Safety
The safety of our refrigerators complies with all the normal technical rules and with the
“Law relating to the safety of appliances”. We would also like to draw the user’s attention
to the following safety recommendations:
Appropriate use of the appliance
This appliance is designed for domestic use. It is suitable for refrigerating, freezing
and storing foodstuffs and for making ice cubes. The manufacturer declines respon-
sibility for any damage resulting from of inappropriate or incorrect use of the appli-
ance.
For safety reasons, the characteristics of this appliance must not be modified.
If the appliance is not used for private domestic purposes, or if it is used for purposes
other than the refrigeration, freezing and storage of foodstuffs, make sure that all cur-
rent local regulations are complied with.
Before starting up the appliance for the first time
Check that the appliance has not been damaged during transport. In no circum-
stances should a damaged appliance be used! In the event of damage, contact the
retailer from whom the appliance was purchased.
During transport and installation, take care not to damage the cooling circuit compo-
nents.
Child safety
Some packing materials (e.g. plastic sheeting, polystyrene) can be dangerous for chil-
dren. Danger of suffocation! Keep children away from packing materials.
Render your old appliance inoperative before disposing of it. Pull out the plug, cut off
the electric cable and remove or destroy any catch or locking device. This will prevent
children from getting trapped inside whilst playing (danger of suffocation) and avoid
any other serious threat to their life.
Very often, children do not realise that domestic appliances can be dangerous. Keep
children under control and do not allow them to play with these appliances.
Daily use
It is possible for the hermetic seal on inflammable gas or liquid containers to break
under the effect of cold, leading to a risk of explosion! Never store inflammable gas or
liquid containers, such as spray cans, lighter fuel refills, etc., inside the appliance.
Never place bottles or cans in the freezer compartment. They could split when the
contents freeze - with fizzy drinks, they could even explode! Never place fizzy drinks,
fruit juice, beer, wine, sparkling wine, etc. in the freezer: The only exception is drinks
with a high alcohol content, which may be stored in the freezer.
Never consume ice lollies or ice cubes straight from the appliance because, if they
are very cold, they can stick to the lips or tongue and cause frost burns.
Never touch frozen food with wet hands. The skin could stick to it.
