Precautions and tips

! 

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:

- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and
subsequent amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
- 2002/96/CE..

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 to store and freeze food

products by adults only and 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 moist 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 set the temperature
adjustment knobs on   (appliance off) 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.

• 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! It

can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

Disposal

• Observe local environmental standards when

disposing packaging material for recycling
purposes.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
requires that old household electrical appliances
must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted
municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the
recovery and recycling of the materials they contain
and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin”
symbol on the product reminds you of your
obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance
it must be separately collected.
Consumers may take their old appliance to public
waste collection areas, other communal collection
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a
retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are
active in the creation of systems to manage the
collection and disposal of old appliances.

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.

• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (

see

Maintenance). A thick layer of ice makes cold
transference to food products more difficult and
results in increased energy consumption.

• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to

ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold
air from escaping (

see Maintenance).
