SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

• Your new appliance is designed to be used in

the household and similar applications such as:

1. Packaging

The packing material is 100% recyclable and

bears the recycling symbol. For disposal, comply

with local regulations. Keep the packing

materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.)

out of the reach of children, as they are a

potential source of danger.

2. Scrapping/Disposal

The appliance is manufactured using recyclable

material.

This appliance is marked in compliance with

European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

By ensuring the correct disposal of this

appliance, you can help prevent potentially

negative consequences for the environment and

health.

The symbol on the appliance, or on the

accompanying documents, indicates that this

appliance should not be treated as domestic

waste but must be taken to a special collection

centre for the recycling of electrical and

electronic equipment.

When scrapping the appliance, make it unusable

by cutting off the power cable and removing the

doors and shelves so that children cannot easily

climb inside and become trapped.

Scrap the appliance in compliance with local

regulations on waste disposal, taking it to a

recovery and recycling of this product, contact

your competent local office, the household

waste collection service or the shop where you

purchased the appliance.

Information:

This appliance does not contain CFCs.

The refrigerant circuit contains R134a (HFC) or

R600a (HC) (see the rating plate inside the

appliance).

Appliances with Isobutane (R600a): isobutane is

a natural gas with low environmental. Caution is

required, however, since isobutane is

flammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure

that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.

This product may contain Fluorinated

Greenhouse Gases covered by the Kyoto

Protocol; the refrigerant gas is inside a

hermetically sealed system.

Refrigerant gas: R134a has a Global Warming

Potential of (GWP) 1300.

HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR

COMPARTMENT

Positioning the drip tray

Before switching on the appliance, position the drip tray supplied.

This appliance is a refrigerator with a low temperature

compartment.

Optimal appliance performance is obtained at ambient

temperatures between +16° C and +32°C.

Starting the appliance up

Insert the plug into the mains socket and set the thermostat knob

to any position other than 0.

Once the temperature has been set - see next chapter - the

appliance is ready for use.

To adjust the temperature

• thermostat set to 0: appliance OFF.

• thermostat set to 1: minimum refrigeration.

• thermostat set to 2-3: medium refrigeration.

• thermostat set to 4: maximum refrigeration.

Important

• Thermostat adjustment will depend on where the appliance is

installed, ambient temperature and frequency of door

opening.

How to use the refrigerator compartment

Position the food as illustrated in the figure.

Note:

• Cover food to prevent it drying out.

• Hot food must be allowed to cool properly before being

placed in the refrigerator.

• Make sure sufficient space is left for air to circulate around the

food.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and place it at the bottom of

the low temperature compartment.

Use a spoon handle to remove ice cube trays which stick to the

compartment.

Do not use sharp or pointed instruments.

HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE
