Precautions and General Recommendations

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.
