LIRE ET CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

Ne coupez pas ou n’enlevez pas, sous aucun prétexte, la troisième broche de mise à la terre du cordon

d’alimentation. Pour des raisons de sécurité, cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre.

Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil est équipé d’une

fiche à trois broches (pour une mise à la terre) qui s’adapte à

la prise de courant standard à 3 broches (pour une mise à la

terre) pour minimiser les risques de chocs électriques par cet

appareil.

Faites vérifier la prise murale et le circuit électrique par

un électricien qualifié pour s’assurer que le système est

correctement mis à la terre.

Dans le cas d’une prise biphasée, l’installateur a la

responsabilité et l’obligation de la remplacer par une prise

triphasée correctement mise à la terre. N’utilisez pas

d’adaptateur.

Le réfrigérateur doit toujours être branché à sa propre prise

électrique d’une tension nominale correspondant à celle

indiquée sur sa plaque signalétique.

Une alimentation électrique à 115 volts CA, 60 Hz, avec

un fusible de 15 ou 20 ampères et une mise à la terre est

nécessaire. Ceci permet d’obtenir un meilleur rendement et

évite de surcharger les circuits électriques du domicile qui

risque d’occasionner un incendie en surchauffant.

Ne débranchez jamais le réfrigérateur en tirant sur le cordon

d’alimentation. Prenez toujours fermement la fiche en main et

tirez pour la sortir de la prise.

Cessez immédiatement d’utiliser un cordon électrique

endommagé. Si le cordon électrique est endommagé,

son remplacement doit être effectué par un technicien en

réparation qualifié au moyen d’un cordon de rechange

autorisé par le fabricant.

Lorsque vous éloignez votre réfrigérateur du mur, faites

attention à ne pas le faire rouler sur le cordon d’alimentation

afin de ne pas l’endommager.

BRANCHEMENTS ÉLECTRIQUES

AVERTISSEMENT

RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE

Branchez l’appareil dans une prise triple avec terre.

Ne retirez pas la broche de terre.

N’utilisez pas d’adaptateur.

N’utilisez pas un cordon de rallonge.

Le non-respect de ces instructions peut entraîner des risques d’incendies, des chocs électriques ou la mort.

RISQUE DE SUFFOQUER OU D’Y ÊTRE EMPRISONNÉ

Le non-respect de ces instructions d'élimination peut entraîner la mort ou des blessures graves.

IMPORTANT: Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie

sont toujours d’actualité. Les réfrigérateurs et congélateurs

abandonnés sont toujours aussi dangereux, même si on

n’attend que «quelques jours» pour s’en débarrasser. Si vous

ne gardez pas votre ancien réfrigérateur ou congélateur,

veuillez suivre les directives ci-dessous afin de prévenir les

accidents.

Mise au rebut des produits réfrigérants et en mousse

Mettez l’électroménager au rebut conformément à la réglementation fédérale et locale. Les matières isolantes inflammables

utilisées exigent des procédures de mise au rebut spéciales. Communiquez avec les autorités locales pour connaître la façon de

mettre votre électroménager au rebut qui soit respectueuse de l’environnement.

relâchement du bouton car de l’eau

peut continuer à l’écouler.

Il se peut que de l’air soit présent dans la conduite d’eau si la

distribution d’eau n’a pas eu lieu à la première installation du

réfrigérateur. Appuyez sur le bouton du distributeur durant au

moins 5 minutes pour expulser l’air de la conduite et remplir le

système d’eau. Pendant ce processus, un bruit peut se faire

entendre lors de l’expulsion d’air. Pour expulser les impuretés

de la conduite, jetez les premiers 6 verres d’eau.

REMARQUE : Pour prévenir les dépôts, le distributeur doit

être essuyé régulièrement à l’aide d’un linge ou d’une éponge

propre.
