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 and being used
according to these instructions only.

Specialised 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, 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.

Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid

in the appliance, because they may
explode.

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
