undamaged and that the door closes perfectly
tight. Any damage must be reported to your
dealer within 24 hours after delivery of the
appliance.
2. Wait at least two hours before switching the
appliance on in order to ensure the refrigerant
circuit is fully efficient.
3. Installation of the appliance and electrical
connections must be carried out by a qualified
electrician, in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and local safety
regulations
4. Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
1. Packaging
The packaging material is 100% recyclable and
carries the recycling symbol. Follow local
regulations for scrapping. Keep the packaging
materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out
of reach of children, as they are potentially
dangerous.
2. Scrapping
The appliance is manufactured using recyclable
material.
This appliance is marked according to the
European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly,
you will help prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human
health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate waste handling of this product.
The symbol
on the product, or on the
documents accompanying the product, indicates
that this appliance may not be treated as
household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to
the applicable collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment.
Before scrapping, make the appliance unusable by
cutting off the power cable and removing the
doors and shelves so that children cannot easily
climb inside the appliance.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with

HOW TO USE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Only for
or
appliances:
" Appliances with the symbol
can be used to
store already frozen food.
Appliances with the symbol
can be used to
store food for months and also to freeze food. The
amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24
hours is indicated on the appliance rating plate (see
paragraph “Product description”, point 6).
Freezing food
• Set the thermostat knob (A) to 3-4.
• Arrange the food to be frozen centrally in the
freezer compartment.
• Avoid contact between already frozen food and food that
has yet to be frozen (approx. 20 mm distance).
• After 24 hours turn the thermostat knob (A) back to the
normal position
Attention:
Wrap and seal the food in:
• Aluminium foil, cling film, watertight plastic bags,
polythene containers with lids or special freezer
containers.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package
is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been
stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have
already begun.
• Transport products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last.
• Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the
freezer.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid subjecting foods to temperature variations.
Observe the “best before” date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube trays (8) 3/4 with water and place them at
the bottom of the freezer compartment.
• Use a spoon handle to remove ice cube trays which stick
to the compartment.
Do not use sharp or pointed instruments.

The direction of door opening can be changed.
If this operation is performed by After-sales
Service it is not covered by the warranty.
INSTALLATION
& Install the freezer away from heat sources.
Installation in a hot environment, direct exposure to the
sun or installation near heat sources (heaters, radiators,
cookers) will increase power consumption and should
therefore be avoided.
If this is not possible, the following minimum distances
must be respected:
30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves
3 cm from electric stoves.
• Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place.
• Clean the interior (How to defrost and clean the
appliancesee.
• Fit the accessories.
• Check the door seal is not damaged or deformed,
especially after installation or reversal of door opening.
Electrical connection
• Ensure that the voltage indicated on the appliance rating
plate corresponds to the domestic supply voltage.
• Regulations require that the appliance is earthed. The
Manufacturer declines all liabilities for injury to persons or
animals or damage to proper resulting ty from failure to
observe these regulations.
• If the plug and socket are not of the same type, have the
socket replaced by a qualified electrician.
