BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
Your new appliance is 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 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.
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 recycl able materials.
Dispose of the appliance in co nf ormi ty wi th l oca l
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.
Keep this handbook for future consultation.
1. After unpacking the appliance, make sure
that the door shuts properly. Any damage
must be reported to your dealer within 24
hours after delivery of the appliance.
2. Wait at least two hours before connecting
the appliance to the power supply in order
to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully
efficient.
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.
Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs
(replaced with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with
R600a - Isobutane). For more information,
refer to the identification date plate affixed
to the appliance.
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a)
Isobutane is a naturally occurring low
environmental impact gas. Caution is required,
however, because Isobutane is inflammable.
Therefore, it is essential to ensure that
refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.
