Safety - a good habit to get into.

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 ap- proval mark (IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements. It also meets the EC standards on the preven- tion and elimination of radio interference (EC directive 87/ 308 - 02.06.89).

1.This appliance is designed to be used indoors and under no circumstances should it be installed outside even if protected by a roof. Leaving the appliance exposed to the rain and whether is exceedingly dangerous.

2.The appliance should be used only by adults and exclusively for storing foodstuffs in compliance with the instructions pro- vided in this manual. Under no circumstances should children be allowed to operate, or tamper with, this product.

3.Do not attempt to operate or handle this appliance when barefoot, or with wet hands or feet.

4.It is highly recommended that you do not operate this appli- ance by connecting it to the power supply with extensions or multiple socket plugs. If the refrigerator has been installed be- tween two cabinets, make sure that the supply chord is not dan- gerously crimped or trapped beneath a heavy object.

5.Never pull the cable or the appliance to remove the plug from the socket; this is exceedingly dangerous.

6.Do not touch the internal cooling elements, especially if your hands are wet, since you could burn or hurt yourself. Do not

place ice cubes straight from the freezer into your mouth as this may result in burns.

7.Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home).

8.Before disposing of your old appliance, remember to break or remove the lock as a safety measure to protect children who might lock themselves inside the appliance when playing. In ad- dition, if the appliance is a new one with a lock, keeo the key out of the reach of small children.

9.If your appliance is not operating properly, read the chapter entitled, “Trouble Shooting”, which might help you resolve the problem, before calling an after-sales service centre. Do not at- tempt to repair the appliance by tampering with the internal components.

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.

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, there- fore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with an opening (window or French window) that provide the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important that the room not be too humid.

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

-a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and any cabinets above it;

-a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Away from Heat

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

Level

The appliance must be level. If the floor is not level, the adjust- able feet located in front can be used to level the appliance.

Electrical Connection and Earthing

Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located within the freezer, 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 fit- ted with an earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be held liability 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 within the freezer.

Before making the electrical connection ...

After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions properly.
