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.
The instruction manual includes the NO FROST version/
model of the freezer which is fitted with a fan and in
which the defrosting process is automatic (only with some
models).
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.
