IMPORTANT SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
This appliance
European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
WEEE contains both basic components (which
can be re-used) and polluting substances
(which can have negative impacts on the
environment). It is important that WEEE
undergo specific treatments in order to remove
and properly dispose of all pollutants and
recover and recycle all re-usable materials.
Individuals can play an important role in
ensuring that WEEE does not become an
environmental problem; it is essential to follow
some basic rules:
• WEEE should not be treated as household
waste;
• WEEE should be disposed of at the
appropriate collection points managed by the
municipality or by registered companies. In
many countries, for large WEEE, at-home
pick-up may be available.
In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer, who is obliged to collect it free of
charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the
equipment is of an equivalent type and has the
same functions as the equipment being
supplied.
By placing the mark on this product, we are confirming
compliance with all relevant European safety, health and
environmental requirements which are applicable to this
product by law.
For optimal energy saving, we recommend the following:
• Install the appliance away from heat sources, out of
direct sunlight and in a well-ventilated room.
• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator, which would
raise the internal temperature, thus causing the
compressor to run continuously.
• Do not overfill the compartments, as this prevents air
from circulating properly.
• If ice should form, defrost the appliance in order to
facilitate the transfer of cold.
• In the event of an electrical power failure, it is advisable
to keep the refrigerator door closed.
• Open the appliance doors as infrequently and for the
briefest amounts of time possible.
• Do not adjust the
temperatures.
• Remove any dust that accumulates on the back of the
appliance
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least four
hours prior to switching the power on.
