storing fresh food and beverages and use the
freezer compartment only for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food and making ice
cubes.

After installation, make sure that the
appliance is not standing on the power supply
cable.
•
Do not store glass containers with liquids in
the freezer since they may burst.
•
Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
after taking them out of the freezer since they
may cause cold burns.

cleaning, always unplug the appliance or
disconnect the power supply.

Ensure that the vent outlets on the appliance
casing or housing unit are unobstructed in
order to allow correct air circulation.
•
All appliances equipped with an ice maker or
water dispenser must be connected to a
mains water supply that delivers potable
water only (with water pressure between 1.7
and 8.1 bar (25 and 117 PSI)). Ice makers and/
or water dispensers not directly connected to
a mains water supply must be filled with
potable water only.
•
Install and level the appliance on a floor strong
enough to take its weight and in an area
suitable for its size and use.

ranges, according to the climatic class
indicated on the data plate: The appliance may
not work properly if it is left for a long period
at a temperature above or below the
indicated range.
