BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, no-frost
fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use.
The great advantage of this appliance is that the
refrigerator and freezer compartments are ventilated,
therefore there is no ice or frost formation on the walls,
thanks to the process described below. The cold is
produced by an evaporator and distributed to the single
compartments by means of a fan.
The air, after circulating in the compartments, is
absorbed again by the evaporator, which also retains
any humidity in the air. This prevents frost from forming
on the compartment walls, as in traditional appliances,
therefore
there is no need to defrost the appliance.
The humidity absorbed by the evaporator is
transformed into water, which is automatically routed
to a container located on the compressor, from where
it evaporates. The ventilated refrigeration system
guarantees optimal food storage, maintaining the
original characteristics longer.
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.
1.After unpacking the appliance, check for damage and
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.
3.Installation of the appliance and electrical
connections must be carried out by a qualified
electrician, in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and local regulations.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
1.Packing
The packaging 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.
2.Appliance
The appliance is made using recyclable materials.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local
environmental regulations for waste disposal.
Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power
cord. The appliance must be delivered to an authorized
collection centre for the recovery of refrigerant gas.
