BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, no-
frost fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use.
The great advantage of this appliance is that the
refrigerator and freezer compartments are
ventilated, therefore there is no ice or frost
formation on the walls, thanks to the process
described below. The cold is produced by an
evaporator and distributed to the single
compartments by means of a fan.
The air, after circulating in the compartments, is
absorbed again by the evaporator, which also
retains any humidity in the air. This prevents frost
from forming on the compartment walls, as in
traditional appliances, therefore
there is no need
to defrost the appliance.
The humidity absorbed by the evaporator is
transformed into water, which is automatically
routed to a container located on the compressor,
from where it evaporates. The ventilated
refrigeration system guarantees optimal food
storage, maintaining the original characteristics
longer.
To get the most out of your new appliance, read
the user handbook thoroughly. The handbook
contains a description of the appliance and useful
tips for storing food.
Keep this handbook
for future consultation.
1. After unpacking the appliance, check for damage
and make sure that the doors shut properly. Any
damage must be reported to your dealer within
24 hours after delivery of the appliance.
2.Wait at least two hours without moving the
appliance before switching on. This will give
the refrigerant circuit time to settle and
operate efficiently.
3. Installation of the appliance and electrical
connections must be carried out by a qualified
electrician, in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions and local
regulations.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
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.Appliance
The appliance is made using recyclable materials.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with
local environmental regulations for waste disposal.
Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the
power cord. The appliance must be delivered to an
authorised collection centre for the recovery of
refrigerant gas.
