compartment doors are opened.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

•Use the refrigerator compartment only for storing fresh food and beverages and use the low temperature compartment only for storing frozen food and making ice cubes.

•Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the appliance.

•Do not store liquids in glass containers in the low temperature compartment - danger of bursting.

•Do not eat ice cubes or ice-lollies immediately after taking them out of the low temperature compartment - risk of “cold” burns.

•Do not allow children to play or hide inside the appliance - risk of becoming entrapped and suffocating.

•Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the mains or disconnect the electricity supply.

•The power cable can only be replaced by an authorised person.

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.
