Health safety & Environmental

distribution in different compartments in the
appliance, are as follows:
4 star zone (****) compartment is suitable for
freezing foodstuffs from ambient temperature and
for storing frozen food as the temperature is evenly
distributed throughout the entire compartment.
Purchased frozen food has the storage expiration
date stated on the packaging. This date takes
into account the type of food being stored and
therefore this date should be respected. Fresh
food should be stored for the following time
periods: 1-3 months for cheese, shellfish, ice
cream, ham/sausage, milk, fresh liquids; 4 months
for steak or chops (beef, lamb, pork); 6 months
for butter or margarine, poultry (chicken, turkey);
8-12 months for fruits (except citrus), roast meat
(beef, pork, lamb), vegetables. Expiration dates on
the packaging of foods in the 2-star zone must be
respected.
To avoid food contamination, please observe the
following:
– Opening the door for long periods can cause
a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
– Regularly clean surfaces that may come
into contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
– Clean water tanks if they have not been used for
48 h; flush the water system connected to a water
supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
– Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers
in the refrigerator, so that it does not come into
contact with or drip onto other food.
– Two-star frozen food compartments are suitable
for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice
cream and ice cubes.
– Do not freeze fresh food in one, two or three-star
compartments.
– If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for
long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and
leave the door open to prevent mould developing
inside the appliance.
INSTALLATION
The appliance must be handled and installed
by two or more persons - risk of injury. Use
protective gloves to unpack and install - risk of
cuts.
Installation, including water supply (if any),
electrical connections and repairs must be carried
out by a qualified technician. Do not repair or
replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
stated in the user manual. Keep children away from
the installation site. After unpacking the appliance,
make sure that it has not been damaged during
transport. In the event of problems, contact the
dealer or your nearest After-sales Service. Once
installed, packaging waste (plastic, styrofoam
parts etc.) must be stored out of reach of children
- risk of suffocation. The appliance must be
disconnected from the power supply before any
installation operation - risk of electrical shock.
During installation, make sure the appliance does
not damage the power cable - risk of fire or
electrical shock. Only activate the appliance when
the installation has been completed.
Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g.
parquet) when moving the appliance. Install the
appliance on a floor or support strong enough to
take its weight and in a place suitable for its size
and use. Make sure the appliance is not near a heat
source and that the four feet are stable and resting
on the floor, adjusting them as required, and check
that the appliance is perfectly level using a spirit
level. Wait at least two hours before switching the
appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit
is fully efficient.
To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a
space on both sides and above the appliance. The
distance between the rear of the appliance and
the wall behind the appliance should be 50 mm,
to avoid access to hot surfaces. A reduction of
this space will increase the Energy consumption
of product.
WARNING: When positioning the appliance,
ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
WARNING: To avoid a hazard due to instability,
positioning or fixing of the appliance must be done
in accordance with the manufacturer instructions.
It's forbidden to place the freezer in such way that
the metal hose of gas stove, metal gas or water
pipes, or electrical wires are in contact with the
freezer back wall (condenser coil).
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance
from the power supply by unplugging it if
plug is accessible, or by a multi-pole switch
installed upstream of the socket in accordance
with the wiring rules and the appliance must
be earthed in conformity with national electrical
safety standards.
Do not use extension leads, multiple sockets
or adapters. The electrical components must not
be accessible to the user after installation. Do not
use the appliance when you are wet or barefoot.
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged
power cable or plug, if it is not working properly,
or if it has been damaged or dropped.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced with an identical one by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard -
risk of electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not locate multiple portable
socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the
rear of the appliance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is
switched off and disconnected from the power
