1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the instruction booklet in a safe place as it contains important instructions which must be followed
when installing, using and maintaining the freezer. The manual must be kept so that it can be handed
over to any future owners of the appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable if the following notices are not respected:
- Do not use a damaged appliance – in the case of any doubts, contact the retailer.
- The appliance must be installed and connected to the power grid in accordance with the instructions
in the manual. The electrical connection conditions must match the data provided on the nameplate
located at the top left inside the freezer. The electrical safety of the appliance is only guaranteed if
the electrical equipment is properly earthed.
- Do not use single or multiple adaptors or extension cables.
- Disconnection from the electricity supply must be possible either by pulling out the plug or via a
bipolar circuit breaker located upstream of the plug socket.
- Ensure that repairs and maintenance are carried out by authorised technicians from Smeg's
technical support service only. Always disconnect the appliance from the mains in the event of a
breakdown or maintenance, or during cleaning. Never use electrical equipment or steam cleaners for
defrosting. Do not remove frost or ice using sharp objects as these may cause irreparable damage
to the walls of the freezer.
- Do not attempt to move the freezer by pulling on the door or the handle.
- Keep alcoholic liquids with a high alcohol content hermetically sealed and always in a vertical
position. Do not keep liquids in tins or glass containers in the freezer, especially carbonated drinks.
Do not keep products containing gases, flammable propellants or explosive substances in the
freezer: an explosion may occur!
- Electrical appliances (e.g. ice cream machines or blenders) may not be used inside the appliance.
- Do not obstruct or cover the air circulation pipes in any way as these are required for the proper
operation of the freezer.
- Do not touch frozen products removed straight from the freezer or put them in your mouth. There is a
risk of burns due to the ultra-low temperatures.
- Do not consume food with an unusual appearance or smell.
- This appliance is not suitable for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacity, or by those without experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised or
instructed on the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Install the product and ensure that it is level on a floor that is capable of bearing its weight and in a
suitable environment for its size and use.
- The product must be moved and installed by two or more people.
- Do not damage the freezer coolant loop tubes.
- Do not ingest the (non-toxic) liquid in the coolant accumulators (if there are any).
If there is a power failure, open the door as little as possible. Frozen food which has partially or
completely defrosted must not be refrozen.
Warning:
this freezer contains a small quantity of isobutane (R600a), a CFC-free gas refrigerant. During
transport, installation, cleaning and repair of the freezer, pay attention to avoid damaging any
part of the coolant loop in order to prevent a gas leak. In the event of damage, avoid the use of
naked flames and ventilate the area where the appliance is located.
