PERTINENT ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMA-
TION
This appliance has been labled in accordance with European Di-
rective 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE). The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin that appears
on the appliance indicates that at the end of its service life the
product must not be treated as ordinary household rubbish, but
instead must be taken to a separate collection centre for elec-
trical and electronic equipment or else turned over to a retailer
at the time of purchase of a new appliance of the same type.
The proper, separate collection of this appliance contributes to
preventing any possible adverse impact on the environment or
on human health that might arise as a result of the incorrect
processing of this product. It should be disposed of in compliance
with local applicable environmental regulations. For more detai-
led information pertinent to handling, disposing of or recycling
this product, please contact your local waste disposal service or
the store where you purchased the appliance. Do not throw the
appliance packaging in the waste bin, but rather separate out the
different materials such as polystyrene, cardboard, plastic bags
etc. in accordance with local waste disposal regulations and cur-
rent standards. This appliance does not contain any HFCs (the
refrigeration circuit contains R600a isobutane).
R600a (ISOBUTANE)
Isobutane is a naturally occurring gas that has no impact on the
environment but is
inflammable. Therefore, before connecting the appliance to the
mains, it is critical to ensure that none of the refrigeration circuit
tubing is damaged. For every 8 gr. of refrigerant, the location
where it is intalled must have a minimum volume of 1 m3. The
amount of refrigerant appears on the technical specifications
card located on the rear of the appliance. In the event of loss of
refrigerant, keep open flames and ignition sources away from
the point of leakage.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This paragraph explains the most important precautions to take
to ensure your safety. Read them carefully and heed the specifi-
cations prior to using the appliance.
- Always keep the instruction manual, and if you sell the ap-
pliance, pass it on to the new owner.
- This appliance must not be installed outdoors, not even if
the space is protected by an awning; it is very dangerous to
leave it exposed to rain, storms or the elements.
- Never touch or handle the appliance when barefooted or
when hands or feet are wet.
- We advise you to wait at least one hour before connecting
the appliance so that the oil in the refrigeration circuit will
have time enough to become perfectly efficient.
- The appliance must be used only for keeping and/or fre-
ezing food in the home.
- Packing materials, such as plastic bags, polystyrene or plastic
strips, must not be left within the reach of children since
they are a potential source of danger.
- Do not allow children to play in or around the appliance. If
they sit in the baskets or swing on the door, for example,
the freezer could tip over or objects located on top of it could
fall off.
- Do not use the bases, drawers, doors or racks as braces or
supports.
- Be careful not to damage the tubing of the refrigeration
circuit during placement, installation or cleaning.
- Verify that no electrical appliances or components are
installed near the ventilation openings. (e.g. fans, switches,
sockets, etc.).
- After installing the appliance, make sure it is not resting on
the power cable.
- It is recommended you do not use extension cords or power
strips to connect it to the mains.
- Unplug the appliance or open the main supply network cir-
cuit breaker before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
- To disconnect the appliance from the mains, pull the plug
out of the power outlet. Do not pull on the power cable.
- Do not put bottles or glass containers in the low-tempera-
ture section, because they could crack or break when the
contents freeze.
- Do not consume foods whose expiration dates have passed
since they could cause food poisoning.
- Do not block the ventilation openings/grilles built into the
appliance.
- Avoid flames or sparks inside the appliance.
- When defrosting the appliance, never use metallic objects
to speed up the process. Failure to comply with this warning
could cause irreparable damage to the refrigeration circuit.
- Do not use electrical appliances inside the refrigerator (e.g.
ice-makers or deodorisers, etc.).
- Any service work, including replacement of the power cable,
for example, should be performed by the technical support
service or by qualified personnel. Otherwise, the user may
be exposed to a serious hazard.
- Do not store inflammable materials, gases or liquids such as
sprays....
This appliance is intended for non-commercial use.
The net capacity of the freezer (litres) was tested without the
freezer drawers installed.
SAFETY
WARNING! It is hazardous for anyone other than authorized ser-
vice personnel to carry out servicing or repairs which involves the
