Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost

it. These can damage the plastic parts.

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 any oils or grease on the door seal, as these will cause

the seal to deteriorate and become porous with time.

Do not store cooking oil in the refrigerator door. Traces of oil can

cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door.

Do not block the ventilation gaps in the plinth or the top of the

appliance housing unit 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.

Never use a steam-cleaning appliance to defrost or clean this

appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
