storing fresh food and beverages and use the
freezer compartment only for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.
•
During installation, make sure the appliance
does not damage the power 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 the appliance is not near a
heat source.
•
Do not store or use petrol, gas or flammable

on both sides and above the appliance and
follow the installation instructions.
•
Keep the appliance ventilation openings free.
•
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 1.7 and 8.1 bar (25
and 117 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.
•
For the water connection, use the pipe
supplied with the new appliance and do not
use that of the previous appliance.
•
The appliance must be handled and installed
by two or more persons.
•
Place 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.
•
Be careful not to damage the floors when you
move the appliance (e.g. parquet flooring).

Do not use mechanical, electric or chemical
means other than those recommended by the

extension cables.
•
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 swallow the contents (non-toxic) of
the ice packs (if provided).

The Manufacturer declines any liability if the
above recommendations and precautions are
not respected.
