7. Never clean the appliance or perform maintenance without

first disconnecting it from the electrical mains. Turning the

thermostat knob to the setting does not suffice to break

all electrical contact with the mains.

8. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal,

remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent

children who might play in or around the appliance from

being locked inside.

9. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of mal-

function, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem?

to determine whether it is possible to eliminate the prob-

lem. do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the

internal components of the appliance.

10. If the power supply cord must be replaced, please con-

tact one of our Customer Service Centers. In some cases,

the connections are made using special terminals and in oth-

ers a special tool must be used to access the connections.

11. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment

for food storage, if these are not those recommended by

the manufacturer.

12. At the end of the functional life of your appliance –

containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and

perhaps gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit –

the latter should made safe before being sent to the dump.

For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local

Organisation in charge of waste disposal.

Installation

To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to

reduce energy consumption, it is important that the

appliance is installed correctly.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and, there-

fore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than

perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the

appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with

an opening (window or French window) that provide the

appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important

that the room not be too humid.

During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the

grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly

exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.

Electrical Connection and Earthing

Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure

that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at the

bottom left near the vegetable crisper, corresponds to the

mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted

with a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety

standards for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with

an earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be held liability

for any damages and or injuries arising out of the use of the

appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.

Position the appliance in such a way that you can access

the socket where it is plugged in.

Insufficient power?

The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum

power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rat-

ing plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable

crisper.

Before making the electrical connection ...

After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the verti-

cal upright position and wait at least 3 hours before insert-

ing the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it func-

tions properly.

ATTENTION

Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions

which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of

your appliance.

Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards

(EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark

(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.

It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimi-

nation of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).

Safety - a good habit to get into.

1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even

in an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to

leave it exposed to rain or storms.

2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refriger-

ate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use

contained in this manual.

3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet

or with wet hands or feet.

4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension

cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is in-

stalled between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not

bent or dangerously pinched or compressed.

5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the

plug from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.

6. Never touch the cooling components within the appli-

ance, especially with wet hands because this could result in

injury. Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer

into your mouth because they could stick to your mouth

and cause burns.
