The formation of frost and/or water droplets on the
back wall of the compartment is quite normal and
occurs in all refrigerators; it is due to the presence of
the rear-mounted evaporator.
In OZ, the phenomenon is more obvious because
of the aquamarine colour of the compartment and
because of the light shining down it from the interior
light fitted vertically on the left-hand side.
Thisphenomenondoes not,however,in anyway affect
normal operation of the appliance.

If OZ is replacing a refrigerator with a mechanical
locking catch, make sure that this device is rendered
inoperable before discarding the appliance: this is to
avoid the possibility of children accidentally shutting
themselves in the appliance and thus endangering
their lives.
OZ has been designed to be operated by adults. Do
not allow children to tamper or play with it.
When moving OZ, take great care not to damage the
refrigerant circuit and avoid any leakage of fluid.
OZmust not be located near to radiators or cookers.
Also avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged
periods.
After installing OZ, make sure that the power supply
cable is not trapped .
Air must be able to circulate freely round the back of
OZ and care must be taken to avoid any damage to
the refrigerant circuit.
Never place electrical appliances (for example ice
cream makers) inside OZunless expressly approved
by the manufacturer.
Always remember to remove the plug from the power
socket before cleaning OZor carrying out any mainte-
nancework(evenif onlyreplacingtheinterior lightbulb).
It is dangerous to modify or try to modify the charac-
teristics of OZ.
If any electrical work is required to install OZ, this must only be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
In the event of a breakdown or damage to the power supply cable, never attempt
to repair OZ yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause
serious damage. Contact your nearest local Service Centre and always insist on
genuine spare parts.
Never use any mechanical devices or other artificial means to speed up the defro-
sting process: carefully follow the instructions in the “Defrosting” section.

Like all domestic refrigerators, OZis designed solely
for the storage and freezing of foodstuffs.
OZ’s refrigerant circuit contains R 600 A isobutane
hydrocarbon: maintenance work and any topping up
must be carried out only by authorised personnel.
In all refrigerators and freezers, some surfaces beco-
me covered with frost. Before trying to remove this
frost, check the defrosting instructions in this manual.
Never use metal objects to clean the appliance: they
could seriously damage the paintwork and surfaces.
Never use sharp tools to remove the frost from OZ.
Use the special plastic scraper supplied with the
appliance.
Never place hot liquids or food inside OZ, or contai-
ners fitted with a lid and filled to the brim.
Never place fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment:
the containers could explode.
During operation, the condenser and compressor located at the back of OZ become
hot. Make sure that the appliance has been installed in accordance with the instructions
containedin this booklet:inadequate ventilationcan causedamage tothe appliance and
cause it to malfunction
Warning:The OZsigns on the back of the appliance are ventilation ope-
nings and must always be kept clear of obstructions.
If OZ is transported in a horizontal position, the oil contained in the compressor can
flow into the refrigerant circuit.To allow the oil to flow back into the compressor, stand
OZupright and wait for at least 2 hours before switching the appliance on.

In its refrigerant circuit and insulation layer, OZuses only R 600 A natural
isobutane gas, which is totally free of CFC (Chloro Fluoro Carbons).
Do not dispose of OZ at normal urban refuse or scrap disposal sites.
Contact your local authorities for information on collection centres for pro-
per disposal of refrigerators.
During disposal, ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged, espe-
cially at the back of the appliance.
All materials marked with the symbol , used to manufacture OZ,
can be recycled.
