The appliance was designed and manufactured in
compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.
This appliance complies with the following
Community Directives:

General safety
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside
the home and is not intended for commercial or
industrial use.
• The appliance must be used by adults only to store
and freeze food products according to the
instructions in this manual.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet
or damp hands and feet.
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off
the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical
supply.
It is not sufficient to hold the ON/OFF button down for
more than two seconds to eliminate all electrical
contact.
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the
appliance.
• Do not use devices or tools other than the special
scraper provided inside the compartments.
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer
into your mouth.
Precautions and tips
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or
play with the appliance. Under no circumstance
should they be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang
from the door.
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children.
Disposal
• Observe local environmental standards when
disposing of packaging material for recycling
purposes.
• Observe existing legislation and make use of services
provided by local authorities, ensuring that the pipes
are not damaged.
Refrigerants such as isobutane and cyclopentane are
located in the cooling zones and the isolation system
of the refrigerator and freezer.
• Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the cable
and remove any door catches before disposal.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight
and do not place it near heat sources.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods
or opening the door too frequently in order to
conserve energy.
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air
must circulate freely for food to be preserved
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will
work continuously.
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The
internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping (
see Maintenance).
