These installation and operating instructions apply to several

product models.

Thus there may be slight differences between certain details and

equipment on your appliance and those described in the instruc-

tion manual.

Important advice and information

This product is intended for private use only and is designed to

store and freeze food.

The following safety rules must be observed. We cannot accept

liability or any guarantee obligation for any material or corporal

damage that occurs as a result of these recommendations not

being complied with.

The product must be installed, secured if necessary, and used

in compliance with the recommendations in these installation

and operating instructions in order to avoid damage and danger

caused by any unstable positioning or improper installation.

If the product is transported in a horizontal position, it must be

positioned vertically. The appliance should then be left two hours

before connecting it. A small amount of oil may have seeped

out of the cooling circuit, and this needs time to run back to

the engine before the product is connected, otherwise it may

be damaged.

If the product is fitted with wheels, please bear in mind that

they are only intended to facilitate small movements.

This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a

built-in appliance.

Do not use them to move the refrigerator over larger distances.

Clean the refrigerator before connecting it to the electricity sup-

ply. The plug must be disconnected from the socket before any

maintenance is carried out. Do not pull the cable: hold the plug

firmly to pull it out of the socket.

Never put bottles or glasses containing liquid in the freezer un-

less they are ⅔ full or less: the liquid will expand when frozen

and the container is likely to burst.

Do not use any methods other than those shown in this guide

to accelerate defrosting.

Do not use electrical appliances inside the boxes designed

to store frozen food unless the manufacturer recommends it.

Do not let children play with the product, and keep pets

away from it. Appliances to be discarded must be rendered

inoperable immediately. Disconnect the plug from the socket

and cut the wire flush with the product. Make sure the door is

made unus-able, or remove it completely to prevent a child

or an animal from being locked inside it at play.

If problems arise that cannot be solved by using our advice (see

"Trouble-shooting" section), you are requested only to

contact our authorised service centres or a qualified repairman.

The cooling circuit in the refrigerator/freezer contains

refrigerant isobutane (R600a), a natural non-polluting gas,

which is, how-ever, flammable. Make sure that none of the

refrigeration cir-cuit components is damaged during transport

and installation. In the event of any damage, the refrigerator/

freezer must be kept away from open flames and all sources of

heat or ignition, and the room must be ventilated.

It only possible to secure good conditions for storing food and

to obtain an optimised power consumption by carrying out a

proper installation and complying with the recommendations

given in this manual.

To limit the product's electricity consumption:

Place the freezer in a suitable place.

The door must only be opened for as short a time as pos-

sible. Do not put foods that are still hot into the freezer, in

particular soup or other dishes that give off a lot of steam.

Be sure to keep the product at optimum functionality by

cleaning the condenser at regular intervals (see "General

maintenance of the product").

Check the seals around the door regularly, and make sure

that they can always close properly. If this is not the case,

contact the service centre.

In compliance with the latest laws regarding environmental

protection, the product contains no CFCs, but it does contain a

refrigerant gas known as R600a. The exact type of gas is clearly

stated on the data plate located on the inside of the refrigerator,

bottom left.

R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not destroy the ozone

layer, and hence does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.

There may be trickling sounds coming from the product. This is

normal, and they are caused by the interplay of compressor oil

and refrigerant.
