Please read this instruction book before using the appliance and retain for
future reference. These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety,
ensure you understand them fully before using the appliance.
Intended use
• The appliance is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the freezing and storing of 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 appliance are not permitted for reasons of
safety.
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 retailer.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit
of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental 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
• Keep packaging material away from children.
• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains
plug, cut off the mains cable and remove any locks or catches, to prevent
young children being trapped inside.
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

Daily Operation
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
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

• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. 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 compartment.
• Ice cream or ice cubes can cause “frost/freezer” burns if consumed straight from the freezer.

electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
• Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and
disconnect from the electricity supply.
