• Keep the appliance ventilation openings free.
• Do not damage the appliance refrigerant circuit
pipes.
• Install and level the appliance on a floor strong
enough to take its weight and in a place suitable for
its size and use.
• Install the appliance in a dry and well-ventilated
place. The appliance is arranged for operation in
places where the temperature comes within the
following ranges, according to the climatic class
given on the rating plate.
The appliance may not work properly if it is left for a
long time at a temperature outside the specified
range.
• Make sure the voltage specified on the rating plate
corresponds to that of your home.
• Do not use single/multi adapters or extension cords.
• For the water connection, use the pipe supplied with
the new appliance; do not reuse that of the previous
appliance.
• Power cable modification or replacement must only
be carried out by qualified personnel.
• It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the power supply by unplugging it or by means of a
mains two-pole switch installed upstream of the
socket.
Safety
• Do not store or use petrol, flammable liquids or gas
in the vicinity of this or other electrical 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 designed for use by young
children or the infirm without supervision.
• 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 since they may burst.
The Manufacturer declines any liability if the above
advice and precautions are not respected.
