BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR

Your new appliance is a combined fridge freezer exclusively for domestic use.

The freezer compartment can be used to deep freeze fresh and cooked food, make ice cubes, and for the storage of frozen and deepfrozen food; defrosting the freezer is a manual procedure. The refrigerator compartment, which has an automatic defrost feature, is used for the storage of fresh food and beverages.

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, make sure that the doors shut properly. Any damage must be reported to your retailer within 24 hours after delivery of the appliance.

2.Wait at least two hours without moving the appliance before connecting it to the power supply.

3.Appliance installation and electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and local regulations.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Packing

The packaging material is 100% recyclable (marked with recycling symbol). Adhere to local regulations when disposing of packaging material.

The packaging material (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) is potentially dangerous and must be kept out of reach of children.

2. Product

The appliance is made from recyclable materials and must be scrapped in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.

Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power cord. The appliance must be consigned 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 information, refer to the rating plate affixed to the appliance.

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 close the air vents.

•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.

•Do not allow children to play or hide inside the appliance - risk of becoming entrapped and suffocating.

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

•Before cleaning or servicing, always unplug the appliance or switch the power supply off.

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).

Information

Appliances with Isobutane (R600a)

Isobutane is a naturally occurring low environmental impact gas. Caution is required, however, because Isobutane is inflammable. Take care not to damage the pipelines of the refrigerant circuit.
