1. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For your safety and correct usage, before installing and first using the appliance, read this user manual
carefully, including its hints and warnings.
To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important
to make sure that all people using the appliance are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features.
Save these instructions and be sure that they remain with the appliance if it is moved or sold, so that anyone
using it throughout its life, will be properly informed on its usage and safety notices.
For the safety of life and property, keep the precautions of these user's instructions as the manufacturer is not
responsible for damages caused by omission.
Safety of children and other vulnerable persons
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.
User cleaning and servicing operations should not be carried out by children, unless they are more than
8 years old and are supervised.
Keep all packaging away from children as there is risk of suffocation.
Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
If you are discarding the appliance, pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as close to
the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent children playing from suffering an electric
shock or from closing themselves inside it.
If this appliance, featuring a magnetic door seals, is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock
(latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make the spring lock unusable before you discard the old appliance.
This will prevent it from becoming a death trap for a child.
Keep the appliance and its power cable out of reach of children less than 8 years old.
Before you throw away your old fridge: take off the door. Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
Children from 3 to 8 can load and unload the appliance.
