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.

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

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

•Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer compartment - risk of "cold" burns.

•To avoid the risk of children becoming trapped and therefore suffocating,

do not allow them to play or hide inside the appliance.

•Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs (if provided).

•Before carrying out maintenance or cleaning, always unplug the appliance or switch the power supply off.

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

(European Directive 89/109/EEC).

Information

Appliances with isobutane (R600a)

Isobutane is a natural gas having low environmental impact. Caution is required, however, because Isobutane is inflammable. Therefore, ensure that the pipelines of the refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.

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 temperatures between +10°C and +38°C. Optimal peformance is obtained at temperatures between +16°C and +32°C.

Switching on the appliance

Press the refrigerator compartment "ON" button (1).

•The inside light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened.

•An acoustic alarm (only available on electronic models) sounds when the door has been left open for more than 1 minute; it will switch off when the door is closed.

•Green LED (2) switches on, indicating operation of the refrigerator compartment.

Important:

•There is no need to adjust the compartment temperature using the thermostat knob or set the temperature using the button

(in electronic models), as the temperature is factory set (+5° for electronic models)

to ensure the correct storage temperature for fresh foods at ambient temperatures between +20°C and +25°C.

•After being switched on, the refrigerator needs approx. 30 minutes to reach the correct temperature to store a typical volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.
