Miele KFN 14947 SDE ED Warning and Safety instructions, Disposal of your old appliance

Warning and Safety instructions

~Do not use sharp edged objects to

– remove frost and ice,

–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 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, can lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.

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

Disposal of your old appliance

~Before disposing of an old appliance, first make the door latch or lock unusable.

This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.

~Be careful not to damage any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by

–puncturing the refrigerant channels in the evaporator.

–bending any pipework.

–scratching the surface coating.

Splashes of refrigerant can damage the eyes.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and safety instructions.
