1. Applying the guarantee is subject to the
consumer providing proof of purchase
showing the purchase and/or delivery date.

2. The guarantee will not apply if damage
caused to delicate parts, such as glass
(vitreous ceramic), synthetic materials and
rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.

3. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor
faults that do not affect the value or the
overall reliability of the appliance.

4. The statutory warranty does not apply when
defects are caused by:

- a chemical or electrochemical reaction
caused by water,

- abnormal environmental conditions in
general,

- unsuitable operating conditions,

- contact with harsh substances.

5. The guarantee does not apply to defects due
to transport which have occurred outside of
our responsibility. Nor will the guarantee
cove r those c a u s e d by inadequat e

or fa ilur e to respe ct t he a s semb ly
instructions or directions for use.

6. Defects that result from repairs or measures
carried out by people who are not qualified
or expert or defects that result from the
addition of non-original accessories or spare
parts are not covered by the guarantee.

Important safety information

General safety precautions

!

Keep these instructions and they should remain
at the appliance when moving away or
changing owner.
This appliance is designed for storing food,
domestic use according to these instructions
only.
Specialized companies that are qualified to do
so by the manufacturer must carry out service
and repairs including repairing and changing
the power cord. Accessory parts supplied by
them should be used only for repairing.
Otherwise the appliance can be damaged or can
cause other damage or injury.
The appliance is out of circuit only in that case
if the plug is removed from the socket. Before
cleaning and maintenance always unplug it (do
not get it by the cable). If the socket is difficult
to reach, switch off the appliance by cutting off
the current.
Power cord must not be lengthened.
Make sure that the power plug is not squashed
or damaged by the back of the fridge/freezer.
A damaged power plug may overheat and cause
a fire.
Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer
itself on the power cord.

- There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its
lead, particularly when the fridge/freezer is
being pulled out of its niche.

- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit,

fire and/or electric shock.

- If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a certified service agent or

qualified service personnel.

If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert

the power plug.

- There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
Without the lamp cover of interior lighting you
must not operate the appliance.
When cleaning, defrosting, taking out frozen
food or ice tray do not use sharp, pointed or
hard devices, as they can cause damage to the
appliance.
Be careful not to allow liquids to the
temperature control and lighting box.
Ice and ice-cream can cause hurt if they are
eaten immediately after removal from the
frozen food compartment.

After dissolving frozen food must not be
refrozen, it must be used up as soon as possible.
Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance
with the fr o z e n fo o d manufactu r e r s
instructions.
You must not make defrosting faster with any
electric heating appliance or chemicals.
Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the
appliance, because they may explode.
Do not store carbonated drinks, bottled drinks
and bottled fruits in the frozen food
compartment.
Check and clean the outlet of melting water
coming during defrosting regularly - a label
inside the appliance warns you for this. If it is
clogged the melting water gathered can cause
earlier failure.

!

Precautions for child safety

Do not allow children to play with the
packaging of the appliance. Plastic foil can
cause suffocation.
Adults must handle the appliance. Do not allow
children to play with it or its controlling parts.
If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug
out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as
close to the appliance as you can) and remove
the door to prevent playing children to suffer
electric shock or to close themselves into it.

!

Safety precautions for installation

Put the appliance to the wall to avoid touching
or catch ing war m part s (comp ress or,
condenser) to prevent possible burn.
When moving the appliance take care of the
plug not to be in the socket.
When placing the appliance take care not to
stand it on the power cord.
Adequate air circulation should be around the
appliance, lacking this leads to overheating. To
achieve sufficient ventilation follow the
instructions relevant to installation.
See chapter Placement.
