Safety - a good habit to get into.
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) ans 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 elimina- tion of readio 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 refrigerate 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 installed be- tween cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or danger- ously 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 appliance, especially with wet hands because this could result in injury. Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause burns.
7.Never clean or perform maintenance on the appliance with- out first removing the plug from the socket; in fact, turning the
knob for adjusting the temperature to the 
· setting is not sufficient to eliminate all electrical contact with the mains.
8.Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal, remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent chil- dren who might play in or around the appliance from being locked inside.
9.Before calling for service/assistance in the case of malfunc- tion, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem? to deter- mine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem. do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal compo- nents of the appliance.
10.If the power supply cord must be replaced, please contact one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases, the con- nections are made using special terminals and in others a special tool must be used to access the connections.
11.Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the manufacturer.
12.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.
