PRODUCT SAFETY

ATTENTION

Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your appliance.

Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards (EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark (IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements. It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimi- nation of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).

1.This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to leave it exposed to rain or storms.

2.It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refriger- ate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use contained in this manual.

3.Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or with wet hands or feet.

4.It is highly recommended that you do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is in- stalled between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or dangerously pinched or compressed.

5.Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the plug from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.

6.Never touch the cooling components within the appli- ance, especially with wet hands because this could result in injury.

7.Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause burns.

8.Never clean the appliance or perform maintenance without first disconnecting it from the electrical mains. Turning the

thermostat knob to the setting does not suffice to break all electrical contact with the mains.

9.Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal, remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent children who might play in or around the appliance from being locked inside.

10.Before calling for service/assistance in the case of mal- function, consult the chapter entitled “Troubleshooting" to determine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem. Do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the in- ternal components of the appliance.

11.If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance must necessarily be replaced by our service centre because special tools are required for replacement.

12.Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the manufacturer.

13.At the end of the functional life of your appliance – containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and perhaps gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit – the latter should made safe before being sent to the dump. For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local Organisation in charge of waste disposal.

INSTALLATION

To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to reduce energy consumption, it is important that the appliance is installed correctly.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Avoid placing refrigerator in direct sunlight, or next to an electric stove or similar appliance. Areas not adequately ventilated are not suitable for this appliance.

During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, hob or the like.

Electrical Connection and Earthing

Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the bottom left near the fruit and vegetable crisper, corresponds

to the mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted with a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety standards for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with an earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages and/or injuries arising out of the use of the appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.

Position the appliance in such a way that you can access the socket where it is plugged in.

Insufficient power?

The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.

Before making the electrical connection ...

After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the verti- cal upright position and wait at least 3 hours before insert- ing the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it func- tions properly.
