Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched off or
unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before
plugging the appliance in or restarting
it in order to prevent damage to the
compressor.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is
located at the rear of the appliance.
Therefore, water droplets or ice may form
on the rear surface of your fridge due
to the operation of the compressor at
specified intervals. This is normal, there is
no need to perform a defrosting operation
unless there is excessive ice.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for
a long period of time (such as during the
summer holidays), set the thermostat to
"•" position, defrost and clean your fridge,
leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of mildew and odour.
• If a problem persists after you have
followed all the above instructions,
please consult the nearest authorised
service centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is
designed for domestic use only. It is not
suitable for commercial or common use.
If the consumer uses the appliance in a
way that does not comply with this, we
emphasise that the manufacturer and
the dealer will not be responsible for any
repair and failure within the guarantee
period.
