IMPORTANT NOTES AND

PRECAUTIONS

Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, please

read carefully the instructions for use which describe the

appliance and its correct and safe use. The instructions

apply to several appliance types/models; thus, settings or

equipment may be described herein which is not available

in your appliance. We recommend saving this instruction

manual for future reference and attach it to the appliance if

it is sold in the future.

Check for any damage or irregularities on your appliance. If

you find your appliance is damaged, notify the retailer from

which you have purchased the appliance.

Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, let

the appliance rest in a vertical position for a minimum of 2

hours. This will reduce the possibility of operation faults due

to the effect of transport on the cooling system.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR

THE FIRST TIME

The appliance must be connected to the power mains and

grounded in compliance with the effective standards and

regulations.

Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the power

mains (unplug the power cord from the wall outlet).

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a

service technician or other adequately trained person.

If LED lighting does not work, call a service technician. Do

not attempt a repair of the LED lighting yourself, as there is

danger of contact with high voltage!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Do not use any electric devices inside the

appliance, except for those allowed by the manufacturer

of this refrigeration appliance.

WARNING! Do not use mechanical devices or other

means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than

those recommended by the manufacturer.

WARNING! To avoid any hazard resulting from poor

stability of the appliance, make sure it is installed as

instructed.

Danger of frostbite

Never put frozen food in your mouth and avoid touching

frozen food as this may cause frostnip or frostbite.

Safety of children and vulnerable persons

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8

years and above and persons with reduced physical,

sensory or metal capabilities or lack of experience

and knowledge if they have been given supervision or

instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe

way and understand the hazards involved.

Remove the packaging intended to protect the appliance

or particular parts during transport and keep it outside the

reach of children.

It presents danger of injury or suffocation.

Do not let the children play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by

children without supervision.

When removing a used appliance, disconnect the

power cord, remove the door, and leave the shelves in

the appliance. This will prevent children from locking

themselves in the appliance.

Warning regarding the refrigerant

The appliance contains a small amount of an

environmentally friendly yet flammable gas R600a. Make

sure that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. A

gas leak is not hazardous to the environment, but it could

cause eye injury or fire.

In case of a gas leak, ventilate the room thoroughly,

disconnect the appliance from the power mains, and call a

service technician.

The appliance may not be used outdoors and it may not be

exposed to rain.

Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans

with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

If the appliance will be out of use for an extended period of

time, switch it off using the relevant button, and unplug it

from the power mains. Empty the appliance, defrost it, clean

it, and leave the door ajar.

In case of an error or power supply failure, do not open the

freezer compartment unless the freezer has not operated

for over 16 hours. After this period, use the frozen food or

provide sufficient cooling (e.g. a replacement appliance).

Technical information on the appliance

Rating plate can be found in the appliance interior. It

indicates data on voltage, gross and net volume, type

and amount of refrigerant, and information on the climate

classes.
