Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

~Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Thermostats switching on may produce sparks which could present a fire hazard. Flammable compounds could explode.

~Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and explosion.

~If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof in the refrigerator, make sure the bottle is tightly closed and stored upright. Danger of explosion.

~Observe the "use by" dates given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness and quality of the food as well as the temperature at which it is stored. Follow the instructions given on food manufacturer's packaging on storage conditions required, as well as the "use by" date.

~Do not use sharp edged objects to

– remove frost and ice,

–separate food which has become frozen.

They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.

~Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they might contain substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could cause a

build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.

~Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

~Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.

~If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks.

~Do not block the ventilation gaps in the appliance as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.

~The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.
