This guide to installing and using your fridge is applicable to several models. There
may be slight differences between your appliance's details and features and those de-
scribed here.
As you read through the guide, you will come across the following symbols, to warn you of:

Important information and advice

EN 21
This appliance is intended for domestic use only. It has been designed for preserving 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
failure 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
instructions in this operating and installation
instructions manual in order to avoid any
damage and/or danger due to any lack of
stability 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
before connecting the appliance. Fail-
ure to do so may damage the appliance.
If you appliance is fitted with castors, please
remember that they are only designed to
assist in small movements. Do not use them
for longer journeys.
Carry out an initial cleaning operation (see
the section on "Installing your appliance")
before connecting your appliance to the elec-
trical supply. Disconnect your appliance prior
to performing any maintenance operation.
Grasp the plug directly, instead of pulling on
the power cable.
Do not use any other method than those we
recommend in this manual for speeding up
defrosting.
Do not use electrical equipment inside
compartments 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 unusable. Unplug and cut the
electric cable flush with the appliance. Render
the door catch unusable 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 advice given (see
the "Noise, inconveniences, minor break-
downs" 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
installation. If you detect any damage,
keep your appliance away from flames
or any type of source of heat or
combustion and ventilate it location.
Safety instructions
EN 22
To reduce your appliances electrical consuption:
- Install it in a suitable place (see "Installation of your appliance" section).
- Leave the door open as little as possible. Do not place food that is still hot in your refrigerator,
particularly in the case of soups or dishes that release a lot of steam.
- Clean its condenser periodically (see the "Ongoing maintenance of your appliance" section).
- Periodically check the door seal and make sure that the door close firmly. If they do not, lease
contact our After-sales service.
In compliance with the latest legislation concerning environmental protection, your appliance does
not contain any CFCs. Instead it uses a gas called R600a. The exact type of refrigerant used in
your appliance is also clearly indicated on the identification plate inside your appliance's refrigerator
section, low down on the left-hand wall.
R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not harm the ozone layer and whose contribution to the
greenhouse effect is virtually zero.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
This appliance's packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the envi-
ronment by dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose. Your
appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this label
to indicate the used appliances that should not be mixed with other waste. This way,
the appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will be done under the best
possible conditions, in compliance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment. Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collection
points closest to your home.
We thank you doing your part to protect the environment.
This is a specific coating on the lining of your refrigerator consisting of silver ions, which prevent
bacteria from developing.
The anti-bacterial coating does not require any particular treatment and remains active throughout
your appliance's operating life.
However, you must clean your appliance regularly. See the section on "Cleaning your appliance".
