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

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
OFF (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.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of
experience and knowledge unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance

by a person responsible for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

• 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 should contact
their local authority or retailer for information concerning the
correct disposal of their old appliance.

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).

Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance
(see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.

The internal light does not illuminate.

• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or

not far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the
house.

• The TEMPERATURE CONTROL Knob is on OFF setting.

The refrigerator do not cool well.

• The door do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
• The door are opened too frequently.
• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct

position

• The refrigerator have been over-filled.

The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.

• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct

position.

• The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the

refrigerator.
