ENVIRONMENT

This appliance has been designed to respect the

environment.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

You can only keep your food in good condition and

optimise your energy consumption by following the

instructions in this installation and user guide.

Failure to install the drawers, bins and shelves pro-

perly can result in increased power consumption.

In accordance with the most recent legislative pro-

visions applying to the protection and respect of

the environment, your appliance does not contain

any CFCs, but a refrigerant gas called R600a. The

exact type of refrigerant gas used in your appliance

is clearly shown on the data plate located at the

back of your appliance. R600a is a non-polluting

gas that does not harm the ozone layer and hardly

contributes to the greenhouse effect at all.

This appliance’s packaging material is recyclable.

Help protect the environment by placing the packa-

ging into the municipal containers provided for this

purpose.

Your appliance also contains many recycla-

ble materials, it features this logo to remind

you that used appliances must not be

mixed with other waste.

The appliance must therefore be recycled in com-

pliance with the European directive on used electri-

cal and electronic equipment.

Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used

appliance collection points closest to your home.

ENERGY SAVING

In order to reduce your appliance's power

consumption:

Install it in a suitable location (see "Installing your

appliance").

Leave the doors open for the shortest time possi-

ble.

Never put hot food in the fridge or freezer, and in

particular soups and other preparations that

release a lot of steam.

Check that your appliance is working correctly by

not letting too much ice accumulate in the freezer

(defrost when the ice is more than 5-6 mm thick).

Regularly check the door seals and make sure that

the doors still close properly. If this is not the case,

contact your after-sales department. Do not leave

the temperature set too low.

3.1 -

USING THE FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

— Do not place hot food or liquids in non-sealed

containers in the fridge.

— NEVER introduce volatile, flammable or explosive

liquids such as thinners, alcohols, acetone or petrol.

There would be a risk of explosion.

— Meat and fish products should be wrapped up to

avoid any smells.

— Leave enough space between food products so

air can circulate between them correctly. Similarly,

when stocking the fridge, avoid having items touch

each other.

— Do not let any food touch the cold back wall of the

fridge. The racks include a stop to avoid this.

— The door must not be left open for longer than

necessary.

Food safety (depending on model)

Indication of the coldest area.

The symbol opposite indicates the location

of the coldest area of your fridge, the tempe-

rature of which is at

£ + 4°C.

Store in this area any meat, poultry, fish, cold meats,

ready-cooked dishes, mixed salads, egg- or cream-

based preparations and pastries, fresh pasta, pie

dough, pizza/quiches, fresh products, raw milk

cheeses, prepared vegetables sold in plastic bags

and more generally, any fresh product with a use-by

date associated with a storage temperature of £ +

4°C.

Temperature indicator:

Adjust your thermostat

Correct temperature

The temperature indicator enables you to check

your fridge is working properly.

The indicator displays “OK” when the coldest area

reaches an average temperature of  + 4°C (4h after

switching on). If the temperature is above + 4°C, the

indicator remains white. The user must then reduce

the temperature of the fridge by adjusting the

thermostat.

OK

3.2 - USING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

This compartment enables you to preserve deep

frozen food, freeze fresh products and make ice

cubes.

Do not freeze large quantities of items at a time, as

the quicker food becomes frozen, the better its

nutritive qualities will be preserved. Similarly, make

sure your food products are well wrapped before

freezing, in order to preserve their taste and avoid

spoiling other products.

The shelf life of frozen or deep-frozen foods

depends on the type of food. Please refer to the ins-

tructions on the packaging. Do not place any bot-

tles or cans in the freezer compartment as they may

burst when their content freezes. Carbonated beve-

rages may even explode! NEVER store any lemo-

nade, fruit juice, beer, wine, champagne, etc. in the

freezer compartment.

Do not consume any iced products immediately

after removal from the freezer as they may cause

frost burns to the skin or lips.

In the case of a power cut, avoid opening the door

in order to slow down food defrosting.

3.3 - USING THE CHILLER COMPARTMENT

(DEPENDING ON MODEL)

This compartment, whose temperature is between -

2°C and +3°C, is used to store highly perishable
