Important Safety Instructions

•Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffoca- tion!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.

•Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision and never let children play with the appliance!

Daily Operation

•Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempera- tures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.

•Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.

•Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after removal from the freezer. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or tongue and cause injury.

•Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food causing skin abrasions.

•Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigera- tor and/or freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).

•Warning - In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.

•Warning - Do not damage the cooling circuit.

•Warning - Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial means to speed up defrosting unless they are recommended by the manufacturer.

•Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the electricity supply.

•When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
