consequences for the environment and human
health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate waste handling of this product.
The symbol on the product, or on the
documents accompanying the product, indicates
that this appliance may not be treated as
household waste. Instead it shall be handed over
to the applicable collection point for the
recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
Before scrapping, make the appliance unusable
by cutting off the power cable and removing the
doors and shelves so that children cannot easily
climb inside the appliance.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with
local environmental regulations for waste
disposal. Deliver the appliance immediately to

Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced
with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600a).
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a):
Isobutane is a natural gas with low
environmental impact. Caution is required,
however, since isobutane is flammable.
Therefore, it is essential to ensure that
refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.

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.
•
After installation, make sure that the
refrigerator does not stand on the power
cable.
•
Do not store glass containers with liquids in
the freezer since they may burst.
•
Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
after taking them out of the freezer since they
may cause “cold” burns.
•
Before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning, always unplug the appliance or
disconnect the power supply.
•
Make sure that your refrigerator is not near a
heat source.
•
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
•
To ensure proper ventilation leave a 1 cm
space on both sides and above the
refrigerator.
•
Ensure that the vent outlets on the appliance
casing or housing unit are unobstructed in
order to allow correct air circulation.
•
Appliances with an ice maker or water
dispenser must be connected to a water
supply which delivers potable water only. Ice
makers and/or water dispensers that are not
directly connected to the water supply must
be filled using potable water only.
•
Install and level the refrigerator on a floor that
will hold the weight and in an area suitable for
its size and use.
•
Do not use the refrigerator in an area where
the room temperature will fall below 13°C.
Place it in a dry and well ventilated room.
•
Be careful not to damage the floors when you
move the appliance (e.g. parquet flooring).
•
Do not use mechanical devices or any means
other than those recommended by the
manufacturer to speed up the defrosting
process.
•
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
•
Do not use electrical appliances inside the
freezer compartments, unless such appliances
are specifically recommended by the
manufacturer.
•
This appliance is not designed for use by
young children or the infirm.
•
To avoid the risk of children being trapped
and therefore suffocating, do not allow them
to play or hide inside the refrigerator.
•
The power cable may only be replaced by an
authorized person.
•
Do not use extension leads or adapters.
•
Electrical disconnection must be possible
either by unplugging the appliance or by
means of a double-pole switch located upline
from the socket.
•
Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the
ice packs (if provided).
