BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
In order to maximise the performance
of your refrigerator, carefully read the
user instructions and the attached
product sheet, which provide useful
food conservation tips and a
description of the appliance. Keep this
booklet for future reference.
• The product you have purchased is an
automatic refrigerator, or a refrigerator with
a low temperature compartment (see
attached product sheet), and is for domestic
use only.
The refrigerator compartment defrosts
automatically and is used for the
preservation of fresh foods and drinks.
The
low temperature
compartment,
if featured, is used for the conservation of
deep-frozen and frozen foods and for
making ice-cubes; defrosting is manual.
1. After unpacking, check the refrigerator for
damage and make sure the doors close
properly. Any damage must be reported to
the retailer within 24 hrs of delivery.
2. Leave the appliance standing in a vertical
position for at least 2 hours before
connecting it to the power supply (to
allow the refrigerant circuit time to
settle).
3. Make sure that the installation and electrical
connection are carried out by a qualified
technician in compliance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and local safety
regulations.
1. Packaging
The packaging material is 100% recyclable, as
confirmed by the recycling symbol. Follow local
regulations for waste disposal.
Keep potentially hazardous packaging (plastic
bags, polystyrene, etc.) out of the reach of
children.
2. Product
The refrigerator has been manufactured
using recyclable materials. Follow local
waste disposal regulations when scrapping.
Cut off the power cable to prevent
connection to the mains.
Dispose of the appliance at your local
recycling plant for refrigerant gases.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
• Only use the refrigerator compartment to
store fresh foods only and the low
temperature compartment to store deep-
frozen foods and making ice-cubes.
• Do not cover or close the air vents.
• Do not put glassware containers holding
liquids in the low temperature compartment
since they may explode.
• Do not eat ice-cubes or ice-lollies
immediately after taking them out of the
low temperature compartment, since they
may cause cold-burns.
• To prevent the risk of trapping and
suffocation, do not allow children to play or
hide inside the refrigerator.
• Before cleaning or servicing the
appliance, always unplug it or switch
off the mains power supply.
• The power cable may only be replaced
by authorized personnel.
Declaration of conformity
• This appliance is designed to store food
products and complies with European
Directive 89/109/EEC.
For appliances with Isobutane (R600a)
The refrigerant Isobutane is a natural gas of
high environmental compatibility but which
is inflammable. Therefore, it is essential to
ensure that the ducts of the refrigerant cir-
cuit do not get damaged.
