These warnings are provided to improve safety, and should
be read carefully before installing or using your freezer.

This freezer is only intended for the freezing and

storage of food.

This freezer should only be operated by adults. Children
must not be allowed to tamper with the control buttons or
play with the freezer.

Changes in the electrical mains system in connection
with the installation of this freezer should always be
carried out by an authorised electrician or competent
person.

Do not under any circumstances attempt to repair the
freezer yourself. Repairs carried out by untrained people
may result in personal injury or serious malfunction of the
freezer.

Service of the freezer should be carried out by an
authorised service company, and only original spare
parts should be used. See under Guarantee Conditions
and Service.

It is dangerous to alter the freezer specifications, or to
change the freezer in any other way.

Make sure that the freezer is not placed on top of the
mains cable.

Do not re-freeze food once it has been defrosted.

Observe the recommendations for storage carefully. See
under Helpful Hints.

This freezer includes components that are heated during
operation. Consequently, adequate ventilation must
always be provided. If ventilation is insufficient defects
may occur, resulting in the loss of food. See under
Installation.

The inside of the freezer contains pipes through which
coolant flows. If these pipes are punctured the freezer
may be damaged beyond repair, and food may be lost.
Do not use sharp implements to remove frost or ice.
Frost can be removed using the enclosed scraper. Do
not knock ice off the sides of the freezer, but remove it
by defrosting the freezer. See under Maintenance.

Do not place drinks in the freezer. Bottles and cans
containing carbonic acid or sparkling drinks are
particularly prone to explosion, which may damage
the freezer.

This freezer is heavy. Take care when moving it.

If the freezer is fitted with a lock to prevent tampering
by children, the key must always be kept safely out of
the reach of children, and far away from the freezer.

Before disposing of an old freezer, make sure that the
lock (if present) no longer works. This is to prevent
accidents and avoid the danger of children getting
locked inside.

Ice lollies can cause frostbite if eaten direct from the
freezer.

When disposing of your old fridge, freezer or
fridge/freezer:

Check with your local Council or Environmental Health
Officer to see if there are facilities in your area for
collecting the gas from the appliance for recycling. This
will help reduce the amount of CFC gas released into the
atmosphere.

Help to keep your country tidy - when disposing of an old
appliance or a CFC free appliance use an authorised
disposal site.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT
It is vital that these instructions are kept with the
freezer for future use. If the freezer is sold or given
to another user, or if you move and leave the freezer
behind, you must ensure that the instructions
accompany the freezer to enable the next user to
use the freezer correctly and read the relevant
warnings.

Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting
on all four plastic feet. Use a wooden block or similar
object to compensate for any bumps/holes in the
surface.

The room should be dry and adequately ventilated.

If the room temperature exceeds 43°C, or falls below
freezing point, the freezer will not function as it should.

Do not place the freezer close to sources of heat,
radiators, chimneys, etc., and do not place the freezer in
direct sunlight.

If the freezer has been handled standing on end it should
be allowed to stand in normal position for about 12 hours
before switching it on.

easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
