BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

• Your new appliance is designed exclusively for 

domestic use

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, make sure that the appliance 

is undamaged and that the door closes 
properly. Any damage must be reported to 
your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of 
the appliance.

2. Wait at least two hours before switching the 

appliance on in order to ensure the refrigerant 
circuit is fully efficient.

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 safety regulations

4. Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.

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. Scrapping

material. 
This appliance is marked according to the 
European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste 
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, 
you will help prevent potential negative 
consequences for the environment and human 
health, which could otherwise be caused by 
inappropriate waste handling of this product. 

The symbol 

 on the product, or on the 

documents accompanying the product, indicates 
that this appliance may not be treated as 
household waste. Instead it shall be handed over 
to the applicable collection point for the 
recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. 
Before scrapping, make the appliance unusable 
by cutting off the power cable and removing the 
doors and shelves so that children cannot easily 
climb inside the appliance.

local environmental regulations for waste disposal.

Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced 
with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600a). 
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a):
isobutane is a naturally occurring, low 
environmental impact gas. Caution is required, 
however, because isobutane is flammable. 
Therefore, it is essential to ensure that 
refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.
