BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
•
Your new appliance is exclusively for domestic
use.
The
freezer compartment
can be
used for freezing fresh and cooked food,
making ice cubes, and storing frozen and deep-
frozen food;
defrosting is a manual
procedure
.
The refrigerator compartment, which has
an automatic defrost feature,
is used for the
storage of fresh food and beverages.
To get the most out of your new appliance,
read the user handbook thoroughly. The
handbook contains a description of the
appliance and useful tips for storing food.
Keep this handbook for future
consultation.
1.
After unpacking the appliance, check for
damage and make sure that the door shuts
properly. Any damage must be reported to
your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of the
appliance.
2. Wait at least three hours without moving
the appliance before switching on. This will
give the refrigerant circuit time to settle
and operate efficiently.
3.
Installation of the appliance and electrical
connections must be carried out by a qualified
electrician, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and local
regulations.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
1.
Packing
The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and
marked with the recycling symbol.
Follow local regulations for scrapping.
Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as
they are potentially dangerous.
2. Scrapping
The appliance is made using recyclable materials.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with
local environmental regulations for waste disposal.

power cord.
The appliance must be delivered to an authorized

Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs
(replaced with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with
R600a - Isobutane). For more information, refer to
the identification data plate affixed to the appliance.
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a)
Isobutane is a natural gas with low environmental
impact. Caution is required, however, since
isobutane is flammable. Therefore, it is essential to
ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.
