Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol 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 refrigerator 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 door of compartments closes properly, especially the freezer door.
Damaged gaskets must be replaced as soon as possible.
Use the refrigerator compartment only for storing fresh food and the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.
Avoid storing unwrapped food in direct contact with internal surfaces of the refrigerator or freezer compartments.
Appliances could have special compartments (Fresh Food Compartment, Zero Degree Box,…). Unless differently specified in the specific booklet of product, they can be removed, maintaining equivalent performances. C-Pentane is used as blowing agent in the 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:

  1. Upper area of the refrigerator compartment & door – temperature zone: Store tropical fruit, cans, drinks, eggs, sauces, pickles, butter, jam
  2. Middle area of the refrigerator compartment -cool zone: Store cheese, milk, dairy food, deli food, yoghurt
  3. Lower area of the refrigerator compartment
    • coldest zone: Store cold cuts, desserts, meat and fish, cheesecake, fresh pasta, sour cream, pesto/salsa, home-cooked food, pastry cream, pudding and cream cheese

  5. Chiller compartment: Only store meat and fish in the coldest drawer

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
  • 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 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 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 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 instructions. It’s forbidden to place the refrigerator in such way that the metal hose of gas stove, metal gas or water pipes, or electrical wires are in contact with the refrigerator back wall (condenser coil).
    All dimensions and spacing needed for installation of the appliance are in the Installation Instruction booklet.

ELECTRICAL WARNINGS

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the power supply by unplugging it if plug is accessible, or by a multi-pole switch installed 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 sockets or 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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with an identical one by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard -risk of electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance operation. To avoid risk of personal injury use protective gloves (risk of laceration) and safety shoes (risk of contusion); be sure to handle by two persons (reduce load); never use steam cleaning equipment (risk of electric shock). Non-professional repairs not authorised by the manufacturer could result in a risk to health and safety, for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. Any defect or damage caused from non-professional repairs or maintenance will not be covered by the guarantee, the terms of which are outlined in the document delivered with the unit.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

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 these factors. Reduce door opening to minimum.
When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).
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.
