Safety data sheet for R600a gas

Measures in the event of accidental leakage

Allow the material to evaporate providing that adequate

ventilation is provided.

The gas is highly inammable; therefore, absolutely avoid

contact with naked ames and hot surfaces. Gas R600a is

heavier than air, and therefore, high concentrations could form

close to the oor where general ventilation is poor.

Take the exposed person from the polluted area and carry him

to a warm, well ventilated place.

Long exposure can cause the onset of asphyxia and possible

loss of consciousness. If necessary, practice articial respiration,

and, in the most serious cases, administer oxygen, under close

medical supervision.

It is unlikely that occasional contact with the skin is dangerous

by cutaneous absorption. If this happens: thoroughly wash the

Liquid splashes and atomised liquid can cause freezing burns:

Wash the aected part with plenty of water and call in a doctor

Wash with plenty of water, with eye lids well open, and call in

a specialised doctor as soon as possible.

In any event, we advise you to consult your own doctor

following contact with or inhalation of R600a gas.

Advice on the preservation of foods: REFRIGERATOR Description of functions

Super Freeze: we advise you to use this function when you

put the fresh foods you have bought during shopping, in the

refrigerator compartment.

This method favours faster cooling of foods.

Holiday function: this function is recommended when, for

short periods (e.g. a holiday), you do not wish to disable the

refrigerator but make it work at reduced consumption. With

this mode, the freezer compartment operates normally and

the refrigerator compartment operates at temperatures of over

+10°C. In view of the temperature, remove from the refrigerator

all perishable foods which require lower temperatures for

excellent preservation, and keep the refrigerator door closed.

Advice on cooling foods

Ambients with different temperatures can be created by

circulating air in the cooling compartment. These ambients are

particularly suitable for preserving various foods. It is therefore

important to position the foods to allow air to freely circulate

The coldest zones (e.g. suitable for preserving dressed and other

meats are just above the vegetables drawer. Instead the less

cool zones are situated at the top, toward the outside and in the

doors (ideal for preserving butter and cheeses to spread).

Ventilation inside the vegetables drawer is provided by a series

of slits which can be closed at the user’s discretion.

Advice on how to best use the refrigerator compartment:

• do not put in hot foods or evaporating hot liquids;

• always replace in closed containers, or in appropriate

packages, liquids and all foods which issue or which can

easily absorb odours and  avours;

• do not put food oil in  exible containers in the refrigerator

door: cracks could form in the plastic;

• never obstruct the ventilation holes or grids on the bottom

wall of the refrigerator and freezer compartment;

• do not put in the appliance explosive materials or spray

cylinders containing inflammable propellants such as

butane, propane pentane, etc...and put back high proof

alcohol only in upright position and in properly shut

containers. Gasses or liquids that accidentally issue from

cylinders can be recognised by reading the indications

of their content, and are sometimes marked with a  ame

Glass top in two pieces

By a simple operation, shown in the  gure below, the front glass

top (D2) can be positioned under the rear one (D1).

In this way you can create space for cooling bottles (or other

very high containers) in a vertical position.

NOTE: if the Holiday or Super Cool functions were active before

the appliance was turned OFF, they are re-activated at the new

Disabling the appliance

If you push button (A6) for 3 seconds, the display screen goes

OFF, and the refrigerator stops operating but will continue to be

powered by the electrical system. To re-enable the appliance,

Advice on preserving foods: FREEZER Description of functions

Freezing: The rapid freezing function is designed to best

preserve the nutritional value of foods placed in the freezer

compartment , guaranteeing complete and quicker freezing.

Advice on freezing foods

The freezer compartment is recommended for preserving

already frozen foods, for freezing small quantities of foods, and

for preparing ice cubes and ice cream.

IMPORTANT: a temperature of -18°C is necessary for

freezing and preserving foods for a long time. This

temperature considerably stops the action of microorganisms.

As soon as the temperature exceeds -10°C, the decomposition

process activated by the microorganisms is resumed, shortening

the life of foods. For this reason, when foods have been

defrosted, they can be re-frozen only after cooking in order to

eliminate most of the microorganisms.

• to preserve frozen foods, make sure that they are well

preserved by the seller;

• we advise you to limit opening the compartment containing

deep frozen and frozen foods and keep it open for as little

• we advise you to freeze only fresh, high quality foods, after

washing and drying them carefully;

• place the foods to be frozen in the lower drawer – this is the

coldest point of the freezer compartment;

• preservation temperature must always be lower than or

• the serial number plate indicates the maximum quantity of

fresh foods which can be frozen in 24 h (“freezing capacity”).

A larger quantity worsens freezing quality, and considerably

reduces the quality of already frozen foods;

• we advise you to activate the Super- Freeze function 24

hours before freezing, when food quantities exceed 8 Kg;

• freeze foods in small portions, carefully wrapped in suitable

protective material (aluminium sheets or specic freezer

packets), adhering well and closed, marking the packing

and best before dates;

• ice cream and ice lollies should be eaten only a few minutes

after they have been removed from the freezer, to avoid

cutaneous lacerations to lips and tongue. For the same

reason, do not touch internal parts of the freezer with wet

• packets must be dry to prevent them freezing together or

attaching to each other;

• the packaging must ensure that air and humidity do not

come out, to prevent drying of foods and loss of the vitamins

• the bags and/or sheets must be soft to adhere well to the

• arrange the foods to be frozen so that they do not come into

contact with already frozen foods, to avoid defrosting;

• to defrost small quantities of fresh foods (1-2 Kg), there

is no need to adjust the thermostat knob. To defrost

larger quantities, enable the “Super-Freeze” function

(parag.”description of refrigerator and freezer functions)”.

IMPORTANT: do not preserve bottled drinks, especially

if fizzy, in the freezer compartment or in the low

temperature cells; if the beverages freeze, the contents

expand and the bottles can burst.

IMPORTANT: increasing the temperature of frozen foods,

reduces their preservation time.

• If, for accidental reasons, i.e. a power cut in the domestic

system, the foods in the freezer compartment have

defrosted (eve if only partially), they must be consumed very

quickly; they can also be re-frozen after being cooked.

• With brief interruptions (up to 6-8 hours), the foods will not

Advice on defrosting foods

To cook frozen foods excellently, we advise you to defrost

them in the refrigerator or at room temperature, shortening

defrosting time in the latter case.

If you want to cook the foods quickly, providing they are small

they can be cooked directly, lengthening cooking times.

If they are of normal dimensions, they can be defrosted in a

When foods are defrosted, they deteriorate quickly. Therefore,

they should be consumed by the next 12-24 hours and can be

refrozen only after they are cooked (boiled or roasted).16
