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) and 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 elimi- nation 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 pro- tected by a roof. Leaving the appliance exposed to the rain and weather is exceedingly dangerous.

2.The appliance should be used only by adults and exclu- sively for storing foodstuffs in compliance with the instruc- tions provided 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 appliance by connecting it to the power supply with exten- sions or multiple socket plugs. If the refrigerator has been installed between two cabinets, make sure that the supply chord is not dangerously 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.

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.

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

7.Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the gen- eral switch in your home); it is not sufficient to place the main switch "A" on "0" to cut off the power.

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 play- ing.

9.If your appliance is not operating properly, read the chap- ter entitled, “Trouble Shooting”, which might help you re- solve the problem, before calling an after-sales service cen- tre. Do not attempt to repair the appliance by tampering with the internal components.

10.If the power supply cord must be replaced, please con- tact one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases, the connections are made using special terminals and in oth- ers 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.
