Safety - a good habit to get into.

ATTENTION

Read your manual carefully since it contains instruc-

tions, which will ensure safe installation, use and

maintenance of your appliance.

Your Refrigerator is built to International safety stan-

dards (EN60) and has been awarded the European ap-

proval mark (IMQ) for conformity with UK electrical

safety requirements. It also meets the EC standards on

the prevention and elimination of readio interference

(EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).

1. This appliance is designed to be used indoors and

under no circumstances should it be installed outside

even if protected by a roof. Leaving the appliance ex-

posed to the rain and whether is exceedingly danger-

ous.

2. The appliance should be used only by adults and

exclusively for storing foodstuffs in compliance with

the instructions provided in this manual. Under no

circumstances should children be allowed to operate,

or tamper with, this product.

3. Do not attempt to operate or handle this appliance

when barefoot, or with wet hands or feet.

4. It is highly recommended that you do not operate

this appliance by connecting it to the power supply

with extensions or multiple socket plugs. If the refrig-

erator has been installed between two cabinets, make

sure that the supply cord is not dangerously crimped or

trapped beneath a heavy

object.

5. Never pull the cable or the appliance to remove the

plug from the socket; this is exceedingly dangerous.

Installation

Proper installation of the appliance is essential to

ensure the best and most efficient performance of

your appliance.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and,

therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with

less than perfect ventilation are not very suited for in-

stallation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be in-

stalled in a room with

an opening (window or French window) that provides

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

important that the room should not be too humid.

During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct

the grates that allow proper ventilation of the appli-

ance. For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must

leave:

- a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and any

cabinets above it;

- a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the ap-

pliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is

6. Do not touch the internal cooling elements, especially if

your hands are wet, since you could burn or hurt yourself.

7. Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from

the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the gen-

eral switch in your home); it is not sufficient to place the

temperature regulation knob "off" to cut off the power.

8. Before disposing of your old appliance, remember to

break or remove the lock as a safety measure to protect chil-

dren who might lock themselves inside the appliance when

playing. In addition, if the appliance is a new one with a

lock, keep the key out of the reach of small children.

9. If your appliance is not operating properly, read the chap-

ter entitled, "Trouble Shooting", which might help you to

resolve the problem, before calling an after-sales service

center. Do not attempt to repair the appliance by tampering

with the internal components.

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

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

connections are made using special terminals and in others 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

gas R134a (tetraphtorethane) 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 Or-

ganisation in charge of waste disposal.

directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the

like.

Levelling

The floor should be perfectly levelled; if not, you can adjust

the feet at the front of the appliance.

Earthing

Before making the electrical connection, check that the volt-

age shown on the data plate, that you will find on the bottom

left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper, corre-

sponds to that of your mains and that the socket is earthed in

conformity with all current electrical regulations. If the sys-

tem is not earthed, the manufacturer declines all liability for

consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or multi-

ple sockets.

Check the power load

The electrical socket must support the maximum power load

of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom left

hand side of the appliance next to the crisper).

Before plugging the appliance to the mains

Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before

plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper per-

formance.
