IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND ADVICE
It is very important that you keep this instruction booklet together with the appliance for future refe-
rence. If the appliance should be sold or transferred to others, make sure that the instruction book-
let is included with it so that the new owner can become acquainted with its operation and the infor-
mation concerning it.
If this appliance - fitted with a magnetic lock - is to replace one fitted with a spring lock, we recom-
mend that you make the spring lock unserviceable before setting the old appliance aside. The pur-
pose of this operation is to prevent children from becoming accidentally locked inside the refrigera-
tor, thus endangering their lives. This information is provided for your safety and that of others.
Therefore, please read this information carefully before installing and using the appliance.
Safety
• This appliance is designed to be used by adults.
See to it that children neither touch it nor use it as
if it were a toy.
• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning it
inside and outside, and before replacing the lamp
(for those models that are equipped with one).
• Do not eat certain products such as ice lollies as
soon as they are taken out of the appliance since
the very low temperature they are stored at may-
cause burns.
• This appliance is heavy. Be careful whenever it
has to be moved.
• Pay very close attention when moving the
appliance so as to not damage elements of
the cooling circuit and to prevent the risk of
leaks of coolant.
• The appliance must not be placed near radia-
tors or gas cookers.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to
rays of sunlight.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation behind the
appliance and prevent any damage from
being done to the cooling circuit.
• Only for freezers (except for the case of built-
in models): one ideal place is the cellar.
• Do not put electric devices inside the appli-
ance (an ice-cream maker, for example).

that proves necessary for installing the appliance
is to be performed by qualified personnel only.

ling circuit; maintenance and recharging must be
performed by authorised personnel only.

the appliance on your own. Repairs made by
unqualified personnel may cause damage.

Installation

is not sitting on the power cable.
Important: if the power cable becomes dama-
ged, replace it with a special cable or with an
assembly available from the manufacturer or the
after-sales technical service centre.
• The appliance heats up considerably on the con-
denser and compressor levels. Make sure that air
circulates freely around the appliance. Insufficient
ventilation may result in malfunctioning and dam-
age to the appliance. Follow the installation
instructions.
• The air inside the compressor could run into the
cooling circuit due to the transport system. Wait at
least 2 hours before connecting the appliance to
the electric network in order to allow the oil to flow
back into the compressor.

used only for storing and/or freezing foods and
