ATTENTION
Read your manual carefully since it contains instruc-
tions, which will ensure safe installation, use and main-
tenance of your appliance.
Your Refrigerator is built to International safety stan-
dards (EN60) and has been awarded the European
approval mark (IMQ) for conformity with UK electrical
safety requirements. It also meets the EC standards on
the prevention and elimination of readio 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 dan-
gerous.
2.
The appliance should be used only by adults and
exclusively for storing foodstuffs in compliance with the
instructions provided in this manual. Under no circum-
stances 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 extensions or multiple socket plugs. If the refrigera-
tor has been installed between two cabinets, make
sure that the supply cord 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 danger-
ous.
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
general switch in your home); it is not sufficient to place the
temperature regulation knob “
” 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 playing. In addition, if the appliance is a new one with
a lock, keep the key out of the reach of small ch ildren.
9.
If your appliance is not operating properly, read the
chapter entitled, “Trouble Shooting”, which might help you to
resolve the problem, before calling an after-sales service
center. Do not attempt to repair the appliance by tamper-
ing 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
others a special tool must be used to access the connec-
tions.
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
gas R134a (tetraphtorethane) 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 Or-
ganisation in charge of waste disposal.
Proper installation of the appliance is essential to
ensure the best and most efficient performance of
your appliance.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and,
therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with
less than perfect ventilation are not very suited for in-
stallation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be in-
stalled in a room with
an opening (window or French window) that provides
the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also
important that the room should not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct
the grates that allow proper ventilation of the appli-
ance. 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.
Levelling
The floor should be perfectly levelled; if not, you can adjust
the feet at the front of the appliance.
Earthing
Before making the electrical connection, check that the
voltage shown on the data plate, that you will find on the
bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper,
corresponds to that of your mains and that the socket is
earthed in conformity with all current electrical regulations. If
the system is not earthed, the manufacturer declines all li-
ability for consequent damages or losses. Do not use
adapters or multiple sockets.
Check the power load
The electrical socket must support the maximum power load
of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom
left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper).
Before plugging the appliance to the mains
Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before
plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper per-
formance.
