This handbook must be stored together with the appliance

know its operation and the relevant warnings.
•
These warnings have been drafted for your safety: therefore,
please read them carefully before installing and using the
appliance.
•
If the appliance is in a horizontal position during transport.
The oil in the compressor may flow out into the refrigerating
circuit. We therefore advise you to leave the appliance in a
vertical position for 2 hours before start-up, to enable oil to
flow into the compressor.

•
Before you attempt any routine or extraordinary maintenance
operation, disconnect electrical power to the appliance
– when you do this, do not on any account pull the plug by
its cable. Also check if the cable is damaged. If it is, contact
a Service Centre. If the appliance has been moved, when re-
positioned, make sure that the power cable is not crushed
or is not obstructing.
•
IMPORTANT: the appliances are provided with
refrigerant gas, ISOBUTHANE (R600a). The appliance
must be transported and moved, taking maximum care to
ensure that it is not excessively struck or shaken. Failure to
observe the above rule, could put the appliance out of
service. Damage to the refrigerating circuit, with possible
outflow of refrigerating gas, could create risks of explosion
caused by external sparks or flames. Do not, on any account,
run your appliance if it appears to be damaged. In case of
damage, contact the Service Centre, ventilate the room
where the appliance is located, and avoid flames or jobs on
the appliance.
•
Before you connect the appliance to the electrical mains,
make sure that the capacity of the system is adequate
with respect to the data on the serial number plate. Any
modification which may be necessary to the domestic
electrical system, in order to install the appliance, must be
carried out by qualified personnel.
