• Make sure the appliance is not near a heat
source.
• Install and level the appliance on a floor
strong enough to take its weight and in a
place suitable for its size and use.
• The appliance is arranged for operation in
places where the temperature comes within
the following ranges, according to the climatic
class given on the rating plate. The appliance
may not work properly if it is left for a long
time at a temperature outside the specified
range.
Climatic Class Amb. T. (°C)
SN From 10 to 32
N From 16 to 32
ST From 16 to 38
T From 16 to 43
• Make sure the voltage specified on the rating
plate corresponds to that of your home.
SAFE USE
• Do not store or use petrol, flammable liquids
or gas in the vicinity of this or other electrical
appliances. The fumes can cause fires or
explosions.
• Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of
the ice packs (in some models).
• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
after taking them out of the freezer since they
may cause cold burns.
• For products designed to use an air filter
inside an accessible fan cover, the filter shall
be always in position when the refrigerator is
in function.
• Before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning operation, unplug the appliance or
disconnect it from the power supply.
• Use the refrigerator compartment only
for storing fresh food and the freezer
compartment only for storing frozen food,
freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.
• Do not store glass containers with liquids
in the freezer compartment since they may
break.
• Avoid storing unwrapped food in direct

specifically designed for domestic appliances
and is not suitable for general room lighting
within the home (EC Regulation 244/2009)”.
The Manufacturer declines any liability for
injury to persons or animals or damage
to property if the above advice and
precautions are not respected.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
• Insufficient ventilation on back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling
efficiency.
• The internal temperatures of the appliance may be affected by the ambient temperature,
frequency of door opening, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take
into consideration these factors.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the fan (if available) with food items.
• After placing the food check if the door of compartments closes properly, especially the freezer
door.
• Reduce to a minimum door opening.
• When thawing frozen food, place them in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the refrigerator.
