Smeg CR321A [3/24] Important

Instructions for Use

• Never use continuous operation unless unnecessarily required;

switch the operation mode selection switch to the setting for

automatic operation as soon as possible.

• Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make

sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.

• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the

appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the

energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency,

replace the gasket.

• The condenser on the rear wall should be always clean, free of dust

or any impurities.

• Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and

Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is

substantially higher.

Important

• If you have bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped

with a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure

that the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for children to

lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.

• The appliance must be correctly connected to the mains supply.

(see: Connecting to the Mains Supply).

• If the food has strange smell or color, throw it away, because it is

very likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing it

(only a qualified technician should repair it), before cleaning and

before replacing the light bulb.

• Do not defrost the appliance with other electric appliances (as for

example with hair dryer) and never scrape the frost layer with sharp

objects. Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the

manufacturer.

• For the sake of environment protection - be careful not to damage

the rear wall of the appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes - for

example when moving the appliance) or any part of the refrigerating

system inside the appliance.

• The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and

oil, so when the appliance is damaged, handle it with care and

dispose it of in compliance with environmental protecting

precautions. (See We Care for the Environment).

• Heating element incorporated in the appliance, all around the rim, is

controlled by the operation of the compressor and it prevents the

door gasket to freeze on to the freezer housing.
