Operation

Warning and Safety instructions

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply make sure that

the rating on the data plate corre- sponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

The electrical safety of this appli- ance can only be guaranteed when

continuity is complete between the ap- pliance and an effective earthing sys- tem, which complies with local and na- tional safety regulations. It is most im- portant that this basic safety require- ment is tested regularly and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a quali- fied electrician. The manufacturer can- not be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Safe operation of the appliance is only assured if it has been installed

and connected in accordance with these operating and installation instruc- tions.

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assess- ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Installation work, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by

suitably qualified and competent per- sons to ensure safety.

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held liable.

Ensure that current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance

or repair work is being carried out.

The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply

when:

–the plug has been withdrawn. Do not pull on the cable, only on the plug.

–the mains fuse is withdrawn, or

–the screw-out fuse is removed in countries where this is applicable.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead.

Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Never handle frozen food with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to

the frozen food. Danger of frost burn.

Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place ice

cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer.

The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.
