Important Safety Instructions

• Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household

appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not

allow children to play with the appliance!

Daily Operation

• Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through

contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers

with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for

cigarette lighters etc. in the appliance.

• Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment. They

can burst when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents

contain carbonic acid! Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine,

champagne etc. into the freezer compartment. Exception: Spirits with

high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer compartment.

• Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer

compartment into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or

tongue and cause injury.

• Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the

goods.

• Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the appliance

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

• Warning - Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings as this

will impair the operation of the appliance.

• Warning - The appliance defrosts automatically. Do not use

mechanical or artificial devices to accelerate the defrosting process.

• Before cleaning the appliance switch off and remove the plug from

the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

• Placing frozen goods on the top of the appliance can lead to the

accumulation of condensation on the top panel through contact with

the cold. Electronic components are housed within this top panel. If

water should drip onto these components, the appliance could be

damaged by a short circuit. For this reason do not place frozen goods

on top of the appliance.

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

pull on the cable.

In case of malfunction

• If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the

section "What to do if ..." in these operating instruction. If the

instructions in this section are not sufficient, do not undertake any

further work on your own.
