Important advice and information
This product is intended exclusively for private use and is de-
signed to store and cool food.
The following safety rules must be observed. We do not accept
responsibility or warranty claims from material damage or bod- ily
injury arising from use that is not in compliance with these
instructions.
The product must be installed, secured if necessary, and used in
accordance with the recommendations in this manual and oper-
ating instructions in order to avoid damage and danger caused by
unstable attachment or improper installation.
If the product was transported in a horizontal position, it should be
positioned vertically. Next, you should wait two hours before
connecting it. A small amount of oil may have leaked from the
cooling circuit, and it needs time to run back to the engine before the
product is connected, otherwise it may be damaged.
If the product is on wheels, remember that they are only in- tended
to facilitate small movements.
Do not use them to move the refrigerator across large distances.
Clean the refrigerator for the first time before connecting to the
grid. The plug must be pulled out of the socket before carrying
out any maintenance. Do not pull the cord to unplug; instead, pull the
plug itself out of the socket.
Never place bottles or glass containing liquid in the cooler unless
they are only filled to two-thirds: liquid expands in the cooling
state, and the container may explode.
Do not use other methods than shown in this guide to speed up
defrosting.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the boxes designed to store
frozen foods, unless recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not allow children to play with the product, and keep pets away
from it. Old appliances must immediately be taken out of use. Pull
the plug out of the socket and cut the wire flush with the product.
Restrict use of the door or remove it completely to prevent a child
or animal from getting locked inside.
In the event of problems that cannot be resolved using our ad- vice
(see “Troubleshooting’), please only contact our authorized service
centers or an authorized repair professional.
The cooling circuit of the refrigerator contains the refrigerant
isobutane (R600a), a natural gas that is not polluting; however, it is
flammable. Make sure that none of the cooling circuit com-
ponents are damaged during transportation and installation. In the
event of damage, the cooler/refrigerator must kept away from open
flame and any heat or ignition, and the room must be ventilated.
Only after a proper installation that complies with the recom-
mendations given in this manual is it possible to store food under the
proper conditions and achieve optimized power consump- tion.
To limit electricity usage:
- Place the refrigerator in an appropriate place.
- The door must be opened for as short a time as possible.
Do not place food that is still warm in the cooler, especially
soup or other dishes that emit steam.
- Make sure to keep the product functioning optimally by
cleaning the condenser regularly (see “Regular Maintenance
Product”).
- Check the seals around the door regularly, and make sure
that they close properly at all times. If not, contact the
service department.
In accordance with the latest environmental protection regula- tions,
this product contains no CFCs. It does, however, contain a cooling
gas called R600a. The exact type of gas is clearly stated on the plate
located on the inside of the refrigerator at the bot- tom left.
R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not destroy the ozone
layer, and thus does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
This product may emit trickling sounds. This is normal, and is due to
the interplay between compressor oil and refrigerant.

Transport and handling
The refrigerator should always be carefully lifted from the bot- tom

than 45 degrees. Do not use the handle to lift or support. Never

it may become stuck. When indoors, move the re- frigerator by
using the two rear feet with wheels and allowing the refrigerator tilt
slightly.
