These warnings are provided to improve safety, and should be read carefully before installing or using your freezer.

IMPORTANT

It is vital that these instructions are kept with the freezer for future use. If the freezer is sold or given to another user, or if you move and leave the freezer behind, you must ensure that the instructions accompany the freezer to enable the next user to use the freezer correctly and read the relevant warnings.

This freezer is only intended for the freezing and storage of food.

This freezer should only be operated by adults. Children must not be allowed to tamper with the control buttons or play with the freezer.

Changes in the electrical mains system in connection with the installation of this freezer should always be carried out by an authorised electrician or competent person.

Do not under any circumstances attempt to repair the freezer yourself. Repairs carried out by untrained people may result in personal injury or serious malfunction of the freezer.

Service of the freezer should be carried out by an authorised service company, and only original spare parts should be used. See under “Guarantee Conditions and Service”.

It is dangerous to alter the freezer specifications, or to change the freezer in any other way.

Make sure that the freezer is not placed on top of the mains cable.

Do not re-freeze food once it has been defrosted. Observe the recommendations for storage carefully. See under “Helpful Hints”.

This freezer includes components that are heated during operation. Consequently, adequate ventilation must always be provided. If ventilation is insufficient defects may occur, resulting in the loss of food. See under “Installation”.

The inside of the freezer contains pipes through which coolant flows. If these pipes are punctured the freezer may be damaged beyond repair, and food may be lost. Do not use sharp implements to remove frost or ice. Frost can be removed using the enclosed scraper. Do not knock ice off the sides of the freezer, but remove it by defrosting the freezer. See under “Maintenance”.

Do not place drinks in the freezer. Bottles and cans containing carbonic acid or sparkling drinks are particularly prone to explosion, which may damage the freezer.

This freezer is heavy. Take care when moving it.

If the freezer is fitted with a lock to prevent tampering by children, the key must always be kept safely out of the reach of children, and far away from the freezer. Before disposing of an old freezer, make sure that the lock (if present) no longer works. This is to prevent accidents and avoid the danger of children getting locked inside.

Ice lollies can cause frostbite if eaten direct from the freezer.
