Safety precautions

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Keep the instruction handbook in a safe place; it contains important information which must be applied when installing, using and servicing the refrigerator. The handbook must be kept so that it can be passed on to any subsequent owners of the appliance.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to comply with the following precautions:

-Do not attempt to operate a damaged appliance: in case of doubt, contact your dealer.

-The appliance must be installed and connected to the electrical mains in full compliance with the instructions provided in the handbook. The electrical connection conditions must be as specified on the nameplate, which is in the bottom left-hand corner of the body of the refrigerator. The appliance's electrical safety is only guaranteed if the household electrical system is earthed in accordance with the relevant regulations.

-Make sure that all repairs and servicing are only carried out by authorised engineers from the Smeg after-sales service. Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains in case of breakdown and maintenance, when changing light-bulbs or during cleaning. Never defrost using electrical devices or steam cleaners. Never remove frost or ice with sharp items, as this may cause irreparable damage to the walls of the refrigerator.

-Never attempt to move the refrigerator by pulling on the door or the handle.

-High-alcohol drinks must only be stored sealed and vertical. Never store liquids in cans or glass containers in the freezer compartment, especially if they contain added carbon dioxide. Never store products containing gases, flammable propellants or explosive substances in the freezer: explosion hazard!

-Do not use electrical equipment (such as ice cream makers or blenders) inside the appliance.

-To ensure the refrigerator operates correctly, never obstruct or cover the air ducts in any way.

-Never touch frozen products taken straight from the freezer or put them in your mouth. Burn hazard due to the very low temperatures.

-Never eat or drink foods which look or smell strange.

-Never allow children to play with the refrigeratorand use the drawers, shelves or other parts of the appliance only as described in this handbook; never use them for purposes other than

those for which they are designed.

In case of electricity blackout, open the door(s) as little as possible. Once partly or completely thawed, frozen foods must not be re-frozen.

Caution:

this refrigerator contains isobutane (R600a); this refrigerant gas is CFC-free but combustible. When transporting, installing, cleaning and repairing the refrigerator, take care not to damage any parts of the refrigeration circuit to prevent the risk of gas leaks. In case of damage, do not use naked lights and ventilate the room containing the appliance appropriately.

2. INTENDED USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR

The appliance is specifically constructed for domestic use and is therefore suitable for the refrigeration and storage of fresh and frozen foods and the production of ice-cubes. The appliance has not been designed or manufactured for professional use. Smeg declines all responsibility for damage deriving from improper use of the appliance. The refrigerator has undergone all necessary tests regarding tightness of the refrigeration circuit and complies with the safety regulations for electrical appliances.

Caution:

the manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the use of non-original spare parts.
