Safety
Before switching on the appliance for the rst time do…
▶make sure there is no transport damage.
▶make sure all packaging is removed and is kept out of children´s
reach.
▶wait at least two hours after installing appliance before using to
ensure refrigerant circuit is fully ecient.
▶handle the appliance always with at least two persons because it
is heavy.
▶install the appliance in a well-ventilated place. Ensure a space of at
least 5cm above and 5cm around the appliance. Install and level
the appliance in an area suitable for its size and use.
▶keep ventilation openings in the appliance or in the in-built struc-
ture clear of obstruction.
▶make sure that the electrical information on the rating plate
agrees with the power supply. If it does not, contact an electrician.
▶consider that the appliance is operated by a 220~240 VAC/50 Hz
power supply. Abnormal voltage uctuation may cause the appli-
ance to fail to start or not to operate correctly and damage the
temperature control or compressor, originating abnormal noise
too. To eliminate abnormal uctuation it is suggested to use an
automatic regulator.
▶use a separate earthed socket for the power supply which is easily ac-
cessible. The appliance must be earthed. Make sure the plug is eas-
ily accessible.
▶ensure that the power cable is not trapped by the refrigerator. Do
not step on the power cable.
WARNING!
Make sure not to damage the electric cable and the plug. If dam-
aged it must only be re-placed by either the manufacturer or the
authorised service agent.

Safety
Before switching on the appliance for the rst time do not…
x install the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat (eg
stoves, heaters).
x damage the refrigerant circuit. If it does become damaged, do not
use the appliance.
x use multi-plug adapters and extension cables.
During daily use do…
▶ensure this appliance is only used by adults or those aged over 8
years of age. People with reduced physical, sensory or mental ca-
pabilities should be supervised or be instructed how to use in a
safe way and understand hazards involved.
▶keep away children under 3 years of age from the appliance unless
they are constantly supervised.
▶make sure children are not playing with the appliance.
▶make sure children are supervised if they carry out cleaning and
maintenance.
▶hold the plug, not the cable, when unplugging the appliance.
▶replace a damaged supply cord only by the manufacturer, its ser-
vice agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
▶follow these instructions if coal, gas or other ammable gas is leak-
ing in the vicinity of the appliance: turn o the valve of the leaking
gas, open the doors and windows and do not unplug or plug in the
power cable of the appliance or any other appliance.
▶open and close the doors only with the handles. The gap between
the doors and between the doors and the cabinet is very narrow.
Do not extend your hands in these areas to avoid pinching your n-
gers. Open or close the refrigerator doors only when there are no
children standing within the range of door movement.
▶disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before under-
taking any routine maintenance. Allow at least 5 minutes before
restarting the appliance, as frequent starting may damage the
compressor.
▶eliminate the dust on the back of the unit at least once in the year
to avoid hazard by re, as well as increased energy consumption.
▶notice that the product is set for operation at a specic ambient
range between 16 and 38°C. The appliance may not work properly
if it is left for a long period at a temperature above or below the
7

Safety
indicated range.
▶check the condition of food if an increase in the freezer tempera-
ture has occurred.
During daily use do not…
x set unnecessarily low temperature in the refrigerator compart-
ment. Minus temperatures may occur at high settings. Attention:
bottles can burst.
x store medicines which need a precision storage temperature or
bacteria or chemical agents in the appliance.
x store liquids in bottles or cans (besides high percentage spirits)
especially carbonated beverages in the freezer, as these will burst
during freezing.
x place unstable articles (heavy objects, containers lled with water)
on the top of the appliance, to avoid personal injury caused by fall-
ing or electric shock caused by contact with water.
x pull on the door shelves. The door may be pulled slant, the bottle
rack, may be pulled away, or the appliance may topple.
x damage the refrigerant circuit. If it does become damaged, do not
use the appliance.
x step on the freezer storage compartment door or drawer.
x touch the inside surface of the freezer storage compartment
when in operation, especially with wet hands, as your hands may
freeze onto the surface.
x touch frozen goods with wet hands (wear gloves). Especially do
not eat ice lollies immediately after removal from the freezer com-
partment. There is the risk to freeze or the formation of frost blis-
ters. First aid: keep immediately under running cold water. Do not
pull away!
x scrape o frost and ice with sharp objects. Do not use sprays, elec-
tric heaters, hair dryers, steam cleaners or other sources of heat in
order to avoid damage to the plastic parts.
x use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrost-
ing process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
x clean the appliance with hard brushes, wire brushes, detergent
powder, petrol, amyl acetate, acetone and similar organic solu-
tions, acid or alkaline solutions. Please clean with special refrigera-
tor detergent to avoid damage.
