BEFORE USING THE FREEZER
Your new appliance is a freezer designed
exclusively for domestic use.
To get the most out of your freezer, please
read the instructions carefully. These contain
a description of your appliance as well as
useful tips for storing food.
Keep this handbook for future consultation.
1.
After unpacking the freezer, make sure that the
door shuts properly. Any damage must be
reported to your dealer within 24 hours after
delivery of the appliance.
2.
Wait at least two hours before switching the
appliance on in order to ensure the refrigerant
circuit is fully efficient.
3.
Installation of the appliance and electrical
connections must be carried out by a qualified
electrician, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and local
regulations.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
1. Packing
The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and
marked with the recycling symbol. Follow local
regulations for scrapping.
Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as
they are potentially dangerous.
2. Appliance
The freezer is made of recyclable material. Disposal
must be carried out in accordance with local
environmental regulations for waste disposal.
Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the
power cord. The appliance must be delivered to an
authorised collection centre for the recovery of
refrigerant gas.
Information:
This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced
with R134a) or HFCs
(replaced with R600a - Isobutane). For more
information, refer to the identification data plate
affixed to the appliance.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Only use the freezer for storing frozen food,
freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.
Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the
appliance.
Do not store liquids in glass containers in the
freezer: risk of bursting.
Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
after taking them out of the freezer: risk of "cold"
burns.
Do not allow children to play or hide inside the
freezer: risk of becoming trapped inside and
suffocating.
Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the
ice packs.
Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug
it from the mains or disconnect the electrical
power supply.
The power cable may only be replaced by an
authorised person.
Declaration of conformity
This appliance is intended to come into contact
with foodstuffs and conforms to D.L. 108 of
25.01.1992 (European Directive 89/109/EEC).
Information
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a)
Isobutane is a natural gas with low environmental
impact. Caution is required, however, since
isobutane is flammable. Therefore, it is essential to
ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.
