PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Use the refrigerator compartment only for
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.
• Before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning, always unplug the appliance or
disconnect the power supply.
• Make sure that the appliance is not near a heat
source.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
• To ensure proper ventilation leave a 1 cm space
on both sides and above the refrigerator.
• 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.
• Install the appliance in a dry and well-ventilated
place. The appliance is set for operation at
specific ambient temperature 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.
• Be careful not to damage the floors when you
move the appliance (e.g. parquet flooring).
• Do not use mechanical devices or any means
other than those recommended by the
manufacturer to speed up the defrosting
process.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the
freezer compartments, unless such appliances
are specifically recommended by the
manufacturer.

children or the infirm.
• To avoid the risk of children being trapped and
therefore suffocating, do not allow them to play
or hide inside the appliance.
• The power cable may only be replaced by an
authorized person.
• Do not use extension leads or adapters.
• It must be possible to disconnect the appliance
from the mains by unplugging it or by means of
a two-pole switch fitted upline of the socket.
• Ensure that the voltage indicated on the
appliance data plate corresponds to the
domestic supply voltage
• Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the
ice packs (if provided).
