BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
•Your new appliance is a combined fridge-freezer
exclusively for domestic use.
The freezer compartment 
can be used for freezing fresh and cooked food, making ice cubes, and storing frozen and deep-frozen food; this compartment must be defrosted manually. 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 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 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 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 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.
•Do not allow children to play or hide inside the appliance - risk of becoming trapped and suffocating.
•Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs.
•Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.
