BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR

Your new appliance is a combined fridge-freezer 

exclusively for domestic use.

The 

freezer compartment

 

can be used 

for freezing fresh and cooked food, making ice 

cubes, and storing frozen and deep-frozen food; 

defrosting is a manual procedure

. The 

refrigerator compartment

, which has an 

automatic defrost

 feature, is used for the storage 

of fresh food and beverages.

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, 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 

manufacturer's 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.

Information:

This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced with 

R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600a - Isobutane). 

For more information, refer to the identification data 

plate affixed to the appliance.
