Precautions and tips 

The appliance was designed and manufactured in 
compliance with international safety standards. The 
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and 
must be read carefully.

This appliance complies with the following 
Community Directives:

- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and 
subsequent amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic 
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
- 2002/96/CE..

General safety

•  The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the 

home and is not intended for commercial or industrial 
use.

•  The appliance must be used to store and freeze food 

products by adults only and according to the instructions 
in this manual.

•  The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in 

covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the 
appliance exposed to rain and storms.

•  Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or 

moist hands and feet.

•  Do not touch the internal cooling elements:  

this 

could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

•  When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug 

from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

•  Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the 

appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It 
is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs 
on OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.

•  In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances 

should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. 
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may 
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.

•  Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical 

equipment - other than the type recommended by 
the manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage 
compartments.

•  Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into 

your mouth.

•  This appliance is not intended for use by persons 

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or 
lack of experience and knowledge unless they have 
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of 
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not 
play with the appliance.

•  Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can 

become a choking or suffocation hazard.

Disposal

•  Observe local environmental standards when 

disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.

•  The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste 

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires 
that old household electrical appliances must not be 
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste 
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately 
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of 
the materials they contain and reduce the impact 
on human health and the environment. The crossed 
out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds 
you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the 
appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers may take their old appliance to public 
waste collection areas, other communal collection 
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a 
retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are 
active in the creation of systems to manage the 
collection and disposal of old appliances.

Respecting and conserving the environment

•  Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated 

room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight 
and do not place it near heat sources.

•  Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or 

opening the door too frequently in order to conserve 
energy.

•  Do not fill the appliance with too much food:  

cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved 
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will 
work continuously.

•  Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. 

The internal temperature will increase and force the 
compressor to work harder and will consume more 
energy.

•  Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance). 

A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food 
products more difficult and results in increased energy 
consumption.

•  Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to 

ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air 
from escaping (see Maintenance).
