INSTALLATION

This appliance is marked according to the European directive

2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative

consequences for the environment) and basic components (which

can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to

specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all

pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials.

Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not

become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

- WEEE should not be treated as household waste;

- WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points

managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many

countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be

returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a

one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and

has the same functions as the supplied equipment.

ENERGY SAVINGS

AVOIDING NOISES

For better energy savings, we suggest:

• Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to

direct sunlight and in a well ventilated room.

• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the

internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functioning of

the compressor.

• Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.

• Defrost the appliance in case there is ice (see DEFROSTING) to

facilitate the transfer of cold.

• ln case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the

refrigerator door closed.

• Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible

• Avoid adjusting the thermostat to temperatures too cold.

• Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance (see CLEANING).

During its operation, the refrigerator emits some absolutely normal noises,

such as:

• HUMMING, the compressor is running.

• RUMBLINGS, RUSTLINGS and HISSING, the refrigerant is flowing

through the tubes.

• TICKS and CLICKS, the operation shutdown of the compressor.

Small measures to r ed uce the vibration nois es:

• Containers touch each other: Avoid contact between containers and

glass recipients.

• Drawers, shelves, bins vibrate: Check the proper installation of internal

accessories.

NOTE:

The refrigerant gas produces noise even when the compressor is off;

it is not a defect, it is normal.

If you hear a clicking sound inside the appliance, it is normal as due to

expansion of the various materials.

2) Disconnect the power cord.

3) Remove the frozen food and temporarily place them in a cool

place.

4) Leave the freezer door open to speed defrosting.

5) Collect the water on the bottom of the product.

6) Dry the freezer.

7) Reconnect the power cord and set the desired values.

8) Wait a moment and reintroduce the frozen foods.

WARNING:

Absolutely avoid the use of open flames or electrical appliances,

such as heaters, steam cleaners, candles, oil lamps and the like to

accelerate the defrosting phase.

Do not scrape with a knife or sharp object to remove frost or ice

present. These can damage the refrigerant circuit, the leakage of

which can cause a fire or damage your eyes.
