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

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

catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock

themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocati-

on!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations.

• Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household

appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate super-

vision and never let children play with the appliance!

Daily Operation

• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempera-

tures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers

with flammable materials such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill

cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.

• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst

when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even

explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc.

in the freezer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored

in the freezer.

• Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after

removal from the freezer. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or ton-

gue and cause injury.

• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to

the food causing skin abrasions.

• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer

(e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).

• Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and

unplug it, or disconnect from the electricity supply.

• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not

pull on the cable.

In case of malfunction

• If a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the

"What to do if ..." section of these instructions. If the information

given there does not help, please do not perform any further repairs

yourself.

• Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by qualified service engi-

neers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If your

appliance needs repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or our
