The appliance is arranged for operation in places with
temperatures inside the following ranges, according to
the climatic class given on the data plate. The appliance
may not work properly if left for a long time at a
temperature above or below the range provided for.
• It is advisable to leave the appliance connected if left
empty even for short periods.
• Do not use mechanical devices or any means other
than those recommended by the manufacturer to
speed up the defrosting process.
• Make sure the voltage given on data plate matches the
voltage in your home.
• Do not use single/multiple adapters or extension leads.
• For the water connection, use the pipe supplied with
the new appliance; do not reuse that of the previous
appliance.
• Power cable modification or replacement must only be
carried out by qualified personnel or the After-sales
Service.
• It must be possible to disconnect the power supply by
unplugging the appliance or by means of a double-pole
mains switch installed ahead of the socket.
Safety
• Do not put aerosol spray cans or recipients containing
propellants or flammable substances in the appliance.
• Do not store or use petrol, flammable liquids or gas in
the vicinity of this or other electrical appliances. The
vapours can cause fires or explosions.

FOOD STORAGE
Refer to the table on the appliance (if provided).
Classification of frozen
foods
Load and classify the frozen
foods; It is advisable to
indicate the storage date on
the packs, to ensure
punctual use before the
expiry dates.
Advice for storing frozen food
When purchasing frozen food products, make sure:
• The packaging is intact (food in damaged containers
may have deteriorated). If a package is swollen or has
damp patches, the product may not have been stored
in optimum conditions and therefore undergone partial
defrosting.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last
and carry them in a thermally insulated bag.
• On arriving home, immediately put the frozen food in
the appliance.
• Avoid or minimise temperature variations. Respect the
"best before" date on the package.
• Always follow the storage instructions on the frozen
food packages.
Note:
Consume completely or partly defrosted foods
immediately. Do not refreeze thawed food, unless
the food is used to prepare a dish requiring it to be
cooked. Once cooked, the food can be refrozen. In
case of a prolonged power failure:
• Do not open the appliance door except to place
ice packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on
the right and left side of the appliance. This will
slow down the rise in temperature.
