The defrost water automatically runs into a drain outlet and then into a container from where it evaporates.

Caution! The refrigerator accessories must not be placed in a dishwasher.

Packaged frozen food can be stored for the period of time indicated on the packaging.
Once defrosted, food must be used within 24 hours.

Installation

**** The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons – the risk of injury. Use protective gloves to unpack and install – the risk of cuts.

**** Installation, including water supply (if any), electrical connections, and repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically stated in the user manual. Keep children away from the installation site. After unpacking the appliance, make sure that it has not been damaged during transport. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest Aftersales 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 – the risk of electric shock. During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable – the risk of fire or electric shock. Only activate the appliance when the installation has been completed.

**** Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g. parquet) when moving the appliance. Install the appliance on a floor or support strong enough to take 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 resting on 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 the appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.

WARNING: When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

WARNING: To avoid a hazard due to instability, positioning or fixing of the appliance must be done in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. It’s forbidden to place the refrigerator in such a way that the metal hose of a gas stove, metal gas or water pipes, or electrical wires are in contact with the refrigerator’s back wall (condenser coil).

**** To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space 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 the product. Please remove the power cord from the condenser hook during installation before connecting the product to the power supply.
