THESE WARNINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY. YOU MUST READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE APPLIANCE.

This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualiﬁed electrician or competent person.

This product should be serviced by an authorised ZANUSSI Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts should be used.

It is dangerous to alter the speciﬁcations or modify this product in any way.

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

ZANUSSI domestic refrigerators, freezers and fridge/freezers are designed to be used speciﬁcally for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves in this appliance contain channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this would cause substantial damage to the appliance and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under NO circumstances should solid ice be forced off the lining or shelves. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw, when defrosting the appliance. See Defrost instructions.

The appliance should be left for 2 hours after installation before it is turned on in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or “frost/freezer burns”.

Ice lollies can cause “frost/freezer burns” if consumed straight from the freezer.

Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local ZANUSSI Service Centre and always insist on genuine spare parts.

There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in possible food loss. See installation instructions.

Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions.

Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, be sure to switch off the appliance and unplug it.

Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has thawed out.

Do not place carbonated or ﬁzzy drinks in the freezer as it creates pressure on the container, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance.
