PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Use the refrigerator compartment only for
storing fresh food and beverages and use the
freezer compartment only for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food and making ice
cubes.
After installation, make sure that the
appliance is not standing on the power supply
cable.
Do not store glass containers with liquids in
the freezer since they may burst.
Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
after taking them out of the freezer since they
may cause cold burns.
Before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning, always unplug the appliance or
disconnect the power supply.
Make sure that your appliance is not near a
heat source.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
To ensure proper ventilation, leave a gap on
both sides and above the appliance.
Ensure that the vent outlets on the appliance
casing or housing unit are unobstructed in
order to allow correct air circulation.
All appliances equipped with an ice maker or
water dispenser must be connected to a
mains water supply that delivers potable
water only (with water pressure between 2.4
and 8.3 bar (35 and 120 PSI)). Ice makers and/
or water dispensers not directly connected to
a mains water supply must be filled with
potable water only.
Install and level the appliance on a floor strong
enough to take its weight and in an area
suitable for its size and use.
Install the appliance in a dry and well-
ventilated place The appliance is set for
operation at specific ambient temperature
ranges, according to the climatic class
indicated on the data plate: The appliance may
not work properly if it is left for a long period
at a temperature above or below the
indicated range
Climatic class Amb. T. (°C) Amb. T. (°F)
SN From 10 to 32 From 50 to 90
N From 16 to 32 From 61 to 90
ST From 18 to 38 From 64 to 100
T From 18 to 43 From 64 to 110
Be careful not to damage the floors when you
move the appliance (e.g. parquet flooring).
Do not use mechanical devices or any means
other than those recommended by the
manufacturer to speed up the defrosting
process.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the
freezer compartments, unless such appliances
are specifically recommended by the
manufacturer.
This appliance is not designed for use by
young children or the infirm.
To avoid the risk of children being trapped
and therefore suffocating, do not allow them
to play or hide inside the appliance.
The power cable may only be replaced by an
authorized person.
Do not use extension leads or adapters.
It must be possible to disconnect the
appliance from the mains by unplugging it or
by means of a two-pole switch fitted upline of
the socket.

appliance data plate corresponds to the
domestic supply voltage
Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the
ice packs (if provided).
Do not place fingers or hands on the
automatic ice making mechanism while the
refrigeration is plugged in. This will help
protect you from possible injury. It will also
prevent interference with moving parts of the
ejector mechanism and the heating element
that releases the cubes.
To prevent accidental child entrapment or
suffocation risk, do not remove the divider in
the top freezer basket.
Do not turn the ice maker on until it is
connected to the water supply.
