appliances. The fumes can cause fires or
explosions.
• Do not use mechanical, electric or chemical
means other than those recommended by the
Manufacturer to speed up the defrost process.
• Do not use or place electrical devices inside the
appliance compartments if they are not of the
type expressly authorised by the Manufacturer.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
• To avoid the risk of children becoming trapped
and suffocating, do not allow them to play or
hide inside the appliance.
• Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the
ice packs (in some models).
• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
after taking them out of the freezer since they
may cause cold burns.
USE
• Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning
operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect it
from the power supply.
• All appliances equipped with an automatic ice-
maker and water dispenser must be connected
to a water supply that only delivers drinking
water (with mains water pressure of between
0.17 and 0.81 Mpa (1.7 and 8.1 bar)). Automatic
ice-makers and/or water dispensers not directly
connected to the water supply must be filled
with drinking water only.
• Use the refrigerator compartment only for
storing fresh food and the freezer compartment
only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food
and making ice cubes.
• Do not store glass containers with liquids in the
freezer compartment since they may break.
• Avoid storing unwrapped food in direct contact
with internal surfaces of the refrigerator or
freezer compartments.
The Manufacturer declines any liability if the
above advice and precautions are not
respected.
Short vacation
There is no need to disconnect the appliance from
the power supply if you will be away for less than
three weeks. Use up perishable food, freeze other
food.
If your appliance has an automatic ice maker:
1. Turn it off.
2. Shut off the water supply to the automatic ice
maker.
3. Empty the ice bucket.
Long vacation
Remove all the food if you are going away for three
weeks or more. If your appliance has an automatic
ice maker:
1. Turn it off.
2. Shut off the water supply to the automatic
icemaker at least a day before.
3. Empty the ice bucket.
Fix some wooden or plastic wedges to the upper
part of both doors with adhesive tape and leave the
doors open enough for air to circulate inside both
compartments. This will prevent odour and mould
from setting in.
Moving
1. Take out all internal parts.
2. Wrap them well, and fix them together with
adhesive tape so that they do not bang together
or get lost.
3. Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not
touch the support surface.
4. Close and fix both doors with adhesive tape and,
again using adhesive tape, fix the power cable to
the appliance.
Power failure
In the event of a power failure, call the local office
of your electricity supply company and ask how
long it is going to last. Note: Bear in mind that a full
appliance will stay cold longer than a partially filled
one.
If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be
frozen again, although flavour and aroma may be
affected.
If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best
to throw it away.
For power failures lasting up to 24 hours.
