enough to take its weight and in a place suitable
for its size and use.
• The appliance is arranged for operation in places
where the temperature comes within the
following ranges, according to the climatic class
given on the rating plate. The appliance may not

plate corresponds to that of your home.
SAFE USE
• Do not store or use petrol, flammable liquids or
gas in the vicinity of this or other electrical
appliances. The fumes can cause fires or
explosions.
Energy-saving tips
• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated
room far away from any heat source (e.g.
radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed
directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating
plate.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation follow
installation instructions.
• Insufficient ventilation on back of the product
increases energy consumption and decreases
cooling efficiency.
• The internal temperatures of the appliance may
be affected by the ambient temperature,
frequency of door opening, as well as location of
the appliance. Temperature setting should take
into consideration these factors.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down
before placing in the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the fan (if available) with food
items.
• After placing the food check if the door of
compartments closes properly, especially the
freezer door.
• Reduce to a minimum door opening.
• When thawing frozen food, place them in the

• Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the
ice packs (in some models).
• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
after taking them out of the freezer since they
may cause cold burns.
• For products designed to use an air filter inside
an accessible fan cover, the filter shall be always
in position when the refrigerator is in function.
• Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning
operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect it
from the power supply.
• Use the refrigerator compartment only for
storing fresh food and the freezer compartment
only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food
and making ice cubes.
• Do not store glass containers with liquids in the
freezer compartment since they may break.
• Avoid storing unwrapped food in direct contact
with internal surfaces of the refrigerator or
freezer compartments.

refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the refrigerator.
• Appliances could have special compartments
(Fresh Food Compartment, Zero Degree
Box,...). In case not differently specified in the
specific booklet of product, they can be
removed, maintaining equivalent performances.
• Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has
no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food
should be placed on the shelves in such way to
ensure proper air circulation (food should not
touch each other and distance between food and
rear wall should be kept).
• You can increase storage capacity of frozen food
by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost
shelve, maintaining an equivalent energy
consumption.
• Damaged gasket must be replaced as soon as
possible.
• High energy class products are fitted with high
efficiency motors that remain operational for
longer, but have a low power consumption. Do
not worry if the engine continues to run for
longer periods.
