the user handbook which contains a description 
of the appliance and advice on storing and 
preserving food.
Keep this handbook for future consultation.

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.

Wait at least two hours before switching the 
appliance on in order to ensure the refrigerant 
circuit is fully efficient.

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 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. Scrapping

The appliance is manufactured using recyclable 
material. 
This appliance is marked according to the European 
directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and 
Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
By ensuring that this appliance is scrapped suitably, 
you can help prevent potentially damaging 
consequences for the environment and health.
The symbol   on the appliance, or on the 
accompanying documents, indicates that this 
appliance should not be treated as domestic waste 
but must be taken to a suitable collection point for 
the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. 
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. 
For further information on the treatment, recovery 
and recycling of this appliance, contact your 
competent local authority, the collection service for 
household waste or the shop where you purchased 
the appliance.

Information:

This appliance does not contain CFCs (the

refrigerant circuit contains R600a) (see the rating 
plate inside the appliance).
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a):
isobutane is a naturally occurring, low

Therefore, ensure that the pipelines of the 
refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.
