Warning and Safety Instructions
Never use a pointed or sharp-edged
object to
– remove frost or ice,
– or to free frozen items or ice trays
from the freezer.
This will damage the evaporators,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
Never place candles or electric
heaters in the appliance to defrost it.
This can damage the plastic.
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers.
They may contain substances that can
damage the plastic, or that could cause
a build-up of potentially explosive
gasses or pose a danger to health.
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals.
They can cause the seals to deteriorate
over time.
If you store fatty or oily foods in the
appliance or the appliance door, make
sure that no oil or grease leaks onto the
plastic parts of the appliance.
This can cause the plastic to crack and
break.
Do not block the ventilation slits,
because this interferes with proper air
supply to the appliance. This in turn
causes increased electricity
consumption and may also result in
damage to appliance parts.
12
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain climate range (room
temperature range) and should not be
used outside this range. The climate
range for your appliance is printed on
the data plate inside the appliance.
If the room temperature is cold, this will
cause the appliance to switch off for
longer periods of time, with the result
that it cannot maintain the required
internal temperature.
Never use a steam cleaner to
defrost or clean the appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
Disposing of your old
refrigerator / freezer
Before disposing of your old
fridge/freezer, first make the door latch
or lock unusable.
This will prevent children from
accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.
Be careful not to damage any part of
the cooling system, for example by
– puncturing the coolant channels in
the evaporator.
– kinking any pipework.
– scratching the surface coating.
Caution: Splashes of coolant can
damage the eyes.
The manufacturer will not be held
liable for damage caused by failure
to comply with these "Warning and
Safety Instructions".
