2. Appliance:
The freezer is made of
recyclable material. Dispose of the appliance in conformity with local environmental regulations. Make the appliance
unusable by cutting off the power cord. The appliance must be delivered to an authorised collection centre for the recovery of refrigerant gas.
Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600a ­Isobutane). For more information, refer to the identification data plate affixed to the rear of the appliance.
• Following installation, wait at least 2 hours without moving the appliance before connecting it to the mains supply in order to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.

Precautions and general recommendations
Do not cover or obstruct the
air vent of the appliance. Do not store liquids in glass
containers in the freezer: risk of bursting.
Do not eat ice cubes or ice
lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer: risk of “cold” burns.
Do not allow children to
play or hide inside the freezer: risk of becoming trapped inside and suffocating.
Keep the keys in a separate
place and out of reach of children: risk of children becoming locked inside the appliance.
Do not ingest the contents
(non-toxic) of the ice packs (if provided).
Before servicing or cleaning
the appliance, unplug it from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.
The power cable may only
be replaced by an authorised person.
If the freezer is left empty for short periods, it is preferable not to switch it off.
Frost formation on the upper edges and interior walls of the appliance is a natural phenomenon and will not affect the performance of the freezer.
Declaration of conformity
This appliance is intended to
come into contact with foodstuffs and conforms to D.L. 108 of 25.01.1992 (European Directive 89/109/EEC).
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a)
Isobutane is a natural gas having low environmental impact. Caution is required, however, since isobutane is flammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.

This is necessary in order to ensure the correct distance of the appliance from the wall.
Remove the packaging from the bottom (B) of the freezer.
The lid will not open while the appliance is working to reach the correct temperature (for approx. 1 hour).
Ensure the defrost water
drainage plug is correctly positioned (C). Ensure the lid seal is not
damaged or deformed: to right any deformation, warm the seal with a hair dryer. Before connecting the
appliance to the mains supply, ensure that the voltage corresponds to that given on the data plate (D).
