Important Safety Instructions
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 and/or freezer.
•Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. 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 compartment.
•Do not put ice cream or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after removal from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or tongue and cause injury.
•Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.
•Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator and/or freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
•Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
•Placing frozen goods on the top of the appliance can lead to the accumulation of condensation in the cavity of the storage tray through contact with the cold. Electronic components are housed within this cavity. If condensation should drip onto these compo- nents, the appliance could be damaged by a short circuit. For this reason do not place frozen goods on top of the appliance.
•When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
In case of malfunction
•If a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the "What to do if ..." section of these instructions. If the information given there does not help, please do not perform any further repairs yourself.
•Under no circumstance should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force Centre.
