Safety Precautions
12
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Keep the instruction handbook in a safe place; it contains important information which must be applied
when installing, using and servicing the
appliance. The handbook must be kept so that it can be passed
on to any subsequent owners of the appliance.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to comply with the following precautions:
- Moderate-temperature appliance intended f
or storing specific foods or drinks at a higher temperature
than in the fresh food storage compartment.
- Do not attempt to operate a damaged appliance: in case of doubt, contact your dealer.
- The appliance must be installed and connected to the electrical m
ains in full compliance with the
instructions provided in the handbook. The electrical connection conditions must be asspecified onthe
nameplate, which is in the top left-hand corner of the body of the appliance.
The appliance's
electrical safety is only
guaranteed if the household electrical system is earthed in accordance with the
relevant regulations.
- Make sure that all repairs and servicing are only carried out
by authorised engineers from the Smeg
after-sales service. Always disconnect the appliance
from the electrical mains in case of breakdown
and maintenance, when changing light-
bulbs or during cleaning. Never defrost using electrical devices
or steam cleaners. Never remove frost or ice with sharp items,
as this may cause irreparable damage
to the walls of the appliance.
- Never attempt to move the appliance by pulling on the door or the handle.
- High-alcohol drinksmust only be stored sealed andvertical.
Never store explosive items, such as spray
cans with flammable propellants, in this appliance.
- Do not use electrical equipment (such as ice cream makers or blenders) inside the appliance.
- To ensure the appliance operates correctly, never obstruct or cover the air ducts in any way.
- Never eat or drink foods which look or smell strange.
-
Never allow children to play with the appliance and use the drawers, shelves or other parts of
the appliance only as describedin this handbook; never use them for purposes other than those
for which they are designed.
- This appliance may be used by childr
en from the age of 8 and by people of reduced physical and
mental ability or lacking in experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised or instructed on
the safe use of the appliance and if they understand the associated risks. Do not allow children
to play
with the appliance. Do not allow unsupervised children to perform cleaning or maintenance operations.
In case of electricity blackout, open the door(s) as little as possible..
Caution: when transporting, installing, cleaning and repairing th
e appliance,take care not to damage any
parts of the refrigeration circuit to prevent the risk of gas leaks. In case of damage, do not use naked
lights and ventilate the room containing the appliance appropriately.
2. INTENDED USE OF THE APPLIANCE
The appliance is intended for use in the home or similar environments (such as hotel rooms) or in non-
working locations in general.
Smeg declines all responsibility for damage deriving from improper use of the appliance. The appliance
has undergone all necessa
ry tests regarding tightness of the refrigeration circuit and complies with the
safety regulations for electrical appliances.
Caution: the manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to
comply with the above
regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the
appliance and the use of non-original spare parts.

Instructions for the installer

3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
3.1 Choosing the site
Always place the appliance in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight
or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside), the appliance can
be used in different temperature conditions:
Class Ambient temperature
SN (Subnormal) from + 10° C to + 32° C
N (Normal) from + 16° C to + 32° C
ST (Subtropical) from + 18° C to + 38° C
T (Tropical) from + 18° C to + 43° C
Never place the appliance close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must
be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from
electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems.
To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the appliance must not be placed too close
to the wall. To
prevent this, fit the two spacers “D” (supplied in the accessories bag) as shown below.
If the appliance is
installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm.
Position the appliance so that the door can be opened fully.
Take care not to scratch or damage the
floor when installing the appliance on parqu
et or linoleum. If necessary, when positioning slide the
appliance over pieces of wood or a mat to the point decided for connection to the electrical mains.
3.2 Positioning and levelling the appliance
Place the appliance on
a firm, level surface.
To compensate for
any unevenness in the floor, the appliance has four adjustable feet.
This gives it added stability and makes it easier to move around and
position. Take great care
when moving the appliance not to
damage the floor (for example, when inst
alling on a parquet floor).
3.3 Electrical connection
Connect the appliance's power supply lead to a mains socket with earth contact, installed in accordance
with electrical safety regulations. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplat
e inside the
appliance. The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in compliance with the
relevant regulations and requirements. The appliance is able to withstand short fluctuations in voltage of
no more than 15% less or 10% more
than the rated voltage stated on the nameplate. If the power supply
lead hasto bereplaced, thisoperationmust only be carriedout byan
authorised Smeg technical service
engineer. The power plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1 Inside light.
2 Thermostat switch.
3 Removable shelves.
4 Top door shelf.
5 Bottle shelf.
6 Bottle/jar container.
When the appliance door is opened, the light comes on; it remains on until the door is completely closed
again.
The appliance produces no noise
while running as it is not fitted with a compressor or moving
mechanical parts.
4.1 Shelves
The appliance comes complete with several shelves which can be set at different heights by placing them
on the runners provided. Then change the position of the shelf or shelves as you require. For easy removal
of all internal accessories, the door has to be opened completely.
4.2 Top door shelf and bottle container
The inside of the door is fitted with a
shelf for storing tubes, small
packages and jars.
The bottom of the door has a shelf to
take vertical bottles and cans.
The top door shelf and the bottle shelf, as well as the bottle/jar container, are not interchangeable and
must not be inverted
after being taken out for cleaning. Otherwise, bottles may fall out when the door is
opened.
The shelf and container can be rem
oved for cleaning. To remove them from the door, tap them upward
with your fist first on one side of the insertion zone and then on the other. Do not place excessively heavy
bottles on the bottle shelf, and place bottles on the shelf gently when loading them.

4.3 Air vents
The ventilation openings low down in the front and sides and high up at the back
must never be
obstructed in any way; this would impair operation of the appliance.
5. SETTING AND SELECTING THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The switch is at the top on the inside, behind the light.
Select the OFF position to switch off the appliance.
Moving the switch from to reduces the temperature.
Important: changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the
frequency with
which the door is opened may affect the appliance's operating temperatures.
6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
6.1 Cleaning the appliance
Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains. Clean the outside using only water and a
gentle liquid detergent or an ordinary detergent for washable surfaces (such as a window-
cleaning
product). Never use products containing abrasives or
substances which may attack the lacquered or
painted parts, acids or chemical solvents. Use a sponge or a soft cloth. Do not use steam cleaners to
clean the inside; we recommend the use of refrigerator-specific disinfectants.
Remove the shelves and access
ories, taking care not to apply excessive force when removing. Follow
the instructions provided in the "Top door shelf and bottle container" section carefully. Never wash
removable plastic parts in the dishwasher; use only warm water and washing-up liquid
or water and
vinegar. Take care not to wet the electrical lighting components with water or detergents. Clean the seals
with warm water and then dry.
To allow the appliance to operate at full
efficiency, periodically also clean the
condenser on the
rear with a brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
Also make a periodic check on the
condensation drip tray at the rear, and
clean it if necessary.

6.2 Switching off the appliance
If the appliance is to be out of use for some time, turn the temperature selector to
OFF.
Then empty the appliance, disconnect it from the mains, and dry any residual
moisture which has collected. Leave the door ajar to prevent the humidity and
trapped air from creating unpleasant smells.
6.3 Practical advice for saving energy
-
Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated place, protected against direct sunlight and well away
from heat sources.
- Do not place hot foods in the appliance. Wait for foods
and drinks to cool to room temperature before
placing them on the shelves.
-
Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the appliance from
warming up too much.
- Clean the condenser (on the rear) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing efficiency.
-
On models equipped with intensive cooling, do not leave this function activated for longer than
absolutely necessary.
- If the appliance is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off.
