Smeg CV24A Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance, Storing Time During Power Supply Interruption

Important

•If you've bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for the children to lock themselves in

the appliance and suffocate.

•Mind to connect the appliance correctly to the mains supply (see Connection to the Mains Supply).

•Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance operates, especially not with wet hands, because the skin might stick to the cold surfaces.

•Do not freeze bottled drinks, especially not fizzy ones such as mineral water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., because liquid expands during freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to blow up.

•Never try to eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables), because you may get frostbites.

•Carefully check the foods for color and smell and if you are in doubt about their quality, throw them away because they may be spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.

•Disconnect the appliance from the mains before repairing (only a qualified technician should repair it) and before cleaning.

•Do not defrost the appliance with other electric devices (hair dryer etc.) and never scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp tools. Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer.

•For the sake of environment protection - be careful not to damage the rear wall of the appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes - for example when moving the appliance) or any part of the refrigerating system inside the appliance.

•The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and oil, so when the appliance is damaged, handle it with care and dispose it of in compliance with environmental protecting precautions. (See We Care for the Environment).

•Heating element incorporated in the appliance, all around the rim, is controlled by the operation of the compressor and it prevents the door gasket to freeze on to the freezer housing.

•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

•The rating plate is in the interior or on the rear wall of the appliance.

Storing Time During Power Supply Interruption

Avoid opening the freezer in case of failure or power supply interruption! In case the interruption is extended over longer period of time (17 hours), take food out of the freezer and use it, or make sure it remains well cooled (perhaps you have an extra appliance).

Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance

•When your appliance finally wears out, dispose it of. If the appliance has a lock, break it, in order to prevent eventual accidents (danger of children get locked inside the appliance).

•The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorised service agent or specialised servicing centre. If you don't find one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger of pollution).
