The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to comply with the following precautions:
- Moderate-temperature appliance intended for storing specific foods or drinks at a higher temperature
than in the fresh food storage compartment.
- Do not attempt to operate a damaged appliance: in case of doubt, contact your dealer.
- The appliance must be installed and connected to the electrical mains in full compliance with the
instructions provided in the handbook. The electrical connection conditions must be as specified on the
nameplate,
which is in the top left-hand corner of the body of the appliance.
The appliance's
electrical safety is only guaranteed if the household electrical system is earthed in accordance with the
relevant regulations.
- Make sure that all repairs and servicing are only carried out
by authorised engineers from the Smeg
after-sales service.
Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains in case of breakdown
and maintenance, when changing light-bulbs or during cleaning. Never defrost using electrical devices
or steam cleaners. Never remove frost or ice with sharp items,
as this may cause irreparable damage
to the walls of the appliance.

cans with flammable propellants, in this appliance.

the appliance only as described in this handbook; never use them for purposes other than those
for which they are designed.
