Appliances with Isobutane (R600a): isobutane is a natural gas without
environmental impact, but is flammable. Therefore, make sure the refrigerant
circuit pipes are not damaged, especially when emptying the refrigerant
circuit.
WARNING:
- Do not damage the appliance refrigerant circuit pipes.
- Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
- Do not use mechanical, electric or chemical means other than those recommended by the Manufacturer to speed up the defrost process.
- Do not use or place electrical devices inside the appliance compartments if they are not of the type expressly authorised by the Manufacturer.
- Ice makers and/or water dispensers not directly connected to the water supply must be filled with potable water only.
- Automatic ice-makers and/or waterdispensers must be connected to a water supply that delivers potable water only, with mains water pressure between 0,17 and 0,81 MPa (1,7 and 8,1 bar).
- Do not store explosive Substances such asaerosol cans and do not place or use gasoline or other flammable materials in or near the appliance.
- Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs (provided with some models).
- Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer since they may cause cold burns.
- For products designed to use an air filter inside an accessible fan cover, the filter must always be in position when the appliance is in function.
- Do not store glass containers with liquids in the freezer compartment since they may break.
- Do not obstruct the fan (if included) with food items. After placing the food check that the freezer door closes properly.
- Damaged gaskets must be replaced as soon as possible.
- Use the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.
- Do not store unwrapped food in the refrigerator or freezer compartments to avoid direct contact with internal surfaces.
- C-Pentane is used as a blowing agent in insulation foam and it is a flammable gas
The most appropriate compartments of the appliance where specific types of
food are to be stored, taking into account different temperature distribution
in different compartments in the appliance, are as follows:
4 star zone (****) compartment is suitable for freezing foodstuffs from
ambient temperature and for storing frozen food as the temperature is evenly
distributed throughout the entire compartment. Purchased frozen foood has the
storage expiration date stated on the packaging. This date takesinto account
the type of food being stored and therefore this date should be respected.
Freshfood should be stored for the following time periods: 1-3 months for
cheese, shellfish, ice cream, ham/sausage, milk, fresh liquids; 4 months for
steak or chops (beef, lamb, pork); 6 monthsfor butter or margarine, poultry
(chicken, turkey); 8-12 months for fruits (except citrus), roast meat (beef,
pork, lamb), vegetables. Expiration dates on the packaging of foods in the
2-star zone must berespected. To avoid food contamination, please observe the
following:
- Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
- Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
- Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
- Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it does not come into contact with or drip onto other food.
- Two-star frozen food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice cream and ice cubes.
- Do not freeze fresh food in one, two or three-star compartments.
- If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing inside the appliance.
INSTALLATION
The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons risk of
injury. Use protective gloves to unpack and install risk of cuts.
Installation, including water supply (if any), electrical connections and
repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician. Do not repair orreplace
any part of the appliance unless specifically stated in the user manual. Keep
children away fromthe installation site. After unpacking the appliance, make
sure that it has not been damaged during transport. In the event of problems,
contact thedealer or your nearest After-sales Service. Once installed,
packaging waste (plastic, styrofoam parts etc.) must be stored out of reach of
children risk of suffocation. The appliance must be disconnected from the
power supply before any installation operation risk of electrical shock.
During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable
risk of fire or electrical shock. Only activate the appliance whenthe
installation has been completed. ABe careful not to damage the floors (e.g.
parquet) when moving the appliance. Install the appliance on a floor or
support strong enough totake its weight and in a place suitable for its size
and use. Make sure the appliance is not near a heat source and that the four
feet are stable and restingon the floor, adjusting them as required, and check
that the appliance is perfectly level using a spirit level. Wait at least two
hours before switching theappliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit
is fully efficient. To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave aspace on both
sides and above the appliance. The distance between the rear of the appliance
and the wall behind the appliance should be 50 mm,to avoid access to hot
surfaces. A reduction of this space will increase the Energy consumption of
product.
WARNING: When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not
trapped or damaged.
WARNING: To avoid a hazard due to instability, positioning or fixingof
the appliance must be done ccordance with the manufacturer instructions. It’s
forbidden to place the freezer in such way thatthe metal hose of gas stove,
metal gas or water pipes, or electrical wires are in contact with the freezer
back wall (condenser coil).
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
A must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the power supply by
unplugging it if plug is accessible, or by a multi-pole switchinstalled
upstream of the socket in accordance with the wiring rules and the appliance
must be earthed in conformity with national electrical safety standards.
Do not use extension leads, multiple socketsor adapters. The electrical
components must not be accessible to the user after installation. Do not use
the appliance when you are wet or barefoot. Do not operate this appliance if
it has a damaged power cable or plug, if it is not working properly,or if it
has been damaged or dropped. A f the supply cord is damaged, it must be

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any
heatsource (eg. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to
the sun. If required, use an insulating plate. To guarantee adequate
ventilation follow installation instructions.Insufficient ventilation at the
back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling
efficiency. Frequent door opening might cause an increase in energy
consumption.The internal temperature of the appliance and the energy
consumption may be affected also by the ambient temperature, as well as
location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration
thesefactors. Reduce door opening to minimum. You can increase storage
capacity of frozen food by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost shelf.
Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor which are normal
operation noises.Keep the product away from heat sources. Fast Freeze if
present) can be used for optimum appliance performance,24 hours before placing
fresh food in the freezer. Please follow the instructions contained in the
Quick Start Guide toactivate/deactivate the function. After placing fresh food
in the freezer, 24 hours on Fast Freeze function isgenerally sufficient; After
50 hours the Fast Freeze function automatically deactivates.
Attention:
In order to save energy, when freezing small amounts of food, the fast
freeze function can be deactivated after a few hours. The user shall
