Safety Information

The product must be used only for storage of food. Any other use is considered dangerous, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any omissions. Before using the refrigerator, please read the instruction manual carefully to maximize its
performance. Store all documentation for subsequent use or for other owners. Scrapping old appliances must be done by the municipality or registered companies to avoid causing a fire by igniting flammable material.
Please read the operating and installation instructions carefully!
They contain important information on how to install, use and maintain the appliance. The manufacturer is not liable if you fail to comply with the instructions and warnings. Retain all documents for subsequent use or for the next owner.

•  Do not connect the appliance to the electricity supply until all packing and transit protectors have been removed. Keep children away from packaging and its parts. Danger of suffocation from folding cartons and plastic film!
•  Leave to stand for at least 4 hours before switching on the product, to allow compressor oil to settle if transported horizontally.
• Make sure there is no transport damage.
• WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Maintain the ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, free of obstruction.
•  Never use water to wash the compressor position, wipe it with a dry cloth thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust.
• Handle the appliance always with at least two persons because it is heavy.
• Install and level the appliance in an area suitable for its size and use.
•  Make sure that the electrical information on the rating plate agrees with the power supply. If it does not, contact an electrician.
•  The appliance is operated by a 220-240 VAC/50 Hz power supply. Abnormal voltage fluctuation may cause the appliance to fail to start, or damage to the temperature control or compressor, or there may be an abnormal noise when operating. In such case, an automatic regulator shall be mounted.
• Only for UK: The appliance’s power cable is fitted with 3-cord (grounding) plug that fits a standard 3-cord (grounded) socket. Never cut off or dismount the third pin (grounding). After the appliance is installed, the plug should be accessible.
• Make sure that mains cable is not caught under the appliance during and after carrying/moving the appliance, to avoid the mains cable becoming cut or damaged. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not install the appliance in humid, oily or dusty places, nor expose it to direct sunlight and to water.
• Do not install the appliance near heaters or inflammable materials.
•  FOR appliances with a freezer compartment: if there is a power failure do not open the lid. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than the hours indicated on the rating label (Temperature rise time). If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and eaten immediately or cooked and then refrozen.
• If you find that the lid of the appliance is difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the lid to be opened normally after a few minutes.
•  Do not store medicines, bacteria or chemical agents in the appliance. This appliance is a household appliance, it is not recommended to store materials that require strict temperatures.
• Do not excessively pull or fold the power cord or touch the plug with wet hands.
• Do not store products which contain flammable propellant (e.g. spray cans) or explosive substances in the appliance. Risk of explosion!

Error Codes
Communication error
[-16°C;-18°C;-20°C;-22°C;-24°C] Lights in the fridge turn on sequentially, it means there has been a communication error between the main control board and the display board. Please, contact the technical assistance to help solve the problem
Fan
[-16°C;-20°C;-22°C;-24°C] lights in the fridge flashing simultaneously if the fan is not working properly. Please, contact the technical assistance to help solve the problem

Maintenance and cleaning
Do not pour water directly on the outside or inside of the refrigerator itself. This could lead to oxidation and damaging of the electrical insulation. Before each operation, remove the refrigerator plug from the power socket to prevent electric shocks.
To prevent cracking of the inside surfaces and plastic parts, follow these suggestions:
Remove the accessories, for example, the shelves, from the refrigerator and from the door. Wash in hot soapy water. Rinse and thoroughly dry. Wipe away any food oils adhered to plastic components. The back of the appliance tends to accumulate dust which can be eliminated with the use of a vacuum cleaner, after having switched off and disconnected the appliance from the electrical outlet. This provides greater energy efficiency. The internal parts, gaskets and external parts can be cleaned with a cloth with warm water and baking soda or a neutral soap. Do not use solvents, ammonia, bleach or abrasives.
