BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, no
frost fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use.
The great advantage of this appliance is that the
refrigerator and freezer compartments are
ventilated, therefore there is no ice or frost
formation on the walls, thanks to the process
described below. The cold is produced by an
evaporator and distributed to the single
compartments by means of a fan.
The air, after circulating in the compartments, is
absorbed again by the evaporator, which also
retains any humidity in the air. This prevents frost
from forming on the compartment walls,
therefore there is no need to defrost the
appliance.
The humidity absorbed by the evaporator is
transformed into water, which is automatically
routed to a container located on the compressor,
from where it evaporates. The ventilated
refrigeration system guarantees optimal food
storage, maintaining the original characteristics
longer.
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, make sure that the appliance
is undamaged and that the door closes
properly. Any damage must be reported to
your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of
the appliance.
2. Wait at least two hours before switching the
appliance on 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 safety
regulations.
4. Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.
1. Packing
The packaging material is 100% recyclable and
carries the recycling symbol. Disposal must be
carried out in accordance with local regulations
for waste disposal.
Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children,
as they are potentially dangerous.
2. Scrapping
The appliance is manufactured using recyclable
material.
Before scrapping, make the appliance unusable
by cutting off the power cable and removing the
doors and shelves so that children cannot easily
climb inside the appliance.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with
local environmental regulations for waste
disposal. Deliver the appliance immediately to
an authorized dump; do not leave it unattended
even for a few days, since it is potentially
dangerous for children.
3. Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced
with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600a).
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a):
Isobutane is a natural gas with low
environmental impact. Caution is required,
however, since isobutane is flammable.
Therefore, it is essential to ensure that
refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.
4. Declaration of conformity
