~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, make sure it is tightly closed and stored upright. Danger of explosion.

~Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or liquids which could freeze in the freezer section. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.

~When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour, otherwise they could burst, causing injury or damage.

~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 the food manufacturer’s packaging on storage conditions required.

~Do not use sharp edged objects to

–separate frozen foods and remove ice trays.

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

~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 mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

~Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will cause the seals 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 gap 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.
