When scrapping the appliance,
make it unusable by cutting o
the power cable and removing
the doors and shelves (if pre­sent) so that children cannot
easily climb inside and become
trapped.

This appliance does not con­tain CFCs. The refrigerant
circuit contains R600a (HC).
Appliances with Isobutane
(R600a): isobutane is a natural
gas without environmental
impact, but is ammable.

circuit breaker (RCCB), only use
a model marked with

.

The appliance is arranged for
operation in places where the
temperature comes within the
following ranges, according to
the climatic class given on the
rating plate.
The appliance may not work
properly if it is left for a long
time at a temperature outside
the specied range.

Climatic Class Amb. T. (°C)

Avoid storing unwrapped food
in direct contact with internal
surfaces of the refrigerator or
freezer compartments.

Appliances could have special
compartments for food stor­age.
In case not dierently specied
in the specic booklet of
product, they can be removed,
maintaining equivalent perfor­mances.
Do not swallow the contents
(non-toxic) of the ice packs (in
some models).

Do not eat ice cubes or ice
lollies immediately after taking
them out of the freezer since
they may cause cold burns.

For products designed to use
an air lter inside an accessible
fan cover, the lter shall be
always in position when the
refrigerator is in function.
Do not store glass containers

EN

with liquids in the freezer
compartment since they may
break.

Do not obstruct the fan (if
available) with food items.
After placing the food check if
the door of compartments
closes properly, especially the
freezer door.

Damaged gasket must be
replaced as soon as possible.

CHILDREN SAFETY

Very young (0-3 years) and
young children (3-8 years) shall

be kept away unless continu­ously supervised.

The appliance must be discon­nected from the power supply
before carrying out any clean­ing or maintenance operation.

Never use steam cleaning
equipment

SAFEGUARDING
THE ENVIRONMENT

DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING
MATERIALS

The packaging material is
100% recyclable and is marked
with the recycle symbol:

The various parts of the
packaging must therefore be
disposed of responsibly and in
full compliance with local
authority regulations
governing waste disposal.

SCRAPPING OF
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES

This appliance is manufactured
with recyclable or reusable
materials. Dispose of it in
accordance with local waste
disposal regulations.

For further information on the
treatment, recovery and
recycling of household
electrical appliances, contact
your competent local
authority, the collection service
for household waste or the
store where you purchase the
appliance.

This appliance is marked in
compliance with European
Directive 2012/19/EU, Waste
Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE).
By ensuring this product is
disposed of correctly, you will
help prevent potential
negative consequences for the
environment and human
health, which could otherwise
be caused by inappropriate
waste handling of this product.

This symbol on the
product or on the

accompanying
documentation indicates that
it should not be treated as

7

domestic waste but must be
taken to an appropriate
collection centre for the
recycling of electrical and
electronic equipment.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Install the appliance in a dry,
well ventilated room far away
from any heat source (e.g.
radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a
place not exposed directly to
the sun. If required, use an
insulating plate.
To guarantee adequate
ventilation follow installation
instructions. Insucient
ventilation on back of the
product increases energy
consumption and decreases
cooling eciency.

The internal temperatures of
the appliance may be aected
by the ambient temperature,
frequency of door opening, as
well as location of the
appliance. Temperature setting
should take into consideration
these factors.
Reduce to a minimum door
opening.

When thawing frozen food,
place them in the refrigerator.
The low temperature of the
frozen products cools the food
in the refrigerator.

Allow warm food and drinks to
cool down before placing in
the appliance.

Positioning of the shelves in
the refrigerator has no impact

on the ecient usage of
energy. Food should be placed
on the shelves in such way to
ensure proper air circulation
(food should not touch each
other and distance between
food and rear wall should be
kept).

You can increase storage
capacity of frozen food by
removing baskets and, if
present, Stop Frost shelve,
maintaining an equivalent
energy consumption.

High energy class products are
tted with high eciency
motors that remain operational
for longer, but have a low
power consumption. Do not
worry if the engine continues
to run for longer periods.
