[. . . ] By ensuring the correct disposal of this appliance, you can help prevent potentially negative consequences for the environment and the health of persons. The symbol on the appliance, or on the accompanying documents, indicates that this appliance should not be treated as domestic waste but must be taken to a special collection centre for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. When scrapping the appliance, make it unusable by cutting off the power cable and removing the doors and shelves so that children cannot easily climb inside and become trapped. Scrap the appliance in compliance with local regulations on waste disposal, taking it to a special collection centre; do not leave the appliance unattended even for a few days, since it is a potential source of danger for children. [. . . ] Direct exposure to sunlight or installation near heat sources (radiators, cookers) will increase energy consumption and should therefore be avoided. • If this is not possible, the following minimum distances must be respected: - 30 cm from coal or oil stoves; - 3 cm from electric and/or gas cookers. • Clean the inside (refer to “Maintenance and cleaning” of the appliance). • Insert or install the accessories/parts supplied. Using the product This appliance is an electronically controlled, drawers refrigerator for the storage of fresh food and beverages. Optimum performance depends on the climatic class indicated on the rating plate. This product is fitted with a drawers’ internal ventilation system. Foods and beverages should be stored in closed containers or covered with film. Notes: • 4-5 hours are required for the refrigerator compartment to reach a temperature suitable for storage. • Ambient temperature, frequency of drawer opening and position of the appliance can affect the temperature inside. These factors should therefore be taken into account when setting temperatures. • In storing the food in the drawers, ensure vents are not obstructed. • Storing vegetables with high water content can cause condensation to form: this does not affect correct appliance operation. 6 Using the product Storing food in the refrigerator compartment Place the food as shown in the figure.
