1. SAFETY NOTICES
Keep the instruction booklet in a safe place as it contains important instructions which must be followed
when installing, using and maintaining the freezer. The manual must be kept so that it can be handed
over to any later owners of the appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable if the following notices are not respected:
- Do not start up an appliance which appears damaged: if in doubt, consult the supplier.
- The appliance must be installed and connected to the power grid fully in accordance with the
instructions in the manual. The electrical connection conditions must match the data provided on the
nameplate
located at the top left inside the freezer
. The electrical safety of the appliance is only
guaranteed if the electrical equipment is properly earthed.
- Do not use single or multiple adaptors or extension cables.
- Disconnection from the electricity supply must be possible either by pulling out the plug or via a
bipolar circuit breaker located upline of the plug socket.
- Ensure that repairs and maintenance are carried out by
authorised technicians from Smeg's
technical support service only
. Always disconnect the appliance from the power grid in the event of
a breakdown or maintenance, or during cleaning. Never use electrical equipment or steam cleaners
for defrosting. Do not remove frost or ice using sharp objects
as these may cause irreparable
damage to the walls of the freezer.
- Do not attempt to move the freezer by pulling on the door or the handle.
- Keep alcoholic liquids with a high alcohol content hermetically sealed and exclusively vertically. Do
not keep liquids in tins or glass containers in the freezer, especially carbonated drinks. Do not keep
products containing gases, flammable propellents or explosive substances in the freezer: danger of
explosion!
- Electrical appliances (e.g. ice cream machines or blenders) may not be used inside the appliance.
- Do not obstruct or cover the air circulation pipes in any way as these are required for the proper
operation of the freezer.
- Do not touch frozen products removed straight from the freezer or put them in your mouth. There is a
risk of burns due to the ultra-low temperatures.
- Do not consume food with an abnormal appearance or smell.
- This appliance is not intended for the use of people (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capacities, or who lack experience and knowledge of such appliances, unless they
are supervised or instructed in the use of the appliance by another person who is responsible for their
safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Install the product and ensure that it is level on a floor that is capable of bearing its weight and in a
suitable environment for its size and use.
- The product must be moved and installed by two or more people.
- Do not damage the freezer coolant loop tubes.
- Do not ingest the (non-toxic) liquid in the coolant accumulators (if there are any).
If there is a power cut, open the door as little as possible. Frozen food which has partially or completely
defrosted must not be refrozen.
Attention:
The freezer contains a small quantity of isobutane (R600a), a CFC-free gas refrigerant. During the
freezer transport, installation, cleaning and repair phases, pay attention to avoiding damage to
any part of the coolant loop in order to prevent a gas leak. In the event of damage, avoid naked
flames and ventilate the area where the appliance is located.
