To reduce the power consumption of the appliance:
- Install it in a suitable place (see chapter "Installing your appliance")
- Keep the doors open for the shortest time possible. Do not load warm food into the refrigerator
or freezer, especially if they are soups or other dishes that release a large amount of steam.
- Check the door seals periodically, and ensure that they always close properly. If not, contact
the after sales service department.
- To obtain the minimum energy consumption, deactivate the ICS function as described on
page 97.
In compliance with the most recent legislation on protecting and respect for the environment,
the appliance does not contain CFCs, but a cooling gas called R600a. The exact type of
cooling gas used in the appliance appears clearly labelled on the specifications plate inside
the refrigerator, on the lower part of the side.
R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not harm the ozone layer and has an almost imper-
ceptible effect on the greenhouse effect.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The materials used for packaging the appliance can be recycled. Play a positive role
in recycling it and help to preserve the environment by throwing it away in the
municipal bins specially for the purpose. The appliance also contains materials
that can be recycled, and carries a label with the symbol stating that appliances
no longer in use must not be placed with other rubbish. This means that the recy-
cling organised by the manufacturer can be carried out under the best possible
conditions, in accordance with the European Union directive 2002/96/EC on waste electric
and electronic equipment. Consult the town council or your sales centre to find out where the
collection points nearest to your home are.
Thank you for helping to protect the environment.
This is a special coating on the inner walls of the refrigerator, containing ions of silver that
prevent the bacteria from developing.
The anti-bacterial coating does not need any special treatment and will remain active
throughout the life of the appliance.
However, the appliance must be cleaned regularly. See the chapter on "Cleaning the appliance".
