Safety

The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted

technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law.

Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the

following safety information:

Intended use

• The freezer is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the fre-

ezing of fresh food and storing frozen food, as well as for making

ice. If the appliance is used for purposes other than those intended

or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer

for any damage that may be caused.

• Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons

of safety.

• If you use the freezer in a commercial application or for purposes

other than the freezing or frozen storage of foods, the manufacturer

accepts no liability for any damages which may occur.

Prior to initial start–up

• Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstance

should a damaged appliance be plugged in. In the event of damage,

please contact your supplier.

• Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply

cable. Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced

a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its

Customer Service.

Refrigerant

The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant

circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmen-

tal compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.

• During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain

that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become

damaged.

• If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:

– avoid open flames and sources of ignition;

– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.

Safety of children

• Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children.

There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from

children!

• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the

mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt
