IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When throwing away an old fridge equipped with a door lock
that cannot be opened from the inside, make sure that the
lock is removed, disabled or destroyed before discarding.
This will make it impossible for children to accidentally lock
themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.
The appliance must be properly connected to an electrical
power supply (See: "Connection to Power Supply".)
If the food has a strange smell or color throw it away
because it is very likely that it is spoiled and therefore is
dangerous to consume.
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply
before cleaning the appliance or attempting repairs.
WARNING: Repairs should be performed by qualified service
personnel only.
Do not defrost the appliance with other electric appliance (for
example a hair dryer) and never attempt to scrape/remove
ice/frost with sharp objects. Use only enclosed tools or tools
recommended by the manufacturer.
The rating plate containing Model No/Serial No and other
technical data specific to this unit, is located either inside the
appliance or outside on the rear wall.
DISPOSING WORN OUT
APPLIANCES
The refrigerator system of the appliance is filled with refrig-
erant and insulating substances which should be separately
treated and processed. Call your nearest authorized service
agent or specialized servicing center. If you are unable to
locate one, contact your local authorities or your distributor.
Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the
appliance.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the
weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, close it
as soon as possible.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ven-
tilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance.)
Set the thermostat from cooler to warmer settings whenever
possible (depending on how loaded the appliance is, ambient
temperatures etc.)
Before loading the appliance with packages of hot foods,
make sure that they are cooled to ambient temperature.
(soups)
Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean
the appliance as soon as the frost layer is 3-5mm thick.
If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy
consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency,
replace the gasket.
Always consider instructions stated in sections "Choosing the
right location" and "Energy Saving Tips", otherwise the
energy consumption is substantially higher.
