zontal position, stand it upright and then wait 2 hours before
plugging it in. A small amount of oil may have flowed into
the refrigeration circuit, and you must allow time for this to
flow back towards the motor before connecting the
appliance. Failure to do so may damage the appliance.
If you appliance is fitted with wheels, please remember that they
are only designed to assist in small movements. Do not use them
for longer journeys.
Carry out an initial cleaning operation (see the section on lnstal-
ling your appliance) before connecting your appliance to the
electrical supply. Disconnect your appliance prior to performing
any maintenance operation. Grasp the plug directly, instead of
pulling on the power cable.
Do not place bottles or jars containing liquids in the freezer
unless they are only two-thirds full, freezing causes liquids to
expand, which can cause the container to explode.
Do not use any other method than those we recommend in this
manual for speeding up defrosting.
Do not use electrical equipment inside compartments designed
for preserving frozen food unless the manufacturer recommends
otherwise.
Do not let children play with the appliance and keep your pets
well away from it. Worn out appliances must be rendered unusa-
ble. Unplug and cut the electric cable flush with the
appliance.Render the door catch unusable or, better still, remove
the door, so as to ensure that no child or animal risks being shut
inside whilst playing.
If a problem arises that you are unable to resolve using the
advice given (see the Ongoing maintenance section), please
contact an official after-sales service or a qualified professional.
Danger:

tane refrigerant (R600a), a natural, non-polluting gas that
is, however, inflammable. Ensure that none of the compo-
nents in your applia nce's refrigeration circuit have been
damaged during transport or installation. If you detect any
damage, keep your appliance away from flames or any
type of source of heat or combustion and ventilate its loca-
tion.

section).
• Leave the door open as little as possible. Do not place food that
is still hot in your refrigerator or freezer, particularly in the case of
soups or dishes that release a lot of steam.
• Ensure that you appliance operates optimally by not allowing
too much frost to build up in the freezer (defrost it when the frost
is more than 5-6 mm thick) and clean its condenser periodically
(See the Ongoing maintenance your appliance section).
• Periodically check the door seals and make sure that the doors
close firmly. If they do not, please contact our After-sales service.
In compliance with the Iatest legislation concerning environmen-
tal protection, your appliance does not contain any CFC. Instead
it uses a gas called R600a. The exact type of refrigerant used in
your appliance is also clearly indicated on the identification plate
inside your appliance's refrigerator section, low down on the Ieft-
hand wall.
R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not harm the ozone layer
and whose contribution to the greenhouse effect is virtually zero.
