1. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For your own safety and for the proper utilization of the appliance, read this manual carefully, including the
warnings and recommendations, before installing the appliance and using it for the first time. In order to avoid
damage to the appliance and/or personal injury, persons using the appliance should be fully familiar with its
operation and safety functions. Keep these recommendations close to the appliance, for future reference,
and ensure that the document is transferred with the appliance if it is sold or in the case of moving. This will
ensure optimum operation of the appliance.
To avoid any risk of injury, keep this manual. The manufacturer declines any liability whatsoever in the
case of operating/handling errors concerning the appliance.
Safety of children and other vulnerable persons
This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years and above, and by persons who are physically,
sensorially or mentally handicapped, or who have not learned to use the appliance, providing they are
supervised by a person familiar with the appliance and who is aware of the risks involved. Children should not
be allowed to play with the appliance. User cleaning and servicing operations should not be carried out by
children, unless they are more than 8 years old and are supervised.
▪
Keep all packaging out of the reach of children, as there is a risk
▪
of suffocation.
▪
If you decide to scrap the appliance, disconnect it from the wall socket, cut the connection cable (as
close to the appliance as possible) and remove the door, in order to prevent children playing with it,
with the resulting risk of electric shock or being trapped inside.
▪
If an appliance with a magnetic door seal is being replaced by another appliance with a latch on the
door or on the seal, ensure that the latch is disabled before selling or scrapping the old appliance.
This will prevent the appliance from being transformed into a trap for children.
▪
Keep the appliance and its power cable out of reach of children less than 8 years old.
▪
NOTE: children between 3 and 8 can load and unload the appliance.
General safety
CAUTION — Never store inflammable substances, such as aerosols, inside the appliance, as they could leak
or release fluids.
CAUTION — A damaged power cable should be immediately replaced by the manufacturer or by a qualified
retailer, in order to avoid any risk of electric shock.
CAUTION — Keep the ventilation openings well open and ensure that air can circulate, especially if the
appliance is recessed into a wall.
CAUTION — Do not damage the refrigerating circuit.
CAUTION — Do not use electrical appliances inside the compartment unless they are tolerated by the
manufacturer.
CAUTION — The refrigerating and insulating systems contain inflammable gases. When the appliance is
scrapped, it should be deposited at an accredited collection center. Do not expose the appliance to fire.
Refrigerating fluid
The refrigerating circuit in the appliance uses refrigerating isobutane (R600a), which is a highly inflammable
natural gas and is therefore dangerous for the environment. When transporting installing the appliance,
ensure that no element of the refrigerating circuit is damaged. The refrigerating fluid (R600a) is inflammable.
Caution: Fire rise
If the refrigerating circuit is damaged:
▪
Avoid open flames or any source of combustions
▪
Ensure that the room in which the appliance is installed is well ventilated. It is dangerous to change the
specification of the appliance in any way whatsoever.
Damage to the power cable may cause a short circuit and/or electric shock.
Electrical safety
▪
We decline any liability in respect of incidents caused by poor electrical installation.
▪
Do not extend the power cable. Do not use an extension cable, or adapter, or multi-way socket.
