							1.  SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In the interest of your safety and to en-
sure the correct use, before installing
and first using the appliance, read this
user manual carefully, including its hints
and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mis-
takes and accidents, it is important to
ensure that all people using the appli-
ance are thoroughly familiar with its op-
eration and safety features. Save these
instructions and make sure that they re-
main with the appliance if it is moved or
sold, so that everyone using it through
its life will be properly informed on ap-
pliance use and safety.
For the safety of life and property keep
the precautions of these user's instruc-
tions as the manufacturer is not respon-
sible for damages caused by omission.
1.1 Children and vulnerable
people safety
• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental ca-
pabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been giv-
en supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to en-
sure that they do not play with the ap-
pliance.
• Keep all packaging well away from
children. There is risk of suffocation.
• If you are discarding the appliance
pull the plug out of the socket, cut the
connection cable (as close to the ap-
pliance as you can) and remove the
door to prevent playing children to
suffer electric shock or to close them-
selves into it.
• If this appliance featuring magnetic
door seals is to replace an older appli-
ance having a spring lock (latch) on
the door or lid, be sure to make that
spring lock unusable before you dis-
card the old appliance. This will pre-
vent it from becoming a death trap for
a child.
1.2 General safety

Keep ventilation openings, in the appli-
ance enclosure or in the built-in struc-
ture, clear of obstruction.
• The appliance is intended for keeping

bility, which is nevertheless flammable.
During transportation and installation
of the appliance, be certain that none
of the components of the refrigerant
circuit become damaged.
If the refrigerant circuit should be-
come damaged:
– avoid open flames and sources of
ignition
