Safety instructions

This appliance is intended for domestic use only. It has been designed for preserving and freezing
food.
The following instructions are for your own safety and should be observed without
fail. We can neither be held responsible, nor uphold the guarantee in case of fail-
ure to observe these recommendations, which may lead to material damage or
physical injury.
Your appliance must be installed, fixed if nec-
essary and used in compliance with the in-
structions in this operating and installation
instructions manual in order to avoid any
damage and/or danger due to any lack of sta-
bility or faulty installation.
If the appliance has been delivered to
your home in a horizontal position,
stand it upright and then wait 2 hours
before plugging it in. A small amount of
oil may have flowed into the refrigera-
tion circuit, and you must allow time for
this to flow back towards the motor be-
fore connecting the appliance. Failure
to do so may damage the appliance.
If you appliance is fitted with castors, please
remember that they are only designed to as-
sist in small movements. Do not use them for
longer journeys.
Carry out an initial cleaning operation (see
the section on "Installing your appliance") be-
fore connecting your appliance to the electri-
cal supply. Disconnect your appliance prior to
performing any maintenance operation.
Grasp the plug directly, instead of pulling on
the power cable.
Do not place bottles or jars containing liquids
in the freezer unless they are only two-thirds
full: freezing causes liquids to expand, which
can cause the container to explode.
Do not use any other method than those we
recommend in this manual for speeding up
defrosting.
Do not use electrical equipment inside com-
partments designed for preserving frozen
food unless the manufacturer recommends
otherwise. Do not let children play with the
appliance and keep your pets well away from
it. Worn out appliances must be rendered un-
usable. Unplug and cut the electric cable flush
with the appliance. Render the door catch un-
usable or, better still, remove the door, so as
to ensure that no child or animal risks being
shut inside whilst playing. If a problem arises
that you are unable to resolve using the ad-
vice given (see the "Noise, inconveniences,
minor breakdowns" section), please contact
an official after-sales service or a qualified
professional.
Your appliance's refrigeration circuit
is filled with isobutane refrigerant
(R600a), a natural, non-polluting gas
that is, however, inflammable. Ensure
that none of the components in your
appliance's refrigeration circuit have
been damaged during transport or in-
stallation. If you detect any damage,
keep your appliance away from flames
or any type of source of heat or com-
bustion and ventilate it location.
