BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
In order to maximise the performance of your
refrigerator, carefully read the user
instructions and the attached product sheet,
which provide useful food conservation tips
and a description of the appliance. Keep this
booklet for future reference.
• The product you have purchased is an automatic
refrigerator, or a refrigerator with a low
temperature compartment (see attached
product sheet), and is for domestic use only.
The refrigerator compartment defrosts
automatically and is used for the preservation of
fresh foods and drinks.
The
low temperature
compartment, if featured, is used for the
conservation of deep-frozen and frozen foods
and for making ice-cubes; defrosting is manual.
1. After unpacking, check the refrigerator for
damage and make sure the doors close
properly. Any damage must be reported to the
retailer within 24 hrs of delivery.
2. Leave the appliance standing in a vertical
position for at least 2 hours before
connecting it to the power supply (to allow
the refrigerant circuit time to settle).
3. Make sure that the installation and electrical
connection are carried out by a qualified
technician in compliance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and local safety
regulations.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
1. Packaging
The packaging material is 100% recyclable, as
confirmed by the recycling symbol. Follow local
regulations for waste disposal.
Keep potentially hazardous packaging (plastic bags,
polystyrene, etc.) out of the reach of children.
2. Product
The refrigerator has been manufactured using
recyclable materials. Follow local waste disposal
regulations when scrapping. Cut off the power
cable to prevent connection to the mains.
Dispose of the appliance at your local recycling
plant for refrigerant gases.
Information:
This appliance is free of CFC’s (refrigerant circuit
contains R134a) or free of HFC’s ( refrigerant circuit
contains R600a - Isobutane). For more details,
please refer to the rating plate on the appliance.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Only use the refrigerator compartment to
store fresh foods only and the low temperature
compartment to store deepfrozen foods and
making ice-cubes.
• Do not cover or close the air vents.
• Do not put glassware containers holding liquids in
the low temperature compartment since they
may explode.
• Do not eat ice-cubes or ice-lollies immediately
after taking them out of the low temperature
compartment, since they may cause cold-burns.
• To prevent the risk of trapping and suffocation,
do not allow children to play or hide inside the
refrigerator.
• Before cleaning or servicing the appliance,
always unplug it or switch off the mains
power supply.
• The power cable may only be replaced by
authorized personnel.
Declaration of conformity
• This appliance is designed to store food products
and complies with European Directive
89/109/EEC.
For appliances with Isobutane (R600a)
The refrigerant Isobutane is a natural gas of high
environmental compatibility but which is
inflammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that
the ducts of the refrigerant circuit do not get
damaged.
